companion Meet Companion Ivy

it doesn't require a new game, it's just best to start Ivy with a new game so you get all of her added speech in all of the locations you visit. I enabled Ivy 2/3rd's of the way in my game and she work just fine. If you wanna take advantage of her scripts, then just revisit the places you already did without her. Also if you're playing with the magazine add on, certain mags will re spawn in the same place, at least in my game.

 

You're responding to the wrong person since that announcement came from Reginald's Discord. Maybe you should tell Reginald that you know more about his mod than he does.

I'm sure Reginald "appreciated" you telling him that, IF you did.  

 

However, I personally believe Reginald.

believe what you want. I loaded Ivy in to my game 2/3rd's in and already have her complete affinity. It all depends on how you treat her. Talk to her a lot, sleep with her a lot and her affinity grows. You only need ivy in a new game if you want all of her scripts, like when you start to build Sanctuary but it's not a hard requirement.

Does anybody know if with the magazine add on if the mags spawn to NW or FH?

well, then you should read his post on installation BC it says it will work in your game BUT is recommended for a new game.

yes

only if you talk dirty with her, and your affinity is high enough

adds porn mags for you to find. some give bonuses

do you know if the porn mags can be found only in the base game or if they are also in nuka and Far harbor?

Installation of Ivy can be done on any game that had NO previous version of Ivy active in it.

If any previous version of Ivy was active in the save, she will not function as intended and either short or long term save corruption is inevitable.

Does anyone know why with this mod installed my player character disappears and reappears periodically in certain places. Currently started a new game and this is happening in certain places in the museum. It only happens when I have this mod installed

[Arcticelf]

So quick question. I switched over to piper to get her companion perk, separated from Ivy.  However every time She enters a different cell from my character is at, Ivy will automatically teleport back to my character's side.  I'm not running AFT based on the Authors many warnings on the subject. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this and has any insight.   I did not find anything after running a search on the subject.

Also kurze Frage. Ich wechselte zu Piper, um ihren Begleiter-Perk zu bekommen, getrennt von Ivy. Aber jedes Mal, wenn sie eine andere Zelle betritt als mein Charakter, teleportiert sich Ivy automatisch zurück an die Seite meines Charakters. Ich führe AFT nicht aus, basierend auf den vielen Warnungen der Autoren zu diesem Thema. Ich habe mich gefragt, ob jemand anderes dies erlebt hat und einen Einblick hat. Ich habe nach einer Recherche zu dem Thema nichts gefunden.

The question is:

Have you ever used AFT on your current run and only disabled it when you "got" Ivy as your companion?

Did you start a completely new run without AFT?

How did you disable AFT - only disabled the "esm" or "esl" or uninstalled the whole mod?

--

I had a similar problem not with Ivy (when using AFT) but with Ida - having a modified (human) Ida.

I couldn't really "release" her - she kept showing up without being asked.

--

Furthermore, another mod could also play into it -> there is a mod where you can save prisoners in raider camps and turn them into settlers after their liberation. So that they don't have to run naked and unarmed to the selected settlement - you give them equipment, etc.

But if "DD devices" are included in the equipment, then the companion system on this NPC breaks completely.

--

Yes - I use AFT - at OWN risk

and

I deliberately avoid dismissing Ivy (because then exactly the error you described occurs) - she is acquired first and remains permanent.

I can hire or fire all other potential companions without error.

If you want to play without AFT you have to completely uninstall it and start a new game.

But even then there is always a small residual risk -> when uninstalling you never know exactly whether there are leftovers that have been overlooked somewhere - which can still lead to errors. That is why there is often a recommendation for a completely new game installation along with all the necessary mods.

I started a fresh game but did not hear or see Ivy's radio station play nor get the quest. I have downloaded and installed according to the read me. Any tips?

Dear Reginald, thx for that awesome mod. normal i hate Companions but Ivy is so different. now she has to stay in my game forever. but just a quick question. ivy gave me her Diary and i was wondering because she said: i insist you add something to it. so is this possible or just a line from her? thx for your time

Ich habe ein neues Spiel gestartet, aber weder Ivys Radiosender gehört oder gesehen noch die Quest erhalten. Ich habe es heruntergeladen und installiert, laut Readme. Irgendwelche Tipps?

So you got out on Vault 101 and approached the village south of it?
If so - is a map marker displayed in front of the village - still in the area of the mountain slope?
Were you already in front of the cellar entrance?
How long (how many minutes in REAL time) was the game running from the moment you exited Vault 101 and arrived at the basement hatch
Answering these questions would help.
Sometimes the script processing hangs a little - i.e. it takes a lot of time to "work through" everything after leaving the vault - the start of the Ivy quest can also suffer from this (is delayed)

I have it working now thank you!

[Renzetsu]

Hi did anyone else experience this missing walls? Its in the Museum of Freedom. When I uninstall Ivy, its back to normal. Please help!

Update: The specific file that I delete is "CompanionIvy_Nuka6.7z" for Ivy in Nukaworld. All other files do not cause the above problem.

Strange, never seen that glitch connected to Ivy - precombines perhaps, but that would definitely be caused by a different mod...load it again and enter TPC in the console and see what happens. HTH.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately there wasn't anything that happened when I typed TPC in console. I have been disabling other mods whist keeping Ivy installed to no avail. I will continue to investigate. Thanks again

Your screenie definitely looks like a broken previs issue, probably brought about by use of a scrapping or a settlement cleanup mod since these types of mods sometimes remove or allow you to remove objects that shouldn't be tampered with. Unfortunately, disabling them will probably not fix anything since what they broke is already baked into your save. Improper use of console commands can also cause this issue btw.

 

Try disabling or removing any cleanup or scrapping mod you may have and start a new game, just for testing purposes. Take a stroll over to Concord and see if you still have the issue. If you use Vortex or MO2, you can setup another profile for this without having to mess with your main.

 

There's a mod on Nexus called Previsibines Repair Pack (PRP) that might fix your issue but keep in mind that this will in all probability bring back anything that was improperly removed, which could be a serious issue in your already established settlements. 

 

And yes, this can be a pain in the ass to fix.

Does mod that changes combat AI conflict with Ivy?

[horouboi]

I have made a mod specifically for this. b.t.w. you can run with Ivy and Heather together without issue.

I was highly considering this fact as well but have tested the game with the isolated groups of mods being installed with the same result. I don't know whats going on. I would play the game without Ivy at this point but its hard not accept the fact that its just breaking the precombines for me. Thanks for the input anyway.
