So I am having trouble finding a definitive answer to this as some places say its 72 and others say 78. How many magazines are there in the Ivy magazine add on? I have 72 right now and a metric shit ton of copies but I haven't seen a new magazine in quite some time now. Do I have all of them or do I need to keep scouring the commonwealth? Thanks in advance!

72 unique mags!

I'm not quite sure anymore ... but some of these magazines could also be found twice??

Yes, magazines can show up a second time for certain.  I can't remember seeing a third one during a play through, but I imagine it could happen.  In this most recent play through I came across two I hadn't seen in numerous other play throughs, although I get bored at a certain point and restart with a different head canon (who is Nora/Nate, how has their previous life affected their new life?).

Magazines spawn randomly from a pool of 72 unique magazines.

We can't read your mind.  If you want help, you need to put in a little effort and explain better than just saying "can't get this mod to work."

 

How did you install it?  What mod manager (if any) are you using?

 

What specifically is the problem?

 

Does Ivy's bunker appear in your game?

 

That's the bare minimum info to provide.

Is there any issue if we clear Nuka World before Ivy's Nuka World quest triggers ?

So how do you recruit her? I bring her a certificate. It starts the configuration dialog. When the setting ends when it is called back, it again asks for a certificate, and so on ad infinitum. And nothing helps, neither a soft reset, nor a hardware one. Well, what to do with her?

Any followers framework by a chance?

Случайно нет фолловеров?

There are no other partners, I haven't left the Sanctuary yet. This is the very beginning of the game.

I see you're using a translator and it probably didn't translate the full meaning. It's ok, we can elaborate a little bit, so that the translation will hopefully make more sense. I believe what freebountyhunter was asking is if you are using any mod which would modify companions in any way, that includes mods which allow the player to recruit more than one companion at the same time. The question was asked, because those mods which modify companion feature of the game in these ways are unfortunately not compatible with Companion Ivy mod.

Not what I'm asking. I mean MULTI-follower/companion mods such as AFT, UCF, LIGA, etc.

Hey, I'm having some troubles with the game freezing up with Ivy following me. Been troubleshooting most of the morning, narrowed it down to her.
If I go into combat with her, then usually after a short amount of time the game freezes up, though music keeps playing. At that point, I have to kill the game with Task Manager.

I've got a spot where I can pretty reliably trigger the freeze within a few seconds, so I've been using that for testing.

I've tried swapping out her weapon and combat style, but gun or melee both still causes it. Also tried turning off Hypercombat, but that didn't help. I was getting this before even finishing the Hypercombat quest anyway.
If I send her home or just use the console to disable her, then I get no freezes. If I let her just follow me, I get freezes. I've reproduced it a few times now too, three big fights in this spot in a row with no freezes, then bring her back and instantly freeze.

Load order: https://pastebin.com/CQqPYJF0 (it's a big one)

Just thought of changing her armor, will try that real quick.

EDIT: Tried both a Soft and Hard reset, both still had a freeze moments after. So not the outfit she's wearing.
EDIT 2: Tried swapping her out for Codsworth and Heather Casdin, both went fine. Reloaded a save with Ivy, instant freeze again. So, it's not all companions.

Yes, I use the "LIGA" mod.

Most likely culprit then. It not quite well handles even with vanilla companions (MacCready for example). Try to disable it and start over. See if it helps. You could still use it after couple of tryouts and tinkering. But its a little headache for some ppl.

Тогда скорее всего виноват. Он не очень хорошо справляется даже с ванильными компаньонами (например, MacCready). Попробуйте отключить его и начать заново. Посмотрите, поможет ли это. Вы все еще можете использовать его после пары проб и переделки. Но это небольшая головная боль для некоторых людей.

Disabling the "Liga of my companions" mod made it possible to recruit Ivy. Thank you. But the question immediately arose, what about without mods for multi partners? Without the ability to hire multiple teammates, it's not exactly fun to play. What then should be put instead of Liga?

You could try Reginald's original framework (download it from his discord channel. Look for "RAM-FM" -link to discord is on the 1st page of this topic-).

and all other companion frameworks are to be used at -> your own risk

some do this (me too) - but they only work up to a maximum of 95%

and with the remaining 5% you can't expect any help from the mod author - because that's obviously not his problem

(so I have to find solutions myself - but they are not part of this thread)

Just made a new save with the same load order, rushed through the vault, got Ivy, ran to Concord... seconds after seeing the initial mob of raiders, it freezes.
So, it's not just an issue with my 20h save file, it seems to be something with Ivy/my load order itself.

Habe gerade einen neuen Speichervorgang mit der gleichen Ladereihenfolge durchgeführt, bin durch den Tresorraum gestürmt, habe Ivy geholt, bin zu Concord gerannt ... Sekunden nachdem ich die erste Gruppe von Angreifern gesehen habe, friert es ein.
Es ist also nicht nur ein Problem mit meiner 20-Stunden-Speicherdatei, es scheint etwas mit Ivy/meiner Ladereihenfolge selbst zu tun zu haben.

Absolutely correct - only during my installation (I have quite a lot of mods) such "freezes" did not occur to me

I'm assuming - that something changed the combat system (related to a companion) in general

(this is obvious from my point of view - but under certain circumstances it can also be something completely different - which "crosses into" here

what about other companions? The sniper from the bar is still the easiest to recruit for a test

I tested it with Codsworth and Heather Casdin and it was fine, I'll try it with MacCready now.

The only mod I have that really alters companions is Better Companions AiO https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18547
I didn't see any mentions of it in the thread as being a problem, and I did try disabling it in my save and still got crashes. Though, its changes may already be baked in.

EDIT: Yeah, MacCready was fine in Concord, no crashes. So, looks like normal followers are fine.

Ich habe es mit Codsworth und Heather Casdin getestet und es war in Ordnung, ich werde es jetzt mit MacCready versuchen.

Der einzige Mod, den ich habe, der Gefährten wirklich verändert, ist Better Companions AiO https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18547
Ich habe im Thread keine Hinweise darauf gesehen, dass es ein Problem darstellt, und ich habe versucht, es in meinem Speicherstand zu deaktivieren, aber es kam immer noch zu Abstürzen. Allerdings sind die Änderungen möglicherweise bereits integriert.

EDIT: Ja, MacCready lief in Concord einwandfrei, keine Abstürze. Es sieht also so aus, als ob normale Follower in Ordnung sind.

The mod with Ivy reacts very sensitively to gameplay interventions - because it brings its own for Ivy.

Your linked mod not only changes the vanilla companions visually but also in terms of gameplay. for a "Heather" (I have her as a companion myself alongside Ivy) this isn't a problem - she only uses the vanilla system in combat.

I'm assuming - that this mod is the cause of the crashes with Ivy as a companion.

After uninstalling, it SEEMS a lot better.
Though, she just did a Hypercombat attack and then it froze. Hard reset on Ivy didn't solve that, even with Better Companions uninstalled. I may just be able to disable Hypercombat though.

Vor 10 Minuten sagte PistonMan:

Nach der Deinstallation SCHEINT es viel besser.
Allerdings hat sie gerade einen Hyperkampfangriff ausgeführt und dann ist es eingefroren. Ein Hard-Reset bei Ivy hat das Problem nicht gelöst, selbst wenn Better Companions deinstalliert war. Möglicherweise kann ich Hypercombat jedoch einfach deaktivieren.

did you start from scratch - i.e. recreate your character as well?

The Hyper-Combat can be deactivated - she gives you a holotape.

But Ivy only gets this ability after a while that she accompanies you.

So loading an old save doesn't get you any further here.
