companion Meet Companion Ivy

Stehen die Magazine im Widerspruch zu anderen Magazin-Ersatzprodukten? 

 

no - they are completely independent ... even if Ivy makes comments every now and then about the standard magazines (no matter what cover they have) (she keeps asking me if the vanilla magazine she just found is one of her beloved porn magazines)

Thanks, that was making me wonder if other mag mods were overwriting Ivy's mags. Good to know.

Gerade eben sagte CharlesPost:

Danke, das brachte mich dazu, mich zu fragen, ob andere Mag-Mods Ivys Magazine überschrieben haben. Gut zu wissen. 

 

I have installed Ivy's magazine mod - but keep it "deactivated"... so I don't get the task of building the shelf and I can't find Ivy's magazine in the game either... but she still makes her comments about the vanilla magazines.

Why it is like that?

Only the mod author himself can comment on this

I added the Companion Ivy to my fallout game. I can tune into the radio but its silent and does not update the quest.

You have a mod that is interfering with her Radio. Just walk to her basement beneath the radio tower, just outside of Vault 111.

Quick question I haven't been able to find an answer to.  Does Ivy have different dialogue depending on the players gender?

I ask that because it crashes on startup using  Start Me Up Redux (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/56984?tab=description&BH=0).
So it's unplayable 😅
It's so sad that Fallout 4 biggest weakness is the very restrictive main quest...

Holy crap...I was wondering what was going on. Thanks for the insight! I'll have to try the new version on a new play-through then. Currently running Start Me Up Redux on this one

Okay. Ivy is all updated and started a new game. As soon as we get out of her home she starts getting pissed at my character. I don't like that, you're starting to irritate me, stop messing with my reality and stuff like that. I have no idea why. I haven't even gotten to sanctuary with her yet. The only Ivy mods I have are the ones from your page. It's bad enough when my wife gets mad and I have no idea why but now it's happening in a game also? Wth??

Okay. Ivy ist auf dem neuesten Stand und hat ein neues Spiel gestartet. Sobald wir ihr Zuhause verlassen, fängt sie an, sauer auf meine Figur zu werden. Das gefällt mir nicht, du fängst an, mich zu irritieren, hör auf, dich mit meiner Realität herumzuschlagen und solche Sachen. Ich habe keine Idee warum. Ich war noch nicht einmal bei ihr im Zufluchtsort. Die einzigen Ivy-Mods, die ich habe, sind die von Ihrer Seite. Es ist schon schlimm genug, wenn meine Frau wütend wird und ich keine Ahnung habe, warum, aber jetzt passiert es auch in einem Spiel? Was??

 

How do you get to Ivy without having been in her basement (that's her HOME)?

 

Have you even found the "note" (voucher) that Ivy needs to accompany you?

 

Actually, it should work like this:

You have something that alters her size. Make sure nothing changes her size below 0.98 of normal.

When  i finished  a battle and knee down for the human meat, Ivy sometimes did the same, then CTD happened. 

[Joe_Oni]

hey, I got interrupted during Ivy's dialogue after  opening Mercy's journal #3 so I didn't trigger the next journal location.

 

Can anyone tell me where Mercy's Journal #4 is located or how to the trigger the event.

 

thanks

re-reading journal #3 should trigger it.  if that does not work if you can tell me (i got lousy memory at times) where Journal 3 was i can probably

remember where #4 will be. 

 

IIRC there journals 2-3-4 are Fallons Dept Store, West Roxbury Station, and Shaw High School, as for which is in which exactly i do not remember

(and i could be wrong as to which Mercy Journal # is in those locations).  best option would be if re-reading it triggers the marker.

Das erneute Lesen von Tagebuch Nr. 3 sollte es auslösen. Wenn das nicht funktioniert, können Sie mir wahrscheinlich sagen (ich habe manchmal ein schlechtes Gedächtnis), wo Journal 3 war

Denken Sie daran, wo Nummer 4 sein wird. 

 

Die IIRC-Zeitschriften 2-3-4 sind Fallons Dept Store, West Roxbury Station und Shaw High School, ich weiß nicht mehr genau, in welchem

(Und ich könnte mich irren, wenn es darum geht, welche Mercy Journal-Nummer sich an diesen Orten befindet). Die beste Option wäre, wenn ein erneutes Lesen den Marker auslöst.

 

 

you could of course also create a (HARD) save point BEFORE reading ... just to be sure - that a disturbance during reading does not cause such problems

Thanks  #3 is in West Roxbury and #4 was in Fallon's, quest now back on track

700+ mods,  edited saving for survival, still forget to save on aaf events even though I know better, never expected to have to save before reading a note. 😝

@Reginald_001 Can i request a companion? It’s already made I just need it converted from Skyrim Special Edition or you can use the outfit (at least to start) that was already converted for fallout 4. The author gave permission.

After a gunfight, Ivy said something like “That was pretty intense, I could use a hug.”  I went over to hug her, then realized it was only a bark.  Since the VA is an experienced adult animation actress, have you considered making AAF scenes, or other scenes for some of the things Ivy says that normally might start animations?  Note, I haven’t got far with Ivy, so I don’t know what’s coming, but so far she has said a bunch of things a couple of which I might not mind taking her up on.

It's always been the base rule of thumb that my mods do not have any dependencies, not on frameworks, fo4se, etc.. etc.. so that they always keep working no matter what types of updates drop for the game.

 

(Little did I know that they would actually alter quest content 8 years after release so there's some incompatibilities in the latest 2 updates for fo4 to drop but nothing gamebreaking regarding Ivy or my other mods so far. Once updates have calmed down and I'm sure Beth won't break more stuff, I'll drop an update for Ivy.)

The issue with the quest Institionalized is still around. The child synth Shaun refuses to respond when you first time get into the institute, and attempting to work around with console commands will only result in the actual Shaun to go into a dialogue deadlock.

It's been patched in 6.1. Just make sure to teleport Ivy towards you as soon as you enter the Institute.

Oh sweet jesus it worked. I was concerned I would have to ditch Ivy entirely already on the precipe of her NW start, didn't know she needed to be teleported in. But thank you.

Hello !

I am using a translator for this message
I wanted to ask you a few questions about Ivy, I started a game a little while ago (Kellogg's Hunt in the main story), and I wanted to know if it was too late to install the mod now or if it was worth better to start a new game to better understand the character and what if I missed a lot of interaction/line of dialogue?
Also is the mod compatible with the Fusion city, Outcasts and Remnants, Project valkyrie and depravity mod series?
And finally, is it consistent to use other companion mods like Heather for example?
I suspect that all these questions have already been addressed on the forum but I got a little discouraged when I saw the 165 pages of messages.

Thank you !

[Miauzi]

Vor einer Stunde sagte Starkime:

Hallo !

Ich verwende für diese Nachricht einen Übersetzer
Ich wollte Ihnen ein paar Fragen zu Ivy stellen, ich habe vor einiger Zeit ein Spiel gestartet (Kellogg's Hunt in der Hauptgeschichte) und ich wollte wissen, ob es zu spät ist, den Mod jetzt zu installieren, oder ob es sich besser lohnt, dies zu tun Starten Sie ein neues Spiel, um den Charakter besser zu verstehen. Was passiert, wenn ich viel Interaktion/Dialogzeile verpasst habe?
Ist der Mod auch mit den Mod-Serien Fusion City, Outcasts and Remnants, Project Valkyrie und Depravity kompatibel?
Und schließlich: Ist es konsequent, andere Companion-Mods wie beispielsweise Heather zu verwenden?
Ich vermute, dass all diese Fragen bereits im Forum beantwortet wurden, aber ich war ein wenig entmutigt, als ich die 165 Seiten voller Nachrichten sah.

Danke !

 

I personally use both Ivy and Heather as companions (I'm currently testing "Darlene") - I've also installed the other mods you mentioned... yes - they work pretty well together

 

BUT

 

it's definitely a good idea to start the game from scratch - although you can certainly start your game with an alternative start

as an example, I linked my own blog story - the story line also incorporates the recommendations of the author of Ivy

 

 

Addendum:

If you're not yet very experienced in dealing with multi-follower mods - please follow the recommendation of the mod author of Ivy!

[Starkime]

Well I think I'm going to start a new part then...

It's still really annoying, it's the 3rd time I've started the game again because of mods that modify the game too much and increase the risk of crashing or quite simply a mod that adds so much content that it's better to start again from the beginning haha .

Thank you for your advice, I will also look at the list of accounting mods that you recommended to me!
