Put the mod in, and the game's borked. Simple as. Tell me how to get it to work. I played it before, but never downloaded from Google drive before. Perhaps someone hacked and modified the mod.

Yes, cum hoc ergo proctor hoc. But it was such a difficulty to fix, I want to know what happened and how to avoid that again. Sorry that pisses you off, but I'm not downloading anything that isn't on Loverlab unless I know why it's not on Loverslab again.

You're still just pouring water and not saying anything specific.

Ivy creates black hole? (I wouldn't mind)

You could explain what exact problems you do have.

I'm freaking love this

I've made runins with Ivy with shitty setups. I've played with New game, middle, even. You would laugh, postgame. I can't say this mod's ever borked something

The files would be on LL but they are too large for hosting that is all.

100.000+ people played with Ivy and all of them did not have the issue of 'game gets borked'.

 

'Game gets borked' is also no information anyone can use to help anyone with.

No symptoms, no information, just 'game is borked'.

 

There's 178 pages of support here, there is 5 blogs with multiple pages of documentation.

There's a discord with online help.

 

If you can't figure it out, it's just not my problem anymore.

Figure it out yourself, or go use one of those modlists everyone's so giddy about.

Did you start a new game, or just drop it in to an existing save?
Did you try to update Ivy without *completely* removing all old files first?

Ivy is not on LL because the mod author chose not to upload her to LL, just like he chose not to put her on Nexus. That is the only reason you need. I have a lot of mods in my games that are not available on either of those two platforms, and they work just fine. Where a mod author chooses to have their mod hosted is entirely up to them. 

 

Ivy didn't bork your game - you either installed her files incorrectly, or something else in your modlist is causing a conflict

 

If you actually want help, you might want to attach your crash/papyrus logs, as well as a clear, detailed description of what is happening in your game.

I Put it in an existing game. There were no old files as it was a new computer. LoversLab and Nexus are safer.

Just saying, I played with ivy in the past. New computer, went to download it again, something horrible happened. Not only did I uninstall and delete any trace of Fallout, but it wouldn't repair until I deleted and reinsalled Vortex. I probably did a lot of deletes just to start over, but Fallout was borked until I went in and deleted a lot of files out of MY games and my app directory.

Not saying your mod did it, saying it happened right after I added your mod.

Maybe the download is corrupt. Came here to see if someone else experienced this. If it's because I put it into an existing game, my gawd. Personally, I was looking to see a "me to" and "it was a trojan" and to see if it was safe or not. Lots of crazies out there don't like this sort of mod.

I'll go now. Thanks

Here you go. Blame yoursef then. Universe loves you.

You've corrupted something on YOUR end.

Author's tired of explaining that it's not his fault nor mods

Why should community've to guess what you did wrong?

Did you blame Beth for shittyhapens CTDs withnot in papyrus logs. Neither I did

You can just say there were no reports of hacking the mod and not been rude.

What is it with gamers that they lack all social... fuck... I'm playing a murder game... of course.

Seriously? You are asking what is it with gamers that they lack all social ... fuck... while complaining that some one was "rude".

 

Who is the one with the problem? You are. You are the one that did something that borked your game. You are the one that didn't use the resources and get proper assistance and try to resolve your problem. Instead you attacked a mod author that is providing a service for FREE. You are incapable of taking responsiblity for your own actions. All this and it is the members and mod author THAT IS THE RUDE ONE?

 

You asked what you should do above. I will give you the answer. Move on. Leave, don't use this mod or any mod not hosted on LL. In fact, I'd suggest that you don't mod your game. You WILL encounter another issue. I promise you will. Just use the default game.

Oh, really? Damn I just installed it after getting the popup. Is it safe to leave active?

 

BTW; this is my first time playing with Ivy and I just gotta say thank you for making such a fun and unique companion. She's made me laugh out loud more than a few times already and we haven't made it past Concord yet. I thought I'd miss having more than one at a time but I'm looking forward to playing with just her.

You are in for a real treat... there is WAY more to come... WAY MORE.  She is very interactive and has a very rich character.

Experienced what FFS? You're still pulling the wool over eyes. Just say it already. Show us on Teddy where Ivy touched you

Spoiler

Just do it! (c)

You've killed alot with your *new* setup. Plus you're using Vortex. Won't say anything bad about it, but... It's the first culprit of bad things

I've been trying to use it myself and.... Meh

You could give at least your load order for starters; modlist

1: Hello everyone

2: I have a problem, could you take a look, please?

describe your problem or/and provide logs and screens

3: Thank you kindly

Holy shit, you ain't kidding, lol. I'm still unraveling her past but damn it is the Hyper Combat upgrade a spectacle! And her Erotic Stories are top notch, especially when told around an evening campfire.

as anyone else run into this issue with Ivy teleporting despite being dismissed? Is there a specific setting I might be missing in the Holotape, or could this be a bug in my version of the mod? Any advice on further troubleshooting (e.g., console commands, log checking, or script resets) would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to provide more details or try any suggestions!

Thank you so much for your time and help!

Recruit Ivy again, but this time dismiss her through her dialog, then recruit whoever else you want to.

That stops it.

I am probably asking a daft question here, i know zero about pc,s but i had a CTD the other day nothing to do directly with Ivy....My mate told me to do a plug in checker on wrye bash, which found a few issues which i pretty much mange to get sorted through google and youtube.. However wrye bash did pick up a missing base file on companion IVY, I tried quick auto clean as suggested but it did not do anything..

Is this something to be concerned about... The game seems to be running fine...either way any help or advice would be gratefully appreciated....

Ignore it.

Has anyone else run into an issue with Ivy no longer commenting on the things that happen in the main game questline?

I started a new playthrough and played for a long time (mostly doing mod quests) and when I sat down to do the main quest and finally find my son Ivy isn't reacting to anything, I swear she used to interact during story dialogue. I could swear I remember her commenting during the interview with Piper or the first visit to Valantine's detective agency, but this time around she just... isn't

Any incite would be appreciated

[unevenrm]

Girls can be so cruel.

HalluciGen:

Ivy: "Let's press all the buttons and see what happens!"

Heather: "Press the buttons! Do it!"

[Halcyel]

I’ve been using the Ivy Companion Mod (version 6.1) in Fallout 4, and recently encountered a strange issue. When Ivy is recruited as a follower, her voice completely disappears during interactions—only subtitles appear, and her lips don’t move during dialogue. However, when she’s not recruited, her voice and dialogue work normally.

I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Disabled XDI compatibility patch and tested it, but the issue persists.

2. Recycled her actor with the console command (recycleactor), but it didn’t resolve the problem.

3. Used commands like setplayerteammate 1, disable, enable, and reinstalling the mod, but none of these worked.

4. The mod works fine in the past, with no issues until recently.

I'm playing Fallout 4 Next-Gen (1.10.984.0) using Mod Organizer 2, and the game usually runs smoothly at 60fps.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or know any solutions? Any help would be appreciated!

Oh thank you so much that worked, i never though that would be the problem. Now... How can we make them compatible, I totally prefer Ivy but I would like the other mod to work hahaha.

Always a problem. Been testing AFT+ with Ivy (where is kchurchjr?). Any incarnation of this "framework" still breaks Ivy despite patch... Same goes to vanillas... They claim that they got rid of all the bugs. Na-ah

Simple example: BoS ArcJet quest with ANY multi - shit happens (even without Ivy), 'cept RAM-FM (this not an AD of it)

Magna Cum Gaudio has a simular mechanic, it doesn't appear to have that effect, and you can blacklist Ivy from the npc npc sex and npc initiative systems

 

 

[Charvelx04]

Twinsies!

 

Been reading up here in this thread about what companions you can or shouldn't use with Ivy... ah hell, let's get this over with. Ivy is fricken awesome... and there truly isn't a need to use any vanilla companions outside of their own storylines..., for example, coming across Diamond City for the first time, you meet Piper (yes, Ivy will interact with her)... but once you get thru those quests with the individuals, Nick as well,... nothing stops you from using Ivy along with the likes of Heather, Sarah, etc... or any that do not use the vanilla system whatsoever.

 

I've enjoyed this mod from start to... well, it hasn't ended. Ivy's dialog (along with her magazine info discussions) seem to be never ending. Out of over 200 mods I've tried, several of them companion mods, etc... and including the largest quests known, Fen's, OaR, Depravity (that's a wicked one) Northern Springs, Enclave.. etc,... regardless if they're actual quest mods, new area mods, really doesn't matter... Ivy fits in. Sure, you may have to temporarily dismiss her for other mods that need a vanilla slot, but take her back the moment you're done. Really kinda the only mood killer is starting a new game and having her as a first companion... you quickly run into vanilla quests that require Piper then Nick, but their vanilla romance affinities are just boring. As most of them are.

 

While you can't "marry" Ivy like you "can" with Heather, those two run beautifully together... as does Sarah (pictured here for that twin look). I've played hours on end with these three... and trust me when I say, the comments, the flirtations you run into with these three are ... well, just try it if you'd like. 


And no... I don't use any companion mods that allow multiple vanilla followers. Just don't do it and you won't have issues.

 

Last but seriously not least... thank you. Thank you for this.

Greetings. I got a question. Does the mod run if you unpack all ba2 files? I'm at limit.

Hi Reginald, I need your help or someone else's. The quest "Ivy goes to Nuka World" does not start for me (... When I collected all the diaries, Ivy began to give an initial remark about Nuka World, but the dialogue itself does not start. I restarted "CompanionIvy_Nuka" separately, but after that, her remark about Nuka World disappeared altogether. Please write me a console command for some initial stage of the quest or a script to continue the dialogue. (Version 6.0)

[IBAGadget]

Do you have the Quest in your Pip-boy?

If so, take her to Nuka World
