I've run into a unique, (possibly) issue... it seems, that when passing thru doors or fast traveling... if, and I do mean if and at random, I'll be too far from Ivy and she'll teleport to me at near the exact same time I fast travel/enter door.

 

When timed right... she ends up in this horizontal position. Unable to move except twirl around on the floor/ground. She still speaks, she still teleports within the cell, aka area or building that I am in (both inside and outside - it's quite comically seeing her slide across the ground). To correct it, I fast travel to Sanctuary Hills... I keep most mods away from that area and leave it as vanilla as possible and it seems to reset issues I may have here and there.

 

I am not sure if any of her custom clothes or weapons has any effect on the problem. As of this post I don't recall what mod her clothes are coming from, but she's using a Firelance pistol I got from Xander's Aid. I'll fire up the game again here shortly and update this post with the name of the clothing mod... as well as the one for her earrings.

The "sitting" and "standing" of companions is a problem with the engine – you find it in Skyrim as well... and it really annoys me, too.

 

Futa characters may be a "hit" in the porn industry... but in regular games - which are "spiced up" with sex - they occupy a tiny niche.

And in this small niche, "Sykrim" is the absolute leader - in comparison, "Fallout 4" is practically not represented at all.

I'm writing this as a user who frequently uses futa characters in his game.

 

Let's see if I can add my thoughts should they properly carry the correct context in which I type them.

 

Futa has it's place, no doubts. But, Ivy isn't one of them.

 

See... not just her character, but the woman's voice being used is violently sexual. She brings Ivy to life in such a way, that if I heard her say.. "My dick is so hard for you right now" in the same voice as she says "my pussy is just dripping for you.. come fuck me", I wouldn't have finished her story all the way thru. She changes still a tiny bit, after bit, when your main story is done... and I truly could not see this character being hermaphrodite. 

 

Now... Reg's Maidbot on the other hand. 

 

That mod has stayed simplistic. A few tweaks and a good story similar to Ivy's... and you could easily have someone in a caretaking role, take care of you in ways only someone of both sexes could.

 

But not Ivy... and if changing her is one thing you're left with... not quite sure you soaked yourself into the story completely. That girl went thru hell... adding a dick would have been all but useless.

Like it when people argue, implement thier thoughts. It makes her really LIVE person. Thank you, Reginald, for Ivy

Ivy as a Futa???  That was never meant at any time or place. The Futa is the SS who redeems her and is a complex char with feminine sensitivities(including jealousy) and male sexuality. It is a hard role to play always  but I was so sick of vanilla male chars with one aim in life or female chars who spent most of their time on their backs or in dodging it. The gain was in having an eye candy char to look at. The problem is that by not being AAF recognised, the Ivy mod essentially treats the SS as  lesbian and with Ivy's well known appreciation of erect penises, no matter how often the futa screws her, it appears that the mod sees her needs there are not fulfilled.Whether this is responsible for the speech lapses in an Ivy who has not hooked for 62+ years or is deliberately intended by Reg or is accidental makes no difference as you constantly feel that you cannot trust her sexually which WRT Ivy is at odds with her survival need. She needs the SS more than the SS needs her and repetitive infidelity will see her dumped permanently. The redeemer of Ivy is not just her master/mistress but the one who is there to protect her from the world and herself and to enable her to make peace with herself and her memories and to find that she is a persona of value who no longer needs to be treated like sh*t to feel normal. ALL IMHO and at odds with Reg's view.

Ivy als Futa??? Das war nie und nirgends so gemeint. Die Futa ist die SS, die sie erlöst, und ein komplexer Charakter mit weiblichen Empfindsamkeiten (einschließlich Eifersucht) und männlicher Sexualität. Es ist immer eine schwierige Rolle, aber ich hatte die Nase voll von männlichen Vanilla-Chars mit einem Lebensziel oder weiblichen Chars, die die meiste Zeit auf dem Rücken liegen oder ihm ausweichen. Der Vorteil war, einen Hingucker zu haben. Das Problem ist, dass der Ivy-Mod die SS, da sie nicht von AAF anerkannt ist, im Grunde als lesbisch behandelt. Und da Ivy bekanntermaßen erigierte Penisse liebt, scheint der Mod ihre Bedürfnisse dort unerfüllt zu sehen, egal wie oft die Futa sie vögelt. Ob dies für die Sprachfehler einer Ivy verantwortlich ist, die seit über 62 Jahren nicht mehr sexuell aktiv ist, von Reg absichtlich so gewollt ist oder unabsichtlich geschieht, spielt keine Rolle, da man ständig das Gefühl hat, ihr sexuell nicht vertrauen zu können, was in Bezug auf Ivy im Widerspruch zu ihrem Überlebensbedürfnis steht. Sie braucht die SS mehr als die SS sie, und wiederholte Untreue wird dazu führen, dass sie endgültig verlassen wird. Ivys Erlöser ist nicht nur ihr Herr/ihre Herrin, sondern derjenige, der sie vor der Welt und sich selbst beschützt und ihr ermöglicht, mit sich selbst und ihren Erinnerungen Frieden zu schließen und zu erkennen, dass sie eine wertvolle Person ist, die nicht länger wie Dreck behandelt werden muss, um sich normal zu fühlen. ALLES MEINER MEINUNG NACH und im Widerspruch zu Regs Ansicht.

 

It was a good thing I waited longer to respond to your previous post... because I also assumed that you were interested in introducing Ivy as a futa creature.

-

We all use a mod by an author - because we do NOT fully know the background of his character "Ivy."

This opens up the possibility for us users to create our own interpretation of this character and thus better align it with the intentions we have for our own player avatars!

-

To better understand my perspective here - I'll briefly explain the background that leads me to this view:

We all mentally create our own "universe" in which our game avatars interact with the NPCs of this dystrophic society - we all use the opportunity to deviate from a predetermined path.

To do this, we not only create our own (mental) backstory for the player avatar, but also establish rules – the extent to which our actions have consequences in this "virtual" world... and we consciously or unconsciously fill in the gaps with our own ideas (based on our life experiences, dreams, and desires).

-

This creates a "universe" each time that differs more or less significantly from that of the mod author – and from there, we discuss their possible intentions or "failures."

-

When I had the idea of creating my own blog story – set in the Fallout world – it became clear to me very early on that "Ivy" would be the most important companion for my own game character... because, in my opinion, she would fit perfectly with the backstory of my avatar (a Chinese spy resurrected as a synth).

I was able to explore the important theme of "What am I really?" narratively through both characters... The diverse contradictions in the character "Ivy" don't conflict with those of my avatar - different causes and different resolution strategies... but both characters need each other to make some progress on their respective "paths to redemption."

-

Based on this, I look very different from "Ivy" in many different ways. You know... it starts with the basis:

1) My character, as a synth, is based on the still experimental 3.5 variant of the fully biological synth - but has the special feature of the memories of a professional dominatrix from the pre-war era... The background is the experiment on detective Nick Valentine - whose personality was transferred to a Synth 2.5.

2) Ivy's body is based on the latest development of "mechanical" synths - I've dubbed it "internally" -> Synth 2.9... a series that the Institute had discontinued due to the development of biological synths (Shaun had just been kidnapped by the Institute as a genetic source) - references to this can be found in the Ivy mod.

Dr. Stein also mentions that there is a male version in addition to a female one.

-

For me, this aligns with Ivy's statement - that she is NOT a synth... flesh on the outside, metal on the inside, and has a biological brain - namely that of "Mercy."

-

The preparation for the plot to be written went back several years now... and the information about Dr. Stein comes from a single, rather chaotic playthrough - especially the finale in Nuka World.

So, thank you for correcting or adding an important detail - I had already forgotten too much of it.

-

Unlike you, however, I don't think the mod author intended for Ivy to be treated badly... because the truly decisive phase is the player's actions towards Ivy in Nuka World.

This in particular reminded me of my own fate in my long-term relationship with my now-wife – who has a similarly complex psychological profile as Ivy. Medical details would take me too far here... but sex was NOT the path to salvation here – rather, it was the fact that other things (trust, comfort, safety, etc.) became significantly more important – to prevent the severe traumas from erupting openly.

(By the way, my wife has an "intersex" background – so please no sayings like "futas have the best of both worlds"... in real life, that's absolute bullshit!)

-

Ivy was created primarily for a male heterosexual audience – approximately 90% of Fallout players are "wired" that way.

The fact that I, as a lesbian woman, still find enough "points of attack" here is partly thanks to other mod authors with the sex framework... the rest is my own "roll-play" - into which I was also able to easily incorporate BDSM elements and polyamorous aspects.

-

I'm glad that I can use the "Ivy" mod so flexibly - but it would never occur to me to -> impose my absolute niche ideas on the mod author.

-

Once again on Dr. Stein

In my interpretation, He "entered" into a male version of the Synth 2.9 version through surgical brain transfer – which, like Ivy, is strictly speaking a "cyborg."

-

Since he escaped from the Institute more than 60 years ago, he, in my opinion, has no access to the fully biological 3.0 generation synths... and, even more importantly, no access to the full brain scan technology used to transfer both Valentin and my avatar... the "side effect" of this deep scan is the irreparable destruction of the original brain.

Attention – this is a key premise of my plot – MY own definition!

-

However, every player can define their own premises in their version of the Fallout universe!!

I totally agree with this.

 

Hence why her feelings seem to expand exponentially if certain paths are chosen in the words spoken to her. The more Ivy feels you've got her back, the more she feels you've accepted who she is... well, for those that haven't played with her, do.. you'll find out.

Thank you! An excellent riposte to my post and it will require a day or two of reflection to obtain a well deserved complete  answer. Pro temp, the below will have to do.

 

WRT Reg: I admire his work and love Ivy, but either by accident (his words) or deliberately (from his warnings to me about the FH expansion) he has left (or added in FH along with "scenes") speech lines in a never hooking Ivy that belong to the hooker Ivy, and their presence in a never hooking Ivy creates conflict and distrust (e.g., I will have the horrors when Travis rolls up ).  I do not believe that Reg wants Ivy to be hurt by anyone, NPC or SS but IMHO he wishes her to remain her perverted, self-hating,, sluttish self, with or without the SS as that has been her main "selling point" for the sexually frustrated masses that dominate LL.  My Futa was a normal female in Commonwealth Slavers which is a wonderful mod that describes so well true sexual slavery but it left her with a hatred of most males and my Futa char has carried this over being a dominant male hater who only captures women who attack her as slaves.

 

I simply see that Ivy can be redeemed as a person and enabled to "climb over the fence"as a "normal " person.  What do I mean by this? less perverted. less vulgar, less obsessed with dicks and faithful but with still her "mouth" and viewpoints. She is even now, so sensitive generally(VH affinity) and caring towards hurt settlers that I see hope. I do not wish to change her just dampen her down and make her happy in the process

 

BTW the Institute had been working on post nuke DNA for >100 years before Ivy was created and I have disagreed with Reg on this several times. They could build post nuke >2.5 Synths who were a blend of robotics (bone) and human tissue (skin/muscle/ organs...including modified sexual) but the problem was the brain and and until they obtained Shaun they could not overcome this except for Ivy. It was only when Stein realized that not only had the brain to immunologically(as well as neurologically/emotionally) accept the body as opposed to rejecting it, BUT the body had to immunologically accept the brain as well and it was this that made him add so much of Mercy's body and IMHO Ivy is a chimera of both DNA lines. There is no doubt that she has robotic parts: AI, bones, Electronic infrastructure etc., but she is more human than she realizes and this is why I believe that she can be redeemed . 

BTW I am running an A.S.I.A. SS  F4 profile with Ivy & with the same SS char(dominant male disliker) also as a sexbot and that could be interesting but early stages only.  I will try later to answer any missed points

 I never answered this as TBH I missed it: I do not think that Reg intended such also. But they way she acts and speaks makes her a target for the male trash whether they can or cannot afford here when she is whoring. Most males are sexually insecure (there is ALWAYS someone with a bigger penis or better in bed) and many feel that they are just world flotsam, so when a woman like Ivy comes along flaunting her sexuality openly in any world she will become a target for their needs and if she gives freely(pub gangbang with 10 guys) as they see themselves as trash they see her as even worse. I have talked with some pretty girls who were "town bikes" and they were spat upon, bashed, left naked inn the street, etc. by the same guys that screwed them(I told them to move to a new city which they did ..both happily and married now). Even high class callgirls are vulnerable like this to their "customers" and once it is realized by others what she is, the contempt escalates and even neighbours will show scorn or worse. One beautiful girl whose occupation was supposed to be a legal secretary finished up in hospital with facial lacerations and a fractured maxilla and mandible . She told me that she had been moonlighting as a call girl and one of her customers went berserk.

 

When I was in my teens, my car gearbox jammed  and on 5 consecutive nights when I visited my girlfriend I drove a different car as the dealer let me have one (but always only for one day) . The result had a neighbour assuming that she was a slut or whore virtually breaking into her flat and trying to rape her. Luckily she escaped unharmed but it shows you just how they notice and the assumptions they quickly make.

 

Because we think highly of Ivy  we do not realize just how such when so open about it all are seen by the average male in F4 for whom she is unattainable and if they "get" her she will be treated very badly. IMHO there is a total failure here in LL and in modders to recognize the fragility of the male ego WRT sexuality. That was my criticism of Reg and why my char tries to redeem her as a person.  Believe me! The flak I cop for saying this has been incredible: e.g., "it is just a mod..get real etc." The mod, like Commonwealth Slavers is a window into who we are.

No, don't lie. That's not what you did. You shared your opinion on our Discord and most everyone disagreed with you because you made demands on how I should alter the mod to your wishes, claiming ownership over Ivy, as if you had anything to do with her creation, or as if you have anything to say about how she is made. You then claim to understand better than I, the actual writer, what her character should be and how people should perceive her, speaking as if you have some kind of authority on the subject. I allowed this as I allow all people's interpretations on Ivy. So I said, also to everyone in Discord, that you are entitled to your opinion as they are entitled to theirs. You claimed I was going to 'ban/kick you' because of this, which of course I didn't, because I don't ban people for having differing opinions than I.

 

What I don't tolerate and call out, however, is the consistent way you keep trying to push these weird opinions of yours. I've heard them, fine. I disagree with you, you are misinterpreting and projecting personal issues onto the mod. Stuff that I want nothing to do with. So asking you kindly once again, drop the subject. It is not your mod. If you want to make mods and write, do so and stop bothering me and Ivy (the mod).

 

Continuation on this subject WILL be seen as trolling and acted upon accordingly.

Really, last time I ask you friendly, next time I'm reporting for trolling.

 

Do not bother replying, I will NOT reply to you again, you BORE me and you're polluting the support thread.

Please note, the post you are referencing appears to reference the vanilla AFT mod, not AFT plus which has a specific patch for Ivy. Many people, myself included, have had excellent results with AFT plus and the Ivy patch but there is only ONE multi-follower mod guaranteed to work with Ivy and that's RAM-FM, available on the Ivy Discord.

What is the link to Ivy Discord thanks

I just finished up Ivy's quest in Nuka World and it was absolutely amazing. This mod made me laugh at times and others sad hearing about Ivy's story. I enjoyed the music and Ivy's voice especially. I had a couple of minor issues but I think that was because I used Sim Settlements 2. I couldn't find for instance Mercy's note (I think) in the Gunners Plaza maybe because I progressed too far in the Settlements 2 quests. But I just spawned the note and continued on. I did personally turn off the extreme profanity but kept on the other options.

 

All in all this was a great mod I don't think I want to use any other companions than Ivy in any new games. To Reginald and everyone else that created this mod thank you for all your hard work on this it was enjoyable. Thinking about Ivy talking back to npc characters like Sturges just makes me laugh. Thank you guys!

Mods made by mod makers who love their creations really shine above the rest.  Reginald_001 and JB. are prime examples of the best work by mod makers.

Introduction

Welcome to Companion Ivy!

Ivy was created with the greatest of care and dedication.
Over 2 years of development time went into creating a rich and full backstory that fits in the world and in the storyline of Fallout. While she may at first glance appear to be a mindless sex puppet, she is far more than that!

 

Her 'mind' was created using real life psychological models, exploring childhood trauma, nihilism, existentialism and other psychological phenomenon. She draws upon a rich history of psychology as taught by Freud, Carl Jung and many other renowned clinical psychologists around the world. But next to that, she is also sexy as hell and delivers powerful lines with a comic punch that will make you smile, smirk, or cry every time she surprises you with a new line of dialogue as you travel the wasteland together.

 

Her psychological profile was created from three distinct personalities, which you as player will come to meet as you travel with her and get to know her better. Each personality fights for its own place within Ivy, making her a unique individual and one that is consistent in the world, based on real life psychological principles.

Always remember when talking to Ivy that she likes to use metaphores!

 

Ivy is a so called 'Prime Companion'.
You could also describe it as a 'Gold' companion.. what does this mean? It basically means she has a shitload of content. Much, much more than regular companions have and perhaps... maybe even the most content of any custom companion for any Bathesda game to date (the jury is still out on that one). At the time of writing all of her dialogue in all of her base mod and add-ons count for nearly 9500 lines of dialogue. But the current base mod has around 7000 lines of dialogue. In comparison, the player character has 12000 lines!

 

This means that she is meant to be used as a SINGLE FOLLOWER and has about as much content as a regular DLC sized add-on as released by Bethesda.

Ivy comes with many special functions, multiple quests (in new locations) and thousands of lines of dialogue, unique for each situation, location and quest. Her radio station offers trailers, music, news and weather reports. She comes with add-ons, DLC and other extras.

 

Consider Ivy to be a game-long quest.

Ivy needs a NEW GAME.

Meaning you, walking out of the vault, and recruiting her directly, to run with you through the game.

She was not designed to be recruited in a later/high level save. It will result losing a lot of content that's important. Her quests and affinity are designed to be built up from the moment you leave the Vault. This is an important distinction between regular followers. Ivy is like a long running quest, not a follower to fill the troupe of other followers with. If that's your thing, Ivy is not for you!

 

WARNING: Using Ivy with multi follower mods will result in lack of functionality for Ivy.
Ivy allows you to travel with Dogmeat as a secondary companion if you use a suitable mod to enable that functionality.

 Warning & Legal

  Reveal hidden contents

Permission is not given to recompile, alter and/or redistribute any of the assets contained within the companion Ivy mod for Fallout 4, including, but not limited to the voice and lip files. Permission is not granted to host this distribution on any other website than Lover's Lab.

 

This custom companion incorporates a lot of dialogue which can be considered of a mature subject matter. Aside from the erotic dialogue which has been included, there are many mature themes of a psychological nature that can be considered shocking. These include themes of religion, artificial consciousness, madness, schizophrenia and other heavy subject matters, which for some can be considered controversial, shocking, perhaps even offensive. 
 

By using this custom companion you acknowledge that you understand this and that you are using this companion by your own free will and in a country/region where such subject matter is legal. If you disagree, I will refer you to Rule no.1 Posted below. If you have a particular disposition for schizophrenia (or other psychological disorders) it is recommended that you do not play computer games, in general, let alone use this companion.

 

As author I do not subscribe with any of Ivy's opinions, she is a character, completely made up and does not represent any person, real or imagined.

 

Rule No.1: If you think that this mod is sexist, rude, or in any other way offends you.... If erotic stories, pornographic literature, dirty talking and mature subject matters have shocked or confronted you in the past... then you should not download it, play it, or use it. This mod represents a companion/follower in the form of a completely fucked up raider-boss spliced with a sex bot. Her 'brain' is completely virtual. She was designed by a perverted and twisted scientist. She does not in any way represent real women, or how real women would speak, or how real women would act in real life. Any complaints will be quoted this rule for future reference. Should you have ignored this warning, played with Ivy and got to a mental state where you feel the need to comment in a negative way on what she says, or how she acts... DON'T. I don't care.. if you felt that need than you simply do not understand Ivy.. and she (and her subject matter) is not suitable for you.

She works very well with Liga of my Companions mod.
