Hi, I got a bug that "Ivy goes to Nuka World" quest never triggers, when I use "ShowQuestStages _Ivy_NukaWorldQuest" it shows as Stopped, any idea how to force the quest to start?

Thank you very much for the creation of Ivy that has given me lots of hours of entertainment. I have a few philosophical notions that I would like to express. Ivy asks time and time again: “Why are we not rebuilding?” Apparently she wants to regain a semblance of the world that existed before the bombs fell. My question is “Why?” Obviously this blends well with the undercurrent of Sim Settlement. So far so good. People tend to idolise things that they think they have lost. What would happen if this world was rebuilt? Have the FBI and the CIA, Homeland Security and the Swamp rule supreme again? Preparing for war with China 2.0? It might be more interesting to explore alternatives. What about having a completely de centralised world where it is the main interest of peoples to fight hegemonic schemes? A world of chaos might be a preferable option. Maybe Ivy can pick up this idea?

These are things for you to ponder about indeed!

Make 2 manual saves.

Disable the CompanionIvy_Nuka.esp and load your game, ignore the warning.

Make another new manual save.

Exit fallout and enable CompanionIvy_Nuka.esp again.

Now walk with Ivy to a new area, she should start the quest (unless you altered global variables or quest stages in your earlier attempts to fix it).

 

This happens when her chat about Nukaworld is cut off, which most often happens because of combat, or the player initiating dialog just as the chat is supposed to kick off (which then cancels the chat so the quest can never properly start and the scripts can't properly start either).

Check if you have any clothing mods, or other mods, installed that alter her size to be smaller. Exclude her from those mods.

That was the issue haha! Thanks a lot. I had a mod that altered the size of NPCs and this was the issue. Thanks again for taking the time to reply and for the amazing mod!

Thank you for responding. I'm not altered the quest stages of the _Ivy_NukaWorldQuest fortunately, but I did what you suggested and Ivy won't talk about Nuka World even when I'm near the transit, or in the Nuka World area

Less than fifteen hours to go.....     Even though I'm nowhere near Far Harbor in my current playthrough.

Hey, I've got an issue with XDI. I saw she doesn't need a patch anymore, so didn't install that, but I'm struggling with her Erotic Services menu. Everything in that just has the "Yeah" dialogue shown, so I can't see what they're meant to be, like which is flirt or ask her things under there. Is there anything I can do about that, or am I just stuck on guesswork?

[Reginald_001]

it's Christmas. Let's share in our joy.

**Space Vault 14 & The Pelican Conundrum** is now released.

 

**IMPORTANT**
Even though this has been tested hundreds of times, things might still pop up once released to a wider audience. Make a few manual saves of your current save game to keep it secure. If the worst happens and a patch needs to be released to fix something, you can always restart from there. Of course, I am assuming with the insane amount of tests I did, that all will be fine. 

 

IMPORTANT TOO:

Thank you Reginald and Merry Christmas!

 

 

BTW, I just got the "thank you from my Creator" dialogue last night for 250 interactions so far.  Auspicious timing for sure.

Best regards to Kitten.... Bah, to Reg too. Merry days to ya all and HNY :))

There seems to be animation files in the CompanionIvy_SpaceVault\Sound\Voice\companionIvy_Coast.esp\_NPC_IVY folder

Or it might be the tools I'm using for archival, but BAE, CAO and Archive2 all seem to place .hkx files in that particular folder.

 

If it isn't that way for you could you let me know so I can try to find where I'm going wrong?

 

Sorry to bother you and Happy Holidays!

Yes those are the custom animation files for her dialog.

They belong there instead of the meshes folders?

Hey all,

 

Ivy is not commenting on any of the magazines that I pick up in the magazine addon (as she's done in previous installations). I've tried all the options in the holotape, even tried disabling/enabling the commentary option, and nothing has helped.  Anyone have any suggestions?

That is weird. Do yo have any other followers with you? Nothing changed in the magazine addon. If you installed the Far Harbor addon, make sure it's placed after all of Ivy's other plugins.

Using your multi-follower mod + dogmeat as friend, so right now it's Piper, Ivy (in slot 2), Dogmeat and Heather Casdin. I got the Bobblehead, and Ivy commented on that. I had the FH mod after this one, moved it below so I'll give that a shot.

So order now is Ivy-Nuka-mag-Spacevault, at bottom of load order in MO2. Did the reset with the magazine holo-tape, did a soft reset of Ivy with the NCX holotape. She still doesn't respond when I pick up a magazine. She does however respond when I drop one, but it's to let me know we'll discuss later because there are enemies around (even if there aren't - did this in a cleared area, did this in a safe settlement - same response). 

Must be some weird mod conflict, but just can't figure our which ...

Ivy should be Slot 1 - you recruit her as normal, then recruit Piper using the RAM-FM holotape. Ivy should always be the primary companion. If you recruited her with the holotape, then you broke something.

IBAGadget has it right. Ivy needs to be the prime companion for her to work properly.

you are correct - forgot the order of doing things with the multi-follower mod.

Dismissed Ivy with the holotape, dismissed Piper, rehired Ivy normally and then Piper with the holotape and everything is working as it should. Thanks!

Hi, 
I can't find or reach her in a regular RP way.
That radio starter seems to do nothing even when I cheat for the location and go near her cave, nothing happens, and the door is impossible to open even if it shows a "novice" difficulty level and me being level 60.
(I was abke to get to her through the console, but I'm sure it's not the way you imagined.)
Is that because I already have a companion?

Hallo,
Ich kann sie auf herkömmlichem Wege im Rollenspiel weder finden noch erreichen.
Der Radiostarter scheint nichts zu bewirken, selbst wenn ich den Standort per Cheat ermittle und mich ihrer Höhle nähere, passiert nichts, und die Tür lässt sich nicht öffnen, obwohl der Schwierigkeitsgrad als "Anfänger" angezeigt wird und ich Level 60 bin.
(Ich konnte sie über die Konsole erreichen, aber ich bin sicher, es ist nicht so, wie du es dir vorgestellt hast.)
Liegt das daran, dass ich bereits einen Begleiter habe?

 

Or is it because they didn't start a new game after installing the Ivy mod?
