No, there is nothing needed in the safe, She just makes a comment if you do it. But there will be nothing missed in the game.

IIRC the mag in the safe starts the magazine quest?? may be just a coincidence on my end?

It's coincidence.

There isn't a guaranteed mag in the safe, and the quest starts after you've collected a certain number of them.

Sorry, bishlapped, but FO4Edit tells different: Blow Job! is a guaranteed found in that safe, and the safe is the only place where this exact copy can be found. however, there are other versions of Blow Job! around …
FormID is xx00AA51.
the other content includes

Spoiler

a pack of Cram, a Gold Watch, some .44 ammo and a .44 Short Scope.

You are correct on that. I did confirm it in CK.

I was going off the last time I opened the safe and got nothing. SO something must have been wrong in my game.

Oh well, I guess I will keep playing for now, because Ivy 6 is coming soon (I guess?), so I will start a new game when the new version comes out and this time, I think I will go with just Ivy alone as companion, because at this point I think it's pretty safe to say that when you have Ivy, you don't need anyone else lol

However, the root cellar isn't Ivy's place in v6 anymore, so you can safely use any other mod that places its things there. ?

Ivy, wherever you may be, this song is for you... ?

Nice! Who's voicing so good? What is this new room in NW? I'm intrigued and thinking about installing FO4 again.

thank you for the quick reply and info  i'll take a look at his multi follower over haul for my next run.  (don't really wanna abandon my current run lol)
question though. what's the mod Reginald made called?

 

It worked fine with Liga half a year ago or so, which is one of my default mods. I've played this game so many times, so cannot have companions one by one. I was normally completing the game much faster. I had Liga, Ivy 5.3, Ellen, Fourthville and Tales at that time, and had 3-4 companions in my party at a time. More companions becomes really crowded. I've started Ivy from the bery beginning and finished all the quests and entire story without a problem.

Having real problems with Ivy getting stuck in places in Diamond city, anybody run into this issue?

 

*edit* I have managed to get her out of the city but she refuses to follow me anywhere even though she is my companion. I can point and click to make her move but nothing I do will get her to follow or teleport to me. When I do the basic conversation start up and select "Follow" she says nothing but all other converstaion works. No idea what is going on here, may have to go all the way back to before going into DC and just go without her.

 

oh also, when dismissed or another sidekick is taken she will not go back to wherever you send her, just sits in the middle of nowhere.

@Reginald_001 I wouldn't actually be that opposed in showing my support in a monetary manner.

Love your mod and can't wait for the next the release.

 

Trolls and A-holes suck.

How is Ivy best experienced, with a male or female PC?

I play with a male character, she's a perfect companion for males, not sure about female players though, I never tried, but she has a lot of references to your d. when you talk to her as a male, would she have different lines if you were a female? I don't know. Then again, some mods add d. to females, even female player, so I guess it all depends on the way you like to play it. ?

Ivy has gender appropriate dialogue for both sexes ; )

Cool, I think I will eventually play a female character just to hear what Ivy tells to women. ?

I think Ivy is locked in a "waiting for a dialogue response" mode. But you can't see it because (I'm guessing here) you have (or have had previously in this save) AFT and or XDI installed.

Hi Reginald...

Been meaning to write and complement you on this fantastic creation for awhile now... so here it goes... Mate, this is utterly fantastic, just brilliant.

 

First off, Ive been playing peoples creative mods for about 10 years now, quest mods are awesome, they excel the overall game, but I think companion mods get overlooked quite often and to be honest, they're harder to make.

 

They have to connect with the player audience, either by using humor or a story the player can get behind, also in a very short window after being introduced to the player character. They have to be engaging, interesting, so the player agrees to drag them along there playthrough. And not to mention the dialogue that has to be written for a single npc... dude, you've managed to make something uniquely brilliant that hooks you in from the start.

Personally, my favorite companion mod was FONewVegas Russell by Someguy2000, how the author managed to merge all his other mods and made Russell just fit into the Bounties series, aswell as the vanilla game, it just worked... I think you've done something similar here, environmental comments and dialogue that makes Ivy feel that she belongs. Ivy is a themed companion.

The voice acting, well, electronic dialogue is a little jarring at first, but then the story quest kicks in, of why, when, who did this to Ivy... who was Ivy before... the mystery... plus with the humor that surfaces and erupts, you kind of forget about it after awhile.

 

As of right now, I got as far as her subconscious quest and met King Pelican, wont give anything away story wise, but I loved how it played out. But sadly... after seeing, hearing about 2-3 weeks ago, Ivy 6.0, Ive stopped all gaming with FO4 lol, cause seriously, why wouldn't anyone want to play, an adventure with Ivy who is fully voiced, plus it would require a new playthrough... so I can guarantee, when released, and if released on the nexus, and loverslab, servers will go down... infact, you'll break the internet lol, your creation is that good, and people love it.

 

I am playing this with XDI, and haven't had any issues, and I do have a multi companion mod, not AFT, but limit it to Dogmeat and another, mostly Ivy. No dramas, or issues as far as I know. 

 

I did read afew pages back, about some people bringing Ivy down or trying to get you banned for no reason at all, I say and most people would say, to hell with em. This companion mod sits and rubs with greats, Russell, Vanessa, Heather, M'rissi, and now the great Ivy...

 

Again, top marks for your work and the creative design, awesome dude...

small glitch, fixed now, nothing to see here.

 Woah!, Ivy smashes all of those!, the only ones that are even in contention are modded Serana and Inigo !

Hmmm I'd Say Sofia Above Serena,, Sofia is Mad and Drunk alot lol,, Also Vanessa From FONV,, God she would screw you ANYWHERE.

BUT,, Ivy is a completely different companion. I'd put her just above Both Sofia and Vanessa, though With Vanessa you got a full +18 show with either sex.

[Dreamer1986]

Did Reginald mention when he plans to release Ivy 6 somewhere in the thread? I have my install ready to go just waiting for Ivy, and an approximate date would have been nice to stop checking the mod page all the time  .
