Sunsnub Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 Hi Reginald_001, I have a question, I previously installed v3.2 back on the 5th of this month. I see there has been an update? I am curious what was changed, and if I should update? And if so do I not need a clean save, since I already have 3.2? Thanks,

Ok she is a Sexbot and not an Assaultron, but is it normal that a Mirelurk baby successfully ate a leg from her Power Armor and if I hadn't intervened would have probably won the fight. Piper without armor and an average pistol is a killing machine compared to Ivy. Aside from that annoying problems, I like the mod. Regards, Zurbaron yep, true & true. However, i do use AFT (i KNOW that it may or may not brake something with Ivy, so far, so goood With that mod infinite ammo works for sure. PA - Ivy does not like PA at all, as i understand from AFT scanninginfo. (eh, i hate that shaking screen anyway). + there actually is story behind it why she does not like PA. Sooo.. dont use PA Fighting - with even auto handgun she is way more "productive" they with single shot gun. I notice that when she hits target... there is no need for another bullet. (bloody impressive) Yet, "when she hits" may take some time and with slow handgun, like .44, quick moving mobs will swarm her. Also, special thanx to Reginald for ME1 deja-vue, that voice WAS surprising, truly 1

panthercom Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 I've just started this mod, and I'm enjoying it so far. Forgive me if you've already done this, but having Ivy ask the player if she still has milk in her breasts from nursing and telling the player what she would like to do about it would be funny/hot. Really nice attention to detail with the dialog, telling little 'stories' to turn on a female PC You should start a tip jar to raise funds to hire a voice actress, you could incrementally replace the artificially generated voice through a 'restoration' of Ivy's original files by adding a holotape with voice samples each time you replaced some more dialog. No quarrels with the way you've done the voice, though. It works.
mlaa Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 I wonder what happens if I bring her to that forbidden somewhere??? Can anyone spoiler me please?
rerun1983 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Apologies if the question has been asked before. Is Ivy compatible with Bodyslide? I've tried making a new body a couple of times to no avail. Even manual replacement of files appears not to work. I have tried reloading the game entirely and renaming files too.

Can anyone spoiler me please? i think (not sure tho) that what will happend in different locations depends how far u "open" Ivys story. Like Atomcats in my case, first i did simple bobblehead run and just quickly grab one from hood there, she dint say anything (or i just dint notice, was just running thru) Now, some time later i run out of lead and yes, Atomcats have nice amout there - so i casually went back, just to grab that equipment. Yet, by that time she allready told me what happend to his friend in PA. And now as we are close to the gate she suddenly suggest that it will be nice if we wipe that place clean... Heck! I kinda like those folks. So i keep my eye on her, quickly grab that equipment, and off we go. Maybe i got lucky, but she dint shoot anyone.... this time Next weird thing happend in Hallucigen. When we enter she was about to say something but... that conversation was cut shot since those cazy gunners start shooting at everything that move. So after lil cleanup we went down where you can find a lot of that green gas AND... Ivy freak out! Totally! She starts babbling something, shaking all over... and end up face down in mud... or gas. Now there was bug i think, coz, after some time, she told me that all is OK... but it was not She was deep into "carpet RPG" play (vanilla bug). OK. We went out, to breathe fresh air. And everything was normal again. After while, sitting outside, i decide that OK, lets try again. All went well, all lunatics in coffin, got whatever i was looking from there and thats it - no conversation what happend inside first time. Third time, after what i keep spare vacum tube in my bag (just in case), she almost brake down at Hugos hole. I was busy clearing traps, dodging bullets from that f***g turret + galore radiation... pfft. OK, after a while, all was quiet... and so was Ivy. She was just "hanging" there, shaking, making awful metallic noise. Add to that, fact, that just short time before she was talking to me with Reaper (ME) voice.. I was worried. But after a minute and reboot. She smile again, like nothing happend and told me her fantasy about duct tape use... So yeah, she is great companion! What may happend in future... who knows, well see 1

thesimpsonsguy Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 While listening to one of Ivy's stories, I thought it'd be interesting if she's actually met kellogg before, but just doesn't remember. The whole stranger saving the family and giving the little boy the custom made hand canon to protect his family just as his mother gave him a hand cannon to protect him and her. Guess it wouldn't be a stretch, with kellogg deciding to actually stop and help a family since he feels he failed to protect everyone who's ever been family to him. I don't know of any other NPCs in Fallout who seem to favor hand cannons, so just thought it was an interesting idea. 4

Though I do see times in her dialogue that deborah isn't completely gone. Some of her thoughts, questions and actions and some of the things she says about constantly fighting to keep darkness at bay telling enemies to feed on her darkness. Someone as strong willed and stubborn as Deborah wouldn't be quieted or completely eradicated so easily. Got the feeling she's actually fighting to regain control.

Someone as strong willed and stubborn as Deborah wouldn't be quieted or completely eradicated so easily. Got the feeling she's actually fighting to regain control. It also seems that Ivy harbors a particular resentment of raiders. Maybe a subconscious of Deborah's feelings since raiders are responsible for her family's demise despite her becoming one herself. Also wondered if the good parts of Ivy's personality is what Deborah's may have been if she were aloud to live a life free of raider influence. I always figured that the 'robobrain' of Deborah is coupled in symbiosis with the (perverse) programming of Doctor Stein. The A.I. and the biological brain are constantly fighting for control. That comes out in the glitches, or when Ivy stops herself from speaking or remembering certain things. That's usually when Dr. Steins safeguards are active. And about that raider stuff, yeah all of that is in there. 1
thesimpsonsguy Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Hmmm, what would she do if she were to find out that DR.Stien wasn't actually dead, but still alive and well in the Commonwealth ? I don't know if she has any bad feelings towards him, but I know she has a lot of questions. And what would she do after she were to get those answers from him ? 1
codydudetm Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Is there a way to make this mod compatible with the Crimes Against Nature mod? I've been trying to get Ivy to use MLP Pony textures but I don't know how to have them applied on custom followers (sorry if this ain't yer cup of tea).
DominusKaine Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Off-topic (sorta) IMO, Kellogg got a bum deal with the Institute. In nearly every recordable instance we've witnessed how he's been a product of his environment. It's almost on the nose that he grew up in a broken home with an abusive father figure and then he, himself, nearly perpetuates the cycle. He is, without doubt, a truly interesting character trying to survive in a world not of his choosing, but all the while trying to maintain some sense of "control" over his own life. His humanity is symbolically and systematically replaced with Institute tech, and he becomes nothing more than a tool for the big bad Institute. Father/Shaun even claims as much during our own interactions with him as the main story plays out. Having said that, can one really blame the monster for being a monster when that monster was "created" by our own fallibility of our own perceived superiority (a.k.a. Institute mentality)? I rather like @Reginald_001's take on Kellogg as the Deborah's "saviour" whom we now know as IVY. In a way, we get to indirectly experience his diminishing humanity before he got swallowed up by the Institute. As much as Bethesda has engineered us into "hating" Kellogg for killing our spouse, I can't help but feel a bit sad for him at the same time. And don't forget that IVY is Dr. Stein's "monster" as much as Kellogg was the Institute's. Kind of ironic since Dr. Stein is from the Institute as well. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree there, yea? Anyways, sorry for the rant/rambling. Unless there is an IVY "Deluxe" edition, this one will be my all-time favourite companion. I know Reginald has dabbled in some more lore-based modding earlier which I haven't had time to check out yet but probably will sooner rather than later. Thanks again, Reginald. And now back to your regularly scheduled channel discussion... ...If Joe's in the mix with some IVY development, I can't wait for the next update! 3
Guest Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Sorry friend. Ive got no hand in anything other than RSE and AAF.

And here I was thinking you had some insider knowledge. "Yooo dirty bastard!" Haha. Seriously though, love all your work on RSE and your contribution to the community. I haven't switched over to AAF yet, but it appears things are happening by leaps and bounds over there, and I KNOW you're a part of that!
Sunsnub Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 8 hours ago, Flashy (JoeR) said: Power Armor. Duh... gottchya thanks. I do have another question for anyone out there. Ivy becomes naked sometimes after I sleep, and she doesn't re-equip her cloths. Is there a way to get her to dress?
Rampdog Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 It's a no-go for me. I installed on a new game and set her in the load order per the instructions. "Redeem Ivy" and the radio station show up in the Pip-Boy, but no sound from the radio and no Ivy at the Sanctuary workstation. I moved the mod to the top of my load order right below ESM. No help. The same thing. No radio, no Ivy.
