Edgerunners Lucy Companion Mod (NCLucy)

Meet Lucy in Night City, call her to join you, walk around together, talk, go out for dinner, and receive messages from her. Unlike static Lucy replacers, NCLucy lets you actually interact with her and gradually get to know her.

Huge thanks to [b]jcbrom[/b] for supporting the project on [url=https://www.patreon.com/cw/madryad]Patreon[/url] and enabling me to bring real voice acting to Lucy.

[b][color=#ffff00][size=4]Big update V 1.6[/size][/color][/b]
Various major bug-fixes as well as V's own voice lines were introduced.
Lucy can now sit at the dinner venues if AMM is installed, however, the position needs to be fine tuned. (I don't have much time for this but I added a video tutorial on how to use the seating sliders and I'm grateful for any help with this).

The mod is available in [b]English, 日本語, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Polski, Português (BR),Русский and 简体中文[/b]. Select your language in Esc -> Mods -> NCLives

[/list][color=#ffff00][size=4]Relationship progress[/size][/color]
Lucy doesn't immediately tell you everything about herself. At first, she'll keep things short and deflect personal questions. Spend time with her, take her to dinner, and earn her trust, and you'll gradually see a more personal side of her.

[/list]The Lucy character model, face, and outfits come from the Character - Edgerunners Lucy mod and must be installed separately.

A known issue is that Lucy doesn't sit on the chairs at the venues, this needs to be fixed in the next update.
In the meantime, you may use this tutorial in order to refine the seat positions manually:

[color=#ffff00][size=4]Notes and Compatibility [/size][/color]
Lucy is designed for open-world exploration and side jobs. Follower AI can occasionally struggle in tight interiors, ladders, or scripted sequences; dismissing and resummoning her via CET usually fixes this.
IF THERES A CONFLICT WITH NCALLIES TRY CHANGING THE INTERACTION KEY BINDING AWAY FROM [F]
Always test NPC-spawning mods on a backup save.
