A remake of my original Cherry companion mod. The original attempted to create a follower out of Cherry, but, sometimes the quest to take her to Rivet City will not trigger the necessary variables to complete it. It also doesn't help that the vanilla quest seems to be very non-responsive in some cases. This version of the mod utillises a seperate NPC for the follower once she reaches Rivet City. Refer to the technical section.

Cherry is a peculiar character that you can meet on your adventure. She has a bit of an attitude but that is understandable considering her lifestyle. The Lone Wanderer can convince her to leave Dukov's place and travel with you to Rivet City. This is either in the form of a simple speech check to ask her to leave or as part of You Gotta Shoot em In the Head where you convince her to steal Dukov's key in exchange for protection to Rivet City.
Once she is convinced she will become a temporary companion for a few days after which she will return to Dukov's place and the "quest" will fail.
While she previously served no further purpose once reaching Rivet City, this mod spawns a follower version of her, so nothing of value is lost.
This follower was built using my Blank Slate Companion template: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/86386
The follower is feature complete and no further updates are planned.
MOD FEATURES
- She will follow the player just like a normal companion anywhere you go after successfully accompanying her to Rivet City and entering the market place.
- She can wait, be dismissed (Including to L38), traded with and have her tactics be changed. Her companion wheel is also working.
- She has a companion perk, Cherry on Top, which grants + 1 Charisma.
- She has idle chatter tied to a timer so should say a line once every 10 - 20 minutes.
- Her home location can also be changed.
INCOMPATIBILITIES:
Anything that edits Cherry's appearance.
TECHNICAL:
Nothing was done to the original NPC, Quest or AI. If there are any issues with these items it is vanilla or another mod. If Cherry turns around when you reach Rivet city and speaking to her or just stands still, enter the marketplace and the follower will spawn. This issue was also present without the mod. The conditions were set up to spawn the follower when you enter the market place after Cherry reaches Rivet City.
When you enter the Rivet City Marketplace after you accompany her to Rivet City, the original NPC will despawn and the follower NPC will spawn. Since the Original NPC only said "Hi" and "goodbye" after reaching the city, nothing of value is lost with this mod.
