The menu freeze issue happened to me with 10 vanilla NPC's. It made the game almost unplayable (less trade options), and it broke the Wasteland Survival Guide quest because I couldn't talk to Moira anymore. However, I have found a solution for this problem and I will post it here because there is a chance that this will also work with this Jessi mod.
Solution:
- Open the console. - Click on the NPC and remember his/her RefID. - Close the console. - Talk to the NPC, the dialog will freeze. - Open the console again. - Type "prid RefID", this selects the NPC. - Type "openteammatecontainer 1". This brings up the NPC's inventory. - Close the inventory. - Now the dialog shows up, exit the dialog box. - Talk to the NPC, he/she will talk back now, and you can trade etc.
Jessi was originally intended to be downloaded and installed manually, so if you are using a mod manager to do it for you, you are probably lacking access to, or just unaware of all of the options that are included in the file archive. The main archive contains a folder called Optional Hair Styles (amongst several other Optional files) which contains a few alternate hairs as well as a text file giving you the instructions on how to change Jessi's hair (Installing New Hair.txt). Check you Fallout 3 Data folder for any of Jessi's optional files to see if your mod manager has installed them or not. If not, then manually download the archive and extract its contents with 7zip or something similar. Once you have done that, look through the contents for the Optional Hair Styles folder then the text file in there. I admit that it would be easier if Loxy38 had scripted Jessi to be able to change her hair style in game, but here we are.
For an old mod, I'm surprised it hasn't been voiced as of yet. Or someone has attempted to remake it. For both FO3 and FNV. With FNV having nods of her past in the DC wasteland years ago.
There will not be any TTW support from the author, Loxy38, as he has been absent from the mod for years. I would either check the TTW site and see if there is a converted version there, or, if not, follow the intructions provided by the site to do it yourself. If you plan on starting in the Mojave you could just use the New Vegas version of Jessi. JimboUK posted the link for it in the post right before yours.
I added Kill-able Children to the game in GECK I changed their AI to Frenzy and Foolhardy with weapons.This would be balanced by equally frenzied Followers who would blow them away without consequences. To me all the explosives ingame are kind of pathetic, so I upgraded everything 10x for grenades/mines/rockets/ibots/ 15 for vehicles 30 to buses, Fatman launcher 50x that Jessi fired off inside the Hanger. Fortunately, I set my PC to Essential so that the game would not stop. This way I could just 'Resurrect 1' my thoroughly dismembered PC, leave the cell, save and reload last save to get my body back. The trick is to reach Jessi before she fires off the nuke! I think that Follower mods should be placed in locations closer to 101 as Players tend to wander off the beaten path. It could take several weeks before the Player to start the Main quest that lead to Rivet City.
You did what!? Holy cow, that has to be an absolutely chaotic game at times! XD I have no idea why Loxy put Jessi in Rivet City and make her home in Minefield, unless the idea was to help promote exploring the map. If you are following the Main Quest, it would take a while to get to RC, especially if you pick up the side quests along the way. Given how Jessi has a slave collar on when you first meet her, I keep wanting to move her starting point to Paradise Falls, and modify Kelsey (Jessi's sister) to ask the Lone Wanderer for help getting her back.
I also modified the blast wave to equal proportions. I am bored with being the exclusive target in the game, so I used Abandon Shack as the last land mod in the list to alter the conditions in the game world to make it more dynamic. I spent 2hr setting all monsters/robots/villains to Frenzy and Foolhardy including Brotherhood Outcasts and Enclave. Now there are battles and random explosions everywhere! A dog attacked an Ibot at SD Mart. The Ibot took out the cars which took out the bus that I was standing on. The explosion was a spectacular white out and my head ended up near Springvale! I did this in all FO games, Skyrim and Oblivion. You should try it yourself.
It just discovered that there are 2 Jessi mods, I am using the Updated one. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19904?tab=description I would like to add Kelsey but the folders is convoluted mess. Since the Author took a hike in October, I wish some one would just assemble and upload a Basic Kelsey. You can add Jasmine, Jessi and Vanessa to Character creation as they have their own Race [Playable and Follower [Chargen], Kelsey might have a Race. Set them Essential and Resurrect 1 or you will loose progress.
There is also this version as well: BEWARE OF GIRLized Jessi Companion That one is the only version that I am aware of, that has mod requirements to use, which are listed on the main page.
Looks like Black Blossom is a fan of Marilyn Manson.
I decided to go add Kayla mod who can be found just below 101. You can change her AI disposition from Cowardly to Frenzy and Foolhardy ie, Kill Everything! Kayla will show up in Character Generation including her Na'Vi Style Drealocks. Jasmine, Jessi, Kayla and Vanessa, now I have my version of Charlie's Angels!
It is important to download file[s] manually then examine them as Authors tend to miss place files'n folders plus add Data which will create another "Data" folder inside Data. With multiple folders, copy/paste chosen files into one primary folder, 7z it, install from that and STORE the downloads. Note I use NMM 56.2 and 65.3 for Skyrim
