How to play Fallout: London

As a seasoned movie buff and avid gamer with a soft spot for post-apocalyptic worlds, I couldn’t contain my excitement when Team FOLON finally released their long-awaited Fallout: London mod! Having spent countless hours exploring the wastelands of Fallout 4 on Steam, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this expansion that brings the series closer to home.

After much anticipation, Team FOLON has released their “DLC-equivalent” Fallout 4 modification – Fallout: London. Here’s a simple guide on how to experience it without missing a step.

Previously hindered by the next-gen mod for Fallout 4, Team FOLON collaborated with GOG (run by CD Projekt RED, creators of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077) to make the mod installer accessible on GOG Galaxy.

As a movie reviewer, I’d say this: When it comes to downloading a game from GOG, the process is straightforward – your copy will be downgraded automatically, and the mod installation requires no extra effort. On the other hand, if you opt for Steam, be prepared for a few more hurdles to clear before enjoying your modded experience.

If you’re craving more post-apocalyptic entertainment following the Fallout TV series, Fallout: London is certain to deliver.

I’m excitedly anticipating the new project from Team FOLON, as they lead me through the post-apocalyptic ruins of once-great Britain. The radioactivity may have left Ol’ Blighty a shadow of its former self, but I can’t wait to discover what hidden gems and unexpected twists Team FOLON has in store for us in this intriguing adventure.

But we’ve waited long enough, so we won’t keep you a moment more. Read on!

You have two options to access Fallout: London. If you’ve purchased the Game of the Year edition of Fallout 4 on GOG Galaxy through GOG.com, then you can simply download the mod from their website. Alternatively, if you own Fallout 4 on Steam and wish to use it, you’ll need to manually download an older version of the game and install the mod manually.

On the Fallout: London GOG page, it has the following instructions:

Install the English version of Fallout 4: GOTY Edition via GOG GALAXY and disable your cloud saves.
Get Fallout London in our store for free.
Install Fallout London via GOG GALAXY and launch it.
Follow the launcher’s instructions, and enjoy!

As a long-time user of both GOG and Steam, I can confidently say that the process for adding games to my library on GOG is a breeze. However, when it comes to Steam, I’ve learned through experience that things aren’t quite as simple.

How to install Fallout: London on Steam

If you possess Fallout 4 on Steam, you’ll need to lower your game version to 1.10.163.0 by downgrading your Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, and then acquire Fallout: London from GOG. After downloading the installer, position it within your Steam library for running.

Based on my own experience, I strongly recommend disabling cloud saves before proceeding with the following steps. Trust me, I’ve made the mistake of neglecting this important precaution once, and the consequences were not pretty. It may seem like an unnecessary added step, but trust me, it’s a crucial one that could save you from potential data loss or corruption. So, before you dive into the instructions, take a moment to disable cloud saves in your game or application settings. I promise you’ll breathe a sigh of relief knowing that your valuable progress is safely stored on your local device.

With Team FOLON’s Fallout London Downgrader and Addons available on Nexus mods, you can easily reduce the quality settings in Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition. This modification not only downgrades the game but also offers extra features that enhance your gaming experience.

After downloading Fallout: London from GOG, unzip the file and move it to the Steam Fallout 4: GOTY folder for installation. (This paraphrases “run the installer and set the installation location” as “unzip the file and move it for installation”)

This is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4.

Then that should be you ready to go!

Is Fallout: London on Xbox or PlayStation?

No, Fallout: London is not on Xbox or PlayStation.

Regrettably, you cannot reduce the version of Fallout 4 on Xbox or PlayStation to run Fallout: London. The Fallout 4 update for newer generations proved to be quite challenging to bypass, necessitating the need for the latest Fallout 4 installation.

As a film enthusiast, I’d put it this way: To move forward with our project at Team FOLON, we need to either reach an understanding with Bethesda directly or find a workaround for the next-gen patch predicament.

Should this event transpire, I’ll keep you informed right away. Thankfully, Fallout 4 is quite forgiving in terms of system requirements, so if you own a Steam Deck or a less powerful PC, you might just be able to run it. You can even grab an affordable copy from CDkeys.
