Fallout: London releases today!

  • Comment
Grab your cricket bat and don your flat cap because it's time to explore a new post-nuclear city in Fallout: London. The expansive new mod takes players to Old Blighty in the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4. You can download the mod for free on GOG and it's compatible with both the GOG and Steam versions of Fallout 4 GOTY. 

With the Nexus Mods offices in the UK, we've kept a keen eye on the development of the Fallout: London project over the last few years. We featured it on the site news back in 2022. We've always wondered how the UK would've fared in The Great War of the Fallout universe and the time has finally come to find out! 

Please join us in congratulating the Fallout: London team on this monumental release. It's rare for a mod of this scale to make it to completion! 


What is Fallout: London?

If you've never heard of it before, here's a brief description of the mod:

Fallout: London is an ambitious, trail-blazing DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4, Bethesda Game Studios’ 2015 post-apocalyptic RPG. Fallout: London stands apart from its contemporaries and offers an entirely new experience: setting a Fallout game outside of the United States. True to its moniker, Fallout: London takes place IN London. From stuffy parliamentary aristocrats to a resurrection of the Knights of the Round Table to an uncompromising cult of revolutionaries (and more!), Fallout: London embodies the history and aesthetics of London and puts an unmistakably nuclear spin on the beloved city.

You can learn more on the official website or GOG store page. 



How do I download Fallout: London? 

The mod can be downloaded for free from GOG. We recommend downloading using GOG Galaxy. You can quickly open the page in Galaxy by copying and pasting the link below into your browser.

goggalaxy://openStoreUrl/embed.gog.com/game/fallout_london



Once downloaded, you should ensure that you also have Fallout 4 version 1.10.163.0 - the last version before the Next Gen update - and all DLCs installed. We recommend getting Fallout 4 on GOG.com for the smoothest experience, however, if you prefer to play on Steam the Fallout: London team has provided a downgrade tool or you can follow this guide

Get Fallout: London from GOG.com

With the Fallout: London files downloaded and the correct version of Fallout 4 installed, run Fallout: London from GOG Galaxy to start the installation process. 

Caution: At the time of writing, the Fallout: London installer does not feature an option to uninstall the mod. To play the base version of Fallout 4 you will need to disable the Fallout: London plugins in your load order and delete the script at Data\Scripts\Fragments\Quests\QF_MQ101_0001ED86.pex.


Why is Fallout: London not hosted on Nexus Mods?

It might seem odd that this mod is on GOG.com instead of Nexus Mods. You can read more about this decision on the Fallout 4 forums

We are currently evaluating if we are going to offer support for Fallout: London in Vortex. As it currently overwrites your Fallout 4 installation it's presenting some unique challenges to set up. For now, if you install the mod into Fallout 4, you can continue to use the Fallout 4 support to manage any additional mods you want to add. 

You can also browse and upload mods for Fallout: London itself in the dedicated game section

Fallout 4 modders can also add the Works with Fallout London tag to their mod and it'll show up in the filtered mod list.

    This method will work until Vortex gets an update.  Using Vortex, switch to a blank unmodded profile.  Download the FOLN to a temp file.  Zip up the contents of said temp file.  Add it to Vortex.  Choose the "unpack as is" option.  Choose mod type "engine injector" and deploy. 

    Remember to use the ini files that come with FOLN.  After you download the mod to the temp file, they are located  in the "__Config" folder.  Copy them to your \Documents\My Games\Fallout4 folder.  Remember to backup your original inis before you copy over them.  You will need them if you switch profiles or uninstall FOLN.

    It takes a while to install, but it does work and is easy to revert to your original profile, if you want.  I was able to start the game and get past character creation.  You can delete the temp folder once FOLN is added to Vortex to save some disk space.  Will play further tonight.   I assume MO2 has similar capability.

      I did this already, just chiming in to add that the resultant archive is 29GB:) And to ask...Vortex has an ini editor extension that should cope with the provided inis with a new profile, to what extent is it necessary to overwrite the files in \AppData\Roaming\Vortex\fallout4\profiles\xxxxxxxx\ ?

      diziet
    3. Just tried this method twice & I'm obviously doing something wrong because when I click play (via the F4SE launcher) I get the default Fallout 4 music & menu but with the Fallout London intro video in the background. Then when I then click 'New Game' I get an infinite loading glitch.

      I'll explain what I've done so far & hopefully someone can tell me what I've been doing wrong 😅

      So I start by zipping up the 'Data' folder from the Fallout London install folder, as per the instructions on Team FOLON's website. I then take the zip file & drop it into Vortex & wait for it to import. Once that's done I select 'unpack as is' then double click the new mod to change the 'mod type' to 'engine injector' & then deploy. Finally I replace my current ini files with the ini files included with the mod. I have also checked plugins & I have 3, 'LondonWorldSpace.esm', 'LondonWorldSpace-DLCBlock.esp', & 'BakaFramework.esm', all enabled. 

      If possible I'd really like to get the mod working via this method as the alternative will likely lead to more headaches for me in the future. Thanks in advance 😄

      The inis that come with FOLN need to be used.  Somehow the games still reading your old inis.  They should be placed into your documents/my games FO4 folder.  I am not at my pc but that is roughly the location.  Remember to backup your original inis first.
    5. I did replace the ini files in 'Documents\My Games\Fallout4' with Fallout London's ini files so I'm unsure why my game wouldn't recognise this 🤔
      I'll try replacing them again & see if this changes anything. Thanks for the reply, hopefully myself & others we'll get this mod working soon 😄

      i'm not getting an "unpack as is" option when i add it to Vortex. 


      Update: i got into the game. When i tried it as "engine injector" and deployed, the game started up as normal fo4. When i didn't do either, the game played fine into the into, but character creation, and everything after, was regular fo4. So i chaged the mod to "engine injector", but i did not deploy. So the mod files stayed in the games data folder. That seems to have worked, cause i got to londons character creation.

      After adding it to Vortex, right click on the mod.  It’s one of the options.  It needs be “uninstalled “ status first.

      If you mean a Vortex update, no need.  You can already install with Vortex as I explained above.
    10. Managed to get Fallout London working last night thanks to you, cheers! I forget that I'd used the BethINI Tool in the past & there were some left over files which conflicted with FL's ini files. Once I removed them & added FL's the mod worked like a charm 😁

      Thanks again for your help, have fun in Old Blighty! 😄

      When in uninstalled status it doesn't show in Vortex since it was installed from my hard drive and not the site. Any suggestions as to how to get it unpacked as is? Should I just drop the downloaded folder into vortex's staging folder?

      I've got a slightly different install method.

      1) After extracting the mod files with the installer, to somewhere OTHER than your Fallout 4 game directory, navigate to the Data directory:

      [Installed_location]\Fallout London\Data

      Once inside that folder, select all items, and then zip them up into an archive. This allows Vortex to handle the archive like any other mod; no special settings are required. Once zipped, rename the archive to something meaningful.

      2) Drag the archive over the Drop Files section in Vortex, and allow Vortex to install it, but not to enable it.

      3) Go to Vortex's Profile page, and note the ID of the profile you want to use. Ensure that this profile is NOT currently enabled.

      4) Opened the appropriate profile folder found (on my Win10 box) here:

      C:\Users\[User_name]\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\fallout4\profiles

      5) Copy the INI files from

      [Installed location]\Fallout London\__Config

      and paste them into the profile folder, overwriting those already there.


      Fallout London is now ready to enable in the desired profile and play. Because FOLON is installed like any other mod, it's now possible to change back and forth between profiles.

      Caveat:

      This does assume that the user already has F4SE already installed, but as F4SE is integral to so many mods these days, and so easy to install, I'm prepared to make that assumption.

      Well that's interesting.  Before I read this, I created a new profile, disabled my my FO4 mods, pointed Vortex at Fallout London (which is the gog galaxy/games directory) and then named it to Fallout London.  Has worked fine, including mods that I have downloaded specifically for it.

      Very straight forward way. It worked with no problem of course I had never the need to downgrade Fallout 4 as I never allowed Steam to update Beth games. Too much effort and drama when Beth releases a new update only to mess up with your mods.

    So wait....in order to use and play this, I have to DOWNGRADE Fallout 4, 
    Like Basically like downgrading the latest version of Skyrim AE, down to 1.5.97 in order to use this Mod for FO4?

    If so, then it's a huge "LOL, Nope" from me.

      You could always, if you have a little spare cash, buy the GOG version of the game, and then research how to simultaneously maintain the two copies....which makes the entire process MUCH more simple.
      I bought GOG FO4 when it was first released there, but even had I not, that would be my plan. As to "downgrading"...from everything I have read, reverting to the previous version is actually an upgrade. By all accounts, "Next Gen" is a bug-ridden mess.

      same, I'm very interested in playing so im going to manually do it. if you wanna use the auto installer you have to disable steam guard with is basically steams 2factor authorizer and im not going to jeopardize my games just for one mod. so far it reminds me of the good old days of skyrim modding so its okay.

      Tbh. It's very unlikely at this point. Modding Fallout 4 is pretty much just gonna always require the down grade. Bethesda has shown no signs of fixing the next gen update. It's overall just a more buggy version of the previous version that was already extremely buggy. 

      There are already a lot of tools that have been abandoned for Fallout 4 and now a lot of mod creators are just opting to not support next gen. It's not worth the hassle. Basically going through the same thing Skyrim did a few years ago. Skyrim even has like 3 different versions now that modpacks are made for.

      Maybe they can work out an Enderal deal but that's also unlikely. Most of the people that approved that don't work at Bethesda anymore and it wouldn't really be Bethesda that would need to approve it. It would be Microsoft now. It also took years for even Bethesda to approve a standalone Enderal. They needed to pass a standard bar of quality that not even Bethesda is able to pass with their own games. That's why Enderal is such a tight and well made package now but it took years after it released. It's probably the least buggy game made with the Creation Engine.

      @originalwastoolong

      I remember them saying they were initially going to delay it from their intended release date of April for the NG update, but it's understandable why they didn't make a compatible version right away. Not sure if they're going to make a version for NG, but would be cool

      @DudeInTheBlack

      If so, unfortunate. I have stopped playing Fallout 4 a long time ago but even now, I don't like downgrading. Same for Skyrim actually, thankfully it has the strongest modding community on the nexus so updates for abandoned mods are always sooner than later

      Then again, I keep modding Skyrim more than I play it :P

      The thing is FO4 "Next Gen" isn't Next Gen at all - the Skyrim SE one truly was "Next Gen" at release, eg, going from 32 to 64 bit etc. So it was understandable that modders would have a new heyday with SE. Plus, Skyrim SE came out 4 (and a half) years after the original Skyrim, so interest in the game was still pretty fresh. But for FO4 all Beth did for PC players was - nearly 8 years later (and 6 years after FO76) - add some crappy CC content (and one mini quest to fit some of them in) to a now relatively older game, belatedly fix ridiculously few of the many bugs (and ones which few players had heard of or since worked around), and needlessly change the archives (and other minor tweaks) which breaks a bunch of mods. I'm not saying some won't like some of those changes to FO4, but calling it "Next Gen" is just a huge marketing lie... And so anyways, for all those reasons there won't be a modding goldrush/rebirth like there was for Skyrim SE - and not least because many players and modders are now on the GOG DRM-free "Old Gen" version.

    I was kinda hoping this wouldn't see the light of day. Fallout is hardly Fallout without that "America, f*#@ yeah!" subtext in every other thing.
    Besides, it'll just remind the foreign horde that Britain exists -- and they'll start screaming about tea and cockneys again. Which is spam I could live without.

      Imagine a Fallout game or overhaul (preferably overhaul) in Tokyo or Berlin.
      For a matter of fact, it seems to work even better, as the whole idiotic Marvel like pseudo-comedy is thrown out the window. Also, I would change Berlin for Munich or Rome. Berlin is already real life Fallout.

      I was kinda hoping your comment wouldn't see the light of day. You must be one of those "Only played Fallout since the 3D Universe"-kids.

      In the Fallout lore Europe still exists. Accept it. If you cannot accept it, then leave. It's inappropriate to bash something which several people took years for it. Especially if it uses a base game as bad as FO4.

    Shame I won't be able to play it. I remember skyrim had a downgrader as well and it worked well and fine for a while till modders updated their mods and new mods were made which broke my game after a while. I'm willing to wait until for a version of the mod that doesn't require a downgrader cause there are some other mods that I know I will download only to find out the downgrader makes them incompatible. Good news is this mod brought me back to Fallout 4 and skyrim, I had quit those games after they recieved pointless upgrades that bricked all my mods. Sure enough when it happens again ill quit again till a noteworthy mod comes along
  9. I spent the better part of 3 hours trying to get this mod to work, Fighting, pleading, and getting overall very frustrated only for it to crash, crash, crash, and boot up without the mod. I'm sure it's a wonderful mod and I'm not looking for any support on how to fix this as I've given up. I only wish to share my frustration with how absolutely fallout 4 is technically garbage and how I want my time that i wasted back

    With all the present hoopla and remaining 'gyrations' still going on with the London DLC, I will wait a bit longer or at least a 3-6 months before downloading. Or waiting for the time when NEXUS itself is featuring for download and fully (100%) supporting the London experience on their own website. Has this DLC been pushed on the market much too soon? This most certainly springs into my mind. I am curious what the reviews and actual experience reports will say and list by the end of this year?

    I'm trying to select the Female Body type at character creation, but it only shows male models regardless of my choice. I am only trying to run FOLON, the recommended ENB and Audio mods. I applied the downgrade. Does anyone have any advice or ran into a similar issue?

    Edit: Fixed, one of the mods wasn't deploying correctly.
