So You Want to Take a Jolly Holiday in the Wasteland, Eh? A Guide to Activating the Fallout London Mod
Fallout 4 got you feeling a bit samey? The Commonwealth a tad too...well, common? Fear not, intrepid wastelander! The chaps at Team FOLON have cooked up a right corker of a mod: Fallout London! Trade in your irradiated radroach for a cuppa and explore the post-apocalyptic Big Smoke. But before you can say "fish and chips," you gotta get that mod activated. Here's how to do it without turning your Pip-Boy into a right old mess.
Gearing Up for Your Post-Apocalyptic Pilgrimage
First things first, you'll need a PC. Grab your trusty vault suit (or whatever stylish gear you've cobbled together) because this mod ain't available on consoles. Sorry, smoothskins on PlayStation and Xbox.
Now, there are two flavours of Fallout London: the "all-in-one" standalone version, and the one that integrates with your existing Fallout 4 save.
The Standalone Caper: This is the easiest option, but you'll be starting a fresh adventure in London. Think of it as a chance to reinvent yourself as a posh chap or a cheeky chav! Download the mod from the Fallout London website and follow their installation instructions.
Adding a Bit of Blighty to the Commonwealth: If you're already knee-deep in a Fallout 4 playthrough and fancy a jaunt across the pond, this is the option for you. But be warned, this requires a mod manager like Vortex or MO2. These fancy bits of kit help keep your mods organized and prevent your game from turning into a radioactive mess.
Important! Whichever version you choose, make sure you have the latest updates for Fallout 4. Nobody wants a buggy Big Ben, eh?
Here Comes the Science Bit (Don't Panic!)
Once you've got your mod manager sorted (if you're going the integrated route), installing Fallout London is a breeze. Just follow these simple steps:
- Find the Mod: Open your mod manager and browse for "Fallout London."
- Clickety-Click: Select the mod and hit the big ol' "Install" button. The mod manager will do all the heavy lifting.
- Priorities, Priorities: Once installed, you might need to adjust your mod list's "load order." This ensures all your mods play nicely together. The Fallout London website has a handy guide to setting the correct load order.
Top Tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed by the techie bits, there are plenty of tutorials online and helpful folks on the Fallout London subreddit who can lend a hand.
Crumpets and Catacombs: You're Ready to Explore!
With Fallout London all set up, you're ready to explore the post-apocalyptic streets of London! Just remember to pack your pip-boy translator app – those Queen's English accents can be a right doozy sometimes.
Now get out there and have a smashing adventure! Just try not to get nicked by a radioactive bobby.
