So far the Game Fallout London runs very well, except two not repeatable CTDs. But this also happens in vanilla game. I am also playing with some mods!. You must have English FO4-version 1.10.163.0 and all DLCs, which I downloaded from GOG. f4se is delivered by London install.
I keep my FO4 (loves it with my mod selection) and made a parallel FO-London. Becaus of the stupid folder constrution (plugin.txt) two users are needed! (In early games, save- and config-folder were in game folders.- Which was an intelligent thinking!)
FIRST: Mind the gap!
The intallation is unusual.
- When you run the "setup_fallout_london_2.31_revision2_(64bit)_(75054)" from GOG, it will install in a folder "Fallout London" but it should be renamed "Fallout London Setup" or "Fallout London Installer" because it is not the game but a repository.
- After this, you get a shortcut Starter icon "Fallout London". When starting the first time, it installs the mod into your "Fallout 4" folder. It checks language and version.
- Now you can start the game with this shortcut. Your FO4 is gone with all its mods***, because the plugin.txt ist replaced.
- The starter shortcut every time checks the installation and plugin.txt and keeps the London inallation "clean".
If you want use mods in Fallout London and/or keep your Fallout 4, follow the steps below.
Two Fallout 4 installations
- user1: "Fallout 4" (German)
- user2: "Fallout 4" (English) renamed after London-install to "Fallout London"
- before you install the second FO4 you must rename your first to "Fallout 4 bak" or similar. Later you can undo this step.
After installing Fallolut London in the second FO4, you must not use the Installer-Starter! anymore! Never-No-Never!
Best: delete it!
Make shortcuts:
user1
Fallout 4: "D:\Games\Fallout 4\f4se_loader.exe" -forcesteamloader
user2
Fallout London: "D:\Games\Fallout London\f4se_loader.exe" -forcesteamloader
replace "D:\Games\" with your path!
Remind the gap!
*** can not imagine that someone played FO4 without mods e.g. without at least "Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch". With the right mods FO4 is realy fun. Without it is crappy, buggy impertinence.
