Switching between Fallout London and Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition
Ingredients: Fallout 4 on Gog and Steam and Fallout London as a mod and two user accounts on your PC
- Install Fallout 4 from Gog or Steam and get Fallout London Running as a mod. I used the Gog version as it's pre-downgraded to 10.163.
- Make a new user account on your PC, or switch user accounts, and install the Steam version of Fallout 4 11.191 someplace else.
- Rename the 11.191 Folder to something other than what it is.
- Go to original user account.
- Copy and place the entire 11.191 folder next to the 10.163 folder so you have two folders, Fallout 4, and blahblah.
- Open Vortex and purge mods from your FOLON install.
- Make a new profile in Vortex (or MO2 nerd) and make sure it has its own saves, etc.
- Close Vortex.
- Rename Fallout 4 folder to blah and blahblah to Fallout 4.
- Open Vortex. It may freak out, relax guy. Worst case it may forget where Fallout is, but you can remind it.
- Install F4SE. Fallout London has it included so if you installed it as a mod, you won't install it separately. But this profile will need it since Fallout London the mod is disabled.
- Enable the mods from your FOLON install that are compatible (and you want them ) with 11.191. Mods that need different versions can easily be set to activate the correct version with the correct profile.
- Install any other mods.
Reversing:
- Purge mods, switch profiles, close Vortex.
- Rename Fallout 4 folder to blahblah and blah to Fallout 4.
- Open Vortex.
- Play.
TLDR. Make an exact copy of each install and just switch folder names and profiles - no need to mess with renaming the files themselves or getting base Fallout 4 version BA2 differences mixing in the same install.
