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

  1. 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.
  2. Make a new user account on your PC, or switch user accounts, and install the Steam version of Fallout 4 11.191 someplace else. 
  3. Rename the 11.191 Folder to something other than what it is.
  4. Go to original user account. 
  5. Copy and place the entire 11.191 folder next to the 10.163 folder so you have two folders, Fallout 4, and blahblah.
  6. Open Vortex and purge mods from your FOLON install.
  7. Make a new profile in Vortex (or MO2 nerd) and make sure it has its own saves, etc.
  8. Close Vortex.
  9. Rename Fallout 4 folder to blah and blahblah to Fallout 4.
  10. Open Vortex. It may freak out, relax guy. Worst case it may forget where Fallout is, but you can remind it.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Install any other mods.

Reversing:

  1. Purge mods, switch profiles, close Vortex.
  2. Rename Fallout 4 folder to blahblah and blah to Fallout 4.
  3. Open Vortex. 
  4. 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.

FO4 10.163 and 11.191 Swapping

Gonna try it, GOG version. But all the tutorials are for downgrading, and steam. I have FOLON running, I want to put 191 next to it. After reading a bunch about bat file renaming.. what if I just had 191 in a folder next to 163 and just bat changed the names of the folders, rather than individual files? And then of course changed profiles in Vortex. I feel like downgrading just 3 files with the existing patcher (which seems to be for steam?) skips over the big depot dumps I had to download when I first downgraded the slow way - like there's more than 3 files difference between the versions, not to mention the cc content that would be sitting around if I did what the existing tutorials say. Thoughts? Experiences?

EDIT: it works I made a guide https://youtu.be/k_rxnQLWzzg

Mysterious soft lock/freeze

I've squashed all ctds, game runs real smooth, but every now and then, with no discernable pattern (often loading screens but often not, I'll just be running around) I'll get a soft lock where the screen freezes and any current audio tracks keep playing, but their script dies. No ctd. I have to task manager force quit the game. Can happen after a few minutes or after an hour, so, hard to diagnose. And no error log. Unless something makes one for that anyway?

By the time I exit a vehicle I'm 96 years old

Is there a mod to just press B and exit? Why do I have to hold it for 14 years? B literally does nothing else in the vehicle it's not gonna conflict... is there an ini setting? A mod? Help, I've lost 165 years of life exiting the moon jumper.

Art Damage Radio London Mod Showcase

If you want some weird new stuff for exploring. This might be for you. In beta, but just final testing of song randomness.

Based on a radio show that aired on WAIF 88.3 Cincinnati (Ohio) from around 1985 - 2010 that featured noise and experimental music. It features 50 original tracks recorded between 2003 and 2026 by The Wild Gunmen, Nono San Pedro, Dick Fitts, Terry Childers (Trash Bot), Death Beam, and Roesing Ape, with guest vocals/lyrics by Scabs McHavok and Nik Soluski. The setting is hosted by Pot n' Piss, a pair of mutated scallywags who stumbled into an abandoned radio station in an underground tube. Link in comments, on Nexus.

Best Part of Vortex 2.0

Duplicated window controls right next to one another that do the same thing. So brave and yet so brave.

Art Damage Radio London at Fallout 4 London Nexus

Howdy;

I'm just about done making a London specific radio mod, just in testing phase for repeats, randomization of audio and PSAs, etc. Would appreciate any feedback.

Also hey new music for exploring London! The more time I spend in it, the more appreciation I have for the work that went into the mod Holy Shit.

Anyway here's a teaspoonfull from me!

River fog reflection problem

It's not enb, it's not any weather mods, it's not water reflections in the ini, it's only those weird clouds across the river not interacting correct with the water surface. Is this just, what the game is supposed to do? Is it lod? That seems weird if it's just those little fogs..

My second radio mod, thought I did it the same way, but my random PSA/news breaks will play the first few seconds, then restart and play the whole bit. Like the engine is resetting the audio once. I've gone through every bit comparing and can find no difference between this and another mod without the problem...

Almost destroyed my Fallout London install. Had to downgrade to the old version of vortex. This update is not ready and it is f88ckin up a lot of people's shit. Very irresponsible, if it ain't fixed soon I may finally move to MO2.
