Fallout: London

Great Game for Experienced Modders

Have been enjoying my time a lot with this mod, however, if I weren't already a very experienced modder, this would genuinely be unplayable as many other reviewers have mentioned. To make the install process as painless as possible for myself, I bought a new FO4 copy on Gog and installed the mod from there. With just those two steps I was able to explore, albeit with 30-50fps on a 4090, 13900k. Not satisfied with this experience I went through the discord, changed my INI settings, capped my FPS, and only after installing an external INI editor was I able to achieve a stable 90fps (anything over caused speed up issues). Next came the crashes... Unlike many others, I didn't experience the "Train Crash Crash", but just random crashes while exploring the overworld, or while entering/exiting locations. Later I found this was due to a small setting in the Buffout config, which after changing fixed about 60% of my crashes. I still crash often while fast traveling. Another frustration out of the box is the literal minute and a half load times to go to the London overworld, this required the Long Load Time Fix, which worked for me, but supposedly causes many issues for others. To make a long story short, my experience with Fallout London has been very much enjoying the content I'm presented with, running into a game breaking crash or glitch, searching the discord and forums for a fix, applying that fix, then repeat. Also just to vent a bit, I know the devs are mostly British, and don't have experience with firearms like many in the west do, but the sheer lack of damage firearms do in this game is laughable. An unarmored headshot with a service rifle to a human enemy does like 1/3rd of its health, with body shots being weaker than a smack with a bat. What the heck. Were this game to have no CTD errors or issues that require a host of mods to fix, I'd give it an 8/10, with these issues, if you're not an experienced modder, this is at most a 1-2/10 as its unplayable.
