Fallout London is a total conversion mod made by Team FOLON® for Fallout 4 GOTY and requires you to own the base game on either GOG or Steam.

A Polite Disclaimer
In typical imperial British fashion, Fallout: London will take over your Fallout 4 installation. Installing Fallout: London will make irreversible changes to the default Fallout 4: GOTY Edition installation. You’ll also need to disable cloud saves (as the save folder is shared between the game and the mod). If you’d like to play the default Fallout 4: GOTY Edition again, you’ll need to uninstall the game and the mod, and then reinstall Fallout 4: GOTY Edition.
Summary
Fallout: London lets you explore a dishevelled London set in the Fallout universe. It overhauls Fallout 4 with a new story, new weapons, London-centric items and a vast recreation of the ruined city to explore.
Fallout: London is a free total conversion mod for Fallout 4, available to anyone who owns the base game and all of its DLCs. It is developed non-commercially by Team FOLON, many of whom are proud London residents or expats.

The world is beautifully done, and the characters feel authentic.
However, the mod/game crashes frequently, especially during the train sequence of the tutorial.
I am not sure how this was missed during testing.
For the moment, I recommend to wait till the first few patches are done.
The game looks great through the intro. But once that's over, it's crash to desktop after crash to desktop. I've tried a bunch of different solutions but it looks like until the mod is fixed, I'll never be able to get to meat of the game.
Please fix so I can update my review! So much potential...
It looks and plays fine with no frame drops i've experienced so far but there's multiple little and big things that need to be patched. For one thing I can't play for longer than a couple minutes without it crashing and closing itself out which isn't a problem on my end as I followed the installation instructions and have a high end 4K gaming PC that plays anything else with no issue. (seriously guys, it's not a problem on our end, stop saying we didn't install it right).
Bugs i've encountered in my less than 20 minutes of play time.
The switchblade you're given at the start swings slowly even though its attack speed is listed as "very fast".
Enemy damage output on normal is more like hard damage in the base game.
Water around one location I visited (crashed plane) inexplicably caused 247 rad damage per second which is basically instant death for a low level character.
Minute plus load times between cells. It makes playing take waaaaay longer than it should. I actually thought the game froze the first time it happened.
The sudden unexplained crashes are probably due to a memory bleed or possibly conflicting files within the mod and that itself is the one deal breaker for me so I won't be trying until it's fixed because there's just no point right now, you can't get anything done before you're booted out.
Yes this is a huge technical achievement and is essentially its own game, but look passed what is better seen as a post apocalyptic tour of London and you'll find a confusing and messy experience hampered by poor writing, broken quests, unlikeable characters and locations that are entirely unrewarding.
Seriously, the amount of locations that have either nothing in them or are locked off by one of the many obscure misc quests is baffling, and exploring on your own feels like huge waste of time.
Again, I understand that this is a huge project, a mammoth undertaking that has been in development for years and I respect that. But once the "wow!" wears off and you start to really play it, you'll likely leave frustrated
1. Can't choose female at start
2. Can't choose traits at start. It never appears.
3. Very dark. Got lost in the labs trying to find a hidden door
4. Finally got my "pip boy". Game froze so bad I had to Alt f4
It's not remotely ready for release. I couldn't even get far enough to get the train sequence crash I see people having.
