I will likely get that started up tomorrow. Looking forward to it, especially since I won't be playing edf6 after all it seems.

[Miauzi]

My darling just started it and is fighting his way out of the "Vault" (or whatever it is)

😇

[Dodzh]

I'm in the process of building a new PC, so sadly, I won't be able to play it until next week.

I used the GOG installer but to play the game with my Steam version it says it will make irreversible changes to my GOTY edition, if I then want to play F4 I will have to re download it. This Sucks!

if this is what I think it is, then it is the ini edit (btw I did a manual install so I am not sure)

(or it could be the downgrader)

 

basically it adds LondonWorldSpace - bah.ba2's to the ini files

but I could be wrong

(I have started a new game but I need to go over my F4SE files because of crashing (such as Deadeye.dll)

I have the 1.10.163 game from before the update, but it is a Steam provider for the game. GOG is the only place to get Fallout London that I know of (Would have been great to have a MEGA site to download from) and yes I saw those instructions in the manual installation directions too. 

I just don't want to ruin a working install of F4, My Skyrim SE 1.5.97 has never acted the same downgraded as it did pre update, so I guess this boils down to...do I want all the work associated to try this Mod out??

The reason I did not do the manual install is it looked easier for me to let the GOG installer do it, not real tech savvy here, old and getting older.  

 

EDIT: Thanks for helping!

Vor 14 Minuten sagte Raven 54:

Ich habe das GOG-Installationsprogramm verwendet, aber um das Spiel mit meiner Steam-Version zu spielen, heißt es, dass dadurch irreversible Änderungen an meiner GOTY-Edition vorgenommen werden. Wenn ich dann F4 spielen möchte, muss ich es erneut herunterladen. Das ist scheiße!

It's a total conversion of the vanilla game... but that's also "Enderal" for Skyrim

How do you solve this?

My darling uses her mobile hard drive for this - she creates a 1:1 copy of the entire Fallout folder... yes, it's tens of GB - but that saves you a new installation and a subsequent downgrade.

The mods are a bit more complex - because their specific assignment (such as loading order) is saved in the mod manager... but it can also be solved.

 Thanks, I did not think of that, will try to muddle my way through to see if I can do that. I do have a 2tb external SSD storage drive. Do you think that will work out alright?

Vor 4 Minuten sagte Raven 54:

Danke, daran habe ich nicht gedacht, ich werde versuchen, mich durchzuwursteln, um zu sehen, ob ich das schaffe. Ich habe ein externes SSD-Speicherlaufwerk mit 2 TB. Glaubst du, das wird gut gehen?

 

 

If you wait a few more hours until my sweetheart gets up (very late), she might be able to give you a few additional tips... that might make your job easier.

Here's what I did to make it work with my Steam version of FO4:

 

1. Go to your steamapps folder (where Fallout 4 and every other game you have on Steam is installed) and either rename or move the "Fallout 4" folder.

 

You can rename it like "Fallout 4 - COPY Edition" or just move it elsewhere (remember where you moved it!)

 

2. Rename or move the "Fallout4" folder in your "Documents\My Games" folder. The full path should be something like:

C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\My Games\Fallout4

(this is where your Saves are and where F4SE puts some stuff!)

 

3. Rename or move the "Fallout4" folder in  your "AppData\Local" folder. The full path should be something like:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Fallout4

The only important file in here should be your plugins.txt but different people might have other stuff.

 

3. Re-install Fallout 4 in Steam (it's gonna be the NG+ version)

 

4. Downgrade Fallout 4 to 1.10.163 as FOLON wants

 

5. Install FOLON

 

 

 

You'll have to remember to put the original files back when you're done playing through FOLON but this way we know we're still gonna have those files.

[Miauzi]

Vor 1 Stunde sagte Here4SlootyMods:

Folgendes habe ich getan, damit es mit meiner Steam-Version von FO4 funktioniert:

 

1. Gehen Sie zu Ihrem Steamapps-Ordner (in dem Fallout 4 und alle anderen Spiele, die Sie auf Steam haben, installiert sind) und benennen Sie den Ordner „Fallout 4“ um oder verschieben Sie ihn.

 

Sie können es in „Fallout 4 – COPY Edition“ umbenennen oder es einfach woanders hin verschieben (merken Sie sich, wohin Sie es verschoben haben!)

 

2. Benennen Sie den Ordner „Fallout4“ um oder verschieben Sie ihn in Ihren Ordner „Dokumente\Meine Spiele“. Der vollständige Pfad sollte etwa so aussehen:

C:\Benutzer\<Ihr Benutzername>\Dokumente\Meine Spiele\Fallout4  

(Hier befinden sich Ihre Speicherstände und F4SE legt einige Dinge ab!)

 

3. Benennen Sie den Ordner „Fallout4“ in Ihrem Ordner „AppData\Local“ um oder verschieben Sie ihn. Der vollständige Pfad sollte etwa so aussehen:

C:\Benutzer\<Ihr Benutzername>\AppData\Local\Fallout4  

Die einzige wichtige Datei hier sollte Ihre Datei „plugins.txt“ sein, aber verschiedene Leute haben möglicherweise auch andere Dateien.

 

3. Installieren Sie Fallout 4 erneut in Steam (es wird die NG+-Version sein)

 

4. Downgrade von Fallout 4 auf 1.10.163, wie FOLON es möchte

 

5. Installieren Sie FOLON

 

 

 

Sie müssen daran denken, die Originaldateien zurückzugeben, wenn Sie mit dem Abspielen von FOLON fertig sind, aber auf diese Weise wissen wir, dass wir diese Dateien immer noch haben werden.

 

My darling just compared this with her work steps tonight and says ->

 

Thank you very much from both of us

I know this won't appeal to probably most of you, but if you currently have Steam FO4 and want to play FO London, GOG is having a big sale on FO4 Game of the Year edition - the whole thing for $15.99 US right now.

 

I'm deep into a heavily modded Steam FO4 game right now that I spent months working on, and don't want to give it up.  I also wanted to try FO London as a diversion.  I ended up spending the money and also bought the GOG version of FO4 (doesn't need downgrading, and FO London will install automatically) and was able to run both versions on my computer no problem.  I can now save the Commonwealth and then for a break go explore London without any further modification or alteration or having to verify file integrity, etc., etc.

[Miauzi]

Vor 9 Minuten sagte Travelmedic:

Ich weiß, dass dies wahrscheinlich den meisten von Ihnen nicht gefallen wird, aber wenn Sie derzeit Steam FO4 haben und FO London spielen möchten, bietet GOG einen großen Rabatt auf die FO4 Game of the Year Edition an – das Ganze derzeit für 15,99 US-Dollar.

 

Ich stecke gerade tief in einem stark modifizierten Steam FO4-Spiel, an dem ich monatelang gearbeitet habe, und möchte es nicht aufgeben. Als Abwechslung wollte ich auch FO London ausprobieren. Am Ende habe ich das Geld ausgegeben und auch die GOG-Version von FO4 gekauft (ein Downgrade ist nicht erforderlich, und FO London wird automatisch installiert) und konnte beide Versionen problemlos auf meinem Computer ausführen. Ich kann jetzt das Commonwealth speichern und dann für eine Pause London erkunden, ohne weitere Modifikationen oder Änderungen vornehmen zu müssen oder die Dateiintegrität überprüfen zu müssen usw. usw.

 

What I'm wondering is: Where does the GOG-version save the save- and configuration-files?

Because in the Steam-version they are normally under Documents -> My Games -> Fallout 4.

-

As long as it's the same, the other game will overwrite it or am I making a mistake here?

Besides what @Miauzi said my drive E is where Steam is installed and now GOG Galaxy with FOLON will that be an issue for me as I have another drive but it is for storage only.

What you said seems easiest for me to accomplish, and at my age with my eyesight I am all about easy!

I have an 8 terabyte HDD that I throw bulk files onto. It is happily storing a complete copy of fallout 4 and all of the mods I had for it (over 150gb) while I mess around with Fallout London.

 

I have not gotten far into it yet but seems like a great game so far.

38Gb download, so mega would throw a fit, unless you as the down loader has a premium, and even then it would depend on which premium version you have, and the free accounts stops after 5Gb, and then waits around 6-8 hours before starting again, there are not many free file hosts that allow downloading of such big files in one go, or at least not without capping down on your speed anyway, GOG is fine, I just got the single archive files but it is pretty tedious to download that way, but they come in more suitable 4GB sized chunks.

I run my Steam version with MO2, so my saves for that version are saved in a completely different folder that I set up.  I think the GOG version does save to the file path you listed, as it first tried to read an old save I still had there.  I may possibly install a new instance of MO2 for GOG/London, not sure what the mods will be like, or maybe just so I can set up a unique filepath for those saves too.

My regular system drive is C:/

 

All of my games are on a separate G: drive.  I have a Steam folder for the game itself, a Fallout 4 folder for my MO2 stuff for Steam, and set up a new GOG folder for my GOG games.

 

I haven't really played London at all yet except to make sure it starts, and it fired up no problem.  I play the Steam version launched from MO2.  I started the GOG version from the GOG Galaxy launcher, haven't tried it from its own shortcut yet, but the filepaths are completely different.

I see you haven't discovered that Mega tracks your usage by IP address. If you use a VPN (who doesn't these days?) then you can easily change your IP address by switching your exit node (location) on your VPN.

 

When MEGA's DL stops due to hitting the 5 gb limit:

1. Shut down your mega app and/or close any Mega browser tabs.
2. Change your VPN location and wait for it to connect.
3. Restart your mega app and/or reopen your mega download in a browser tab.
4. Profit.

[Raven 54]

GOG Galaxy/GOG F4/GOG FOLON no mods other than the setup that came with it, launching through GOG Galaxy.

Well Churchill got stuck in the Fish people town, Thamestown? And guess who showed up, Dogmeat, only his name is Dog.

Saves are being written to  documents/my games/F4/saves

Wish I knew how to change this...

 

EDIT; Save load times and going through any door load to another cell are horribly long!

My provider does not issue static ip's to its users, so my ip changes over time, though it only shows somewhere in the uk, not too sure how often it changes, but I do know it changes.

 

I also do not in effect buy subscription based software, I want to buy it once then forget about it, so no a vpn is not something I have bothered with, nor will I.
