fallout:london and the upcoming issue with mod compatibility


Recommended Posts

I get it, you're one of those modders that wants to be able to do it all in one play through, i can respect that is what you like. Did you play FO3 and FONV? FONV is just a total conversion of FO3. Were you mad your FO3 mods didn't work in NV? Probably not which to my point I think you looking at London as just another mod is where it goes bad. Looking at as a separate game that needs it's own mods to seamlessly integrate into it's world is a much more profitable point of view. I just think that precluding yourself from playing FO London because you can't bring everything else Fallout 4 with you is a huge loss for you. To each their own though. Me personally, I am so looking forward to leaving the Commomwealth behind for a while, both in game and in the CK.

Cheers.

I've been personally modding Fallout 4 since it came out in 2015. I have several plugins, one of them gigantic in scope, with my own personal modifications not counting the mods I released and use on Nexus and the hundreds of mods I use by other players.

It is literally unfeasible for me to install Fallout London. The loss would be 8+ years of mods I've written and accumulated.

As I said, I am sad to hear the developers of Fallout London elected to replace Fallout 4 rather than to be new lands accessed through it, but no doubt they've been working on their mod for years as well. So it is what it is 🙂

It's nice, however, to know that you and people like you are capable of starting over on Fallout 4 to try London. It means there's a benefit for the London team to share their work.

You... can ... back up your load order, you do realize this ... right?

Also side note London in of itself should be treated as a brand-new game, sure they would have published their own exe if not for legal issues... lol

Personally i don't see why all you mods have to work with base fo4, just seems like you'd be limiting your self, what's the point of modding if not to try something new after all 😛

No, I can't.  It's a terabyte of data with hundreds of thousands of files. And do not talk to me like that.

it's not that deep, and honestly if you're making your load order that large i'd suggest ... cleaning it up a tad

You're a pompous twit, BritishLass. I wish this forum had a block feature so I wouldn't have to see your comments.

Semantics. We are not talking about how these individuals are credited for their work and you being salty about their development choices has little to do with the issue of how best this site should handle file distribution for what will undoubtedly be an extremely popular mod. It would be better for everyone involved if this TC has a branching data file version separate from that of the Fallout 4 base game and Vortex treated them as different games. That is my humble opinion and a tentative prediction: If Nexus doesn't get ahead of this if a few years with so many TC coming up on release the Skyrim SE and Fallout 4 pages are going to be complete cluster f****.

This EXACTLY

it's just going to be a pain, especially with how frequent these large mods have got in recent years!

It could be thought of as similar to Enderal and Skyrim.  There was no mod compatibility but it still was a very worthy program to run on the Skyrim engine.

Enderal included a loading program that added it for its own playthrough and did not interfere with the regular Skyrim load order.  Perhaps that approach can be taken so everybody can try out Fallout London.
