If you have FO4 on Steam, the best thing to do (if you consider time to
be money) is just buy it on GOG for $16 rn. Just downgrading FO4 took me
an hour on Steam, and then you have to manually install the mod, which is
where I gave up.

I don't know how long it's on sale for, but all you do is install
FO:London on Galaxy. It makes a shortcut, no fuss.

Then you have the updated copy on Steam and a separate London copy ready
to go. 34GB.
