If anyone is interested: I've been wanting to play Fallout: London since before it came out, but 
was put off by the reports of its initial bugginess and how hard it was to make it work at all if 
you didn't have the GOG version of Fallout 4. I already paid for the Steam version and really 
didn't want to buy it again--the game is not that great.

Yesterday I re-installed my Steam copy of Fallout 4, deselected the hi-res textures (which 
are supposed to render FO: Lonfon more prone to crashing) and turned off automatic 
updates, downloaded the roll-back app from Nexus to restore Fallout 4 to the required 
version, then downloaded Fallout: London from GOG and installed that over Fallout 4. It all 
took a couple of hours and eleventy-one gigglebunties of disk space, but I can report it was 
pretty easy to follow the supplied instructions and I've had several hours of fun without any 
trouble.

Essential mods to add are the Unofficial Fixes mod and the long load screen fix mod. Also 
you need to make sure you have the right version of the script extender as the latest one 
goes with the latest update of Fallout 4, and not with the version that supports Fallout: 
London.

It has the humour of the Fallout series, translated into English and set in a city I used to live 
in. If you have any interest in it and have been hesitant hitherto, I think you might enjoy giving 
it a whirl now.

Ciao,
      Marco.
