Still half the size of new games ;-)

Side note for others interested in the mod: The GOG version is easiest
and, as noted, it works with the Steam version after some effort, but
it is incompatible with the Epic GameStore version of the game, since
it forces the most recent version on you and (from what I read)
there's no downgrade path.

Presumably:

* Unofficial Fixes
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4london/mods/69
(you need to get the one supporting 1.10.163.0 version of F4SE.)

* Long Loading Times Fix
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/73469
(also, cap your framerate to 60 or 120fps, apparently)



(mostly replying so that --whenever I get around to playing-- I have
this post as reference ;-)
