Fallout London. I've been busy so I don't have a lot of play in but it's one HECK of a mod!!
Yes, there is a HUGE issue with crashing but adding the Buffout4 fix seems to have resolved that issue.
While it's unquestionably a Fallout game it's just plain fun to explore a different region and the devs seem to have paid good attention to local locations. For example, I got stuck on one quest and Googled the name of the in game pub I was working out of and, sure as heck, it was a real location south of London.
Most of the mechanics are the same as Fallout but pretty much everything has been reskinned and renamed. At least at the beginning of the game you pretty much are forced into a melee build as guns and ammo are nowhere near as common as in Fallout. The enemies will also kick your ass so I've had to change my normal play style, at least for now.
If anyone is interested in playing I HIGHLY recommend going through GOG and just buying a fresh version of FO4GOTY because trying to downgrade an existing version is a PITA and you can't plug the mod in over anything other than a pre-update FO4 file. Besides, GOG has the FO4 edition you need for less than $20 so it's a pretty small investment for a HUGE freebie on the London mod.
This is NOT just a DLC. It's a whole new game and you can't move from FO4 to London so it's one or the other.
