Yes, I said it and mean it.

It has 'NPCs' that feel way more alive than anything bethesda ever put out and even an anarchist faction that so far acts like actual anarchists do/would in real life not the common idea of anarchists in most media.

Apart from the ocassional crashes (even with the patch), this is a great game/mod and I highly recommend trying it out if you have Fallout 4.

Edit: You can get it here

Instructions on how to install on Steam are here

Instructions on how to install on linux are here (though you can skip installing Buffout as the latest patch has it already). I do recommend installing it through Heroic if you have a gog account though, makes it a lot easier than Lutris ime.

Make sure you turn off weapon debris, you can do this by finding Fallout4Prefs.ini for both Fallout 4 and Fallout London (just in case) and setting the following options thusly:

[NVFlex] bNVFlexEnable=0 iQuality=0 bNVFlexInstanceDebris=0 bNVFlexDrawDebris=0

The only negative thing really is the crashing. It still happens a lot for me even with the patch.

the discord for the mod is really helpful, and has a pretty smart bot to decipher crashlogs. Definitely solved some issues I had. Recommended, unless discord is a nono, which is fair.

I do some "community service" over there and help out others where I can. And seems like most crashes are either some lingering mods from old-fallout4 install, creation club mods (any cc*.* files in fallout/data -dir, or old config files in mydocs/mygames/fallout4) or "bug fix mods" intended for 1.00/1.01 folon versions, and lastly: weapon debris -option enabled - that causes crashes outright with nvidia cards.

edit: also "long loading times fix" -mod is a total nono, there's better and less files corrupting options out there (highfpsphysics)

Yeah discord is a no no for me for three reasons:

I try not to use proprietary things,

I don't like messengers without (audited and good) end-to-end encryption,

I get overwhelmed easily in groups and bad things happen.

Still, appreciate the recommendation and suggestion ๐Ÿ™‚.

Mine was a fresh install of both fallout 4 and fallout london and hasn't had any mods added to either, so it is unlikely any of those are the reason it crashes.

Edit: I will look at that option but I have an AMD GPU, so that shouldn't be an issue if it's only nvidia.

not 100% sure if the weapon debris is nvidia only issue, but I've only seen the crashlog sniffing bot mentioning it when people have had nvidia cards.

I'll try turning it off. Thank you so much for the help!

[-] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

Hey, so more testing is required but so far it seems to have not crashed since I turned weapon debris off. Thank you!

Awesome! If it helped, great!
