How to install Fallout London on the GOG build of Fallout 4
If you own Fallout 4 on GOG, the process is as easy as it gets. Simply download the FOLON installer as instructed above, and it will install the entire game for you. Once the installer does its job, the modded version of the game is ready to launch out of the box.
Steam owners, on the other hand, will have to go through a few extra steps.
How to install Fallout London on the Steam build of Fallout 4
If you own the Steam build of Fallout 4, you will have to rollback it to the pre-Next Gen version. You can do this manually via Steam Depot download, or better even, use the official Fallout London downgrader from Nexus.
Download the right version of the file from Nexusmods depending on whether you're using Windows or Linux. Afterwards, it's just a matter of following the instructions on the patcher, and waiting a while. The downgrader is also needed for modders who want to make new mods on top of Fallout London as a foundation.
If you have a modded copy of Fallout 4, make sure to make a backup of your root directory, move it to a safe location, and then get a fresh installation from Steam. We also recommend that you move your MO2 folder (if using MO2) to another directory altogether.

Fallout London is a DLC-sized Fallout 4 mod that takes place in a fan-made recreation of post-apocalyptic UK in the year 2237, which would fall in between the timeline of Fallout 1 and 2.
The original landmass of Fallout 4's Boston is completely wiped with the mod, and instead you get a whole new playable area with new quests, characters, factions, gadgets, mechanics, and more.
