Wait what?

That's great news.

Yes it would be good news but you will have to own the base game and it could work because the game on GOG is not updated but also you would have to live without any mods as well. there seems to be a price for everythang.

Owning the base game should be a thing. But What makes you think we can't use mods?

Would prefer not to use mods anyway so no loss for me. But you can still use mods lol Not sure where you're getting your info from.

Because I have the game on GOG and there is no creation club or mods access with it. I suppose you might be able to use Nexus but that would probably require deleting any other copy's you have.

If only there were multiple mod managers you could use for different copies of the game.

Sadly, such things do not exist. It's only ever Vortex.

So unpack this a little.

FOLON is going to release on GOG based around the pre Next Gen version of FO4?

Fallout London is being adapted to the next gen update, but note this quote from the article:

Carter is open to releasing the old, pre-next-gen update version of Fallout: London - the one that was ready to launch on April 23. “We are being tempted by community feedback to launch on the old version alongside the new version,” says Carter. “But this isn't set in stone as it would effectively double our release workload.”

Ah... and that's your problem. You're a CC user which I recommend NOBODY use.

I don't have the GOG version but why would it not have the same in game Mod manager and CC manager that points to Bethesda.net??

Pardon me but being an old man 73 I am not up on the CC jargon so could you define it for me.

Your age does not matter, not sure why you even used it. You know what CC means.

No it seems to be a virgin copy on GOG the CC that I now understand did not come out with the original game it was a update.

Sir, there are two ways to use Mods on Fallout 4

-Use the Bethesda supplied Creation Club (CC). this is easy to use from the game CC mods menu, many of those mods are for (small) pay in Creation Club credits. Though these credits ultimately must be bought with real money (albeit not expensive IMHO).

-The 2nd way (that I and many others) use is to log on to nexusmods.com download their mod manager Vortex (there are other mod managers out there but this one is arguably the most common) down load fan made patches and then download mods from Nexus.
Its slightly more work but a lot more rewarding IMO.

Many users (and I am one of them) feel that the free offers on nexus are often better curated/maintained because community feedback is open and encouraged to those mods.
In CC its take it or leave it and on occasion broken mods can stay up a long time.

Hope this was helpful Sir

PS: I sincerely hope FOLON will be released for the unupdated game version as well.
There are so many, in my opinion, must have mods, that may never be updated by their authors to the new updated game.
So I will likely never update my game and would miss out on FOLON then.

Just to summarize the information given so far:

• GOG will release FOLON for PC Fallout 4 copies including all DLCs wherever bought, but not for the PS5/Xbox versions, since those platforms can not handle the file size.
  
• FOLON will rely on the next-gen update, but they think about releasing another version for non-updated F4 copies.
  
• No words about CC contents, but as these are just mods, we can assume that they won't matter.
  
• A release date is not given as of now.
