Last week, the Fallout community was treated to an expansive new world to explore with the Fallout: London mod. But the fun doesn’t stop there – more mods are already in the works for this game-sized fan project. One particular mod is causing quite a stir by aiming to inject some American flair back into the franchise, as Fallout: London transports players across the pond. The mod in question? It’s A Soccer Ball, created by user GrumpyOldNord just one day after Fallout: London’s release.
This seemingly innocuous mod simply changes the name of a football to a soccer ball in-game, catering to American players who might find the British lingo confusing. But what started as a light-hearted tweak has sparked a firestorm in the comments section of the mod’s Nexus Mods page. From debates on language to accusations of terrorism (yes, really), the discussion has taken a dramatic turn.
Despite the heated exchanges, It’s A Soccer Ball is meant to be a humorous addition to the game, tagged under “horror” and “humor, joke, or just for fun.” So while the mod may have sparked a virtual war of words, at its core, it’s all in good fun. But perhaps someone should remind the commenters of that fact.
