Yeah, so, as you know, we Fallout fans are really sad when modders and companies do things for the series we love in 2024. The TV series, Fallout 76 Things, and the recently released Fallout: London have all given us Fallout content.
Well, if you still have room in your schedule for more Ashes content, I have some good news. The modding team behind Fallout: Vault 13, a project working on remaking the first Fallout game into a complete conversion mod for Fallout 4, have just released a previously told us to look out for once summer arrives demo version.

To play the demo, you’ll need to head to Nexus Mods, where you’ll find it’s called exactly what you’d expect: “Fallout Vault 13 – Demo.” The team said it was “released as an early access preview to gather player feedback.”
“In this demo,” the modder continues, “you’ll be able to explore a fully realized version of Inyo, the first of five open world areas included in the full version of the mod. You’ll be able to start the classic Fallout journey, revisit multiple locations from the original game (Vault 13, Vault 15, Shady Sands, Khan Base) and explore everywhere in between.
There are a few issues with the demo that will be corrected in the full version, the biggest of which is that it doesn’t feature any voice acting, just “placeholder blank voice lines that can be skipped” due to time constraints. Beyond that, you need to follow the advice provided to avoid the character “disappearing from view” when you change the character’s body in the character creator and having to remove the skill system in the demo due to a bug that means ” Your skills will not automatically adjust when your special stats change.”

To play the demo, you’ll need Fallout 4 and all of its major DLC (the GOTY version will also work). As with Fallout: London, your Fallout 4 game must be downgraded to version 1.10.163 before the next-gen update. You can do this using the Simple Fallout 4 Downgrader or Fallout 4 Downgrader.
“You should also delete any Creation Club content in your profile folder if present,” the team added. “The only other requirement is the Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE). A copy of Fallout 1 is not required.”
