This may come as a surprise to you, but Fallout: London – a major mod for Fallout 4 – is proving to be quite popular among Fallout modders who aren’t part of Team FOLON. Some of the larger New Vegas fans have even begun porting that game’s faction reputation and disguise systems to Blighty.
To be fair, some of them have already done the obvious things with mods, like offering a cure for your character’s crippling dog food addiction, and it looks like they’ll have to wait a little longer to enjoy Fallout: London’s truncated Wild Card main storyline, so let them have some fun in the meantime.

‘Faction Reputation and Disguise System“by Invatorzen feels like the most comprehensive attempt yet to officially acknowledge that you’re the most hated person in London, instead of just acknowledging the fact that every NPC won’t stop shooting at you.
As you might expect, it adds a reputation section to your Atta-boy, letting you see when your actions for or against a particular faction have earned you fame or infamy in their eyes, with the love and hate levels sharing exactly the same language as New Vegas – Idolized, Neutral, Hated, etc. – as you can see below. It also includes a New Vegas-style faction disguise system, letting you don found threads and play the role of a cunning infiltrator.

“A few years ago I was working on the faction reputation and disguise system for Fallout 4. Unfortunately I had already played the game on PS4, PS5 and PC. After so much playthrough I lost motivation to work on the mod,” he explained. “However, Fallout: London was released and it’s a smaller scale game than Fallout 4, so I thought I should revive the mod so I could bring the system to London.”
At the moment the mod still seems like a work in progress, with individual cities/settlements yet to be added to the reputation system. Invatorzen has set things up so they can gather suggestions for disguises and reputation rewards for quests they should add while they work on it.
The mod’s creator also adds that his creation “will not reward you with faction reputation or fame from previously completed quests or killed NPCs,” so you’ll likely have to start over to be able to employ it properly.
If you’re only interested in the ability to equip faction disguises on your Owen, there’s another mod, DanElwood’s ‘Faction masking system‘, It might be worth taking a look at this.
