It's been a long while since I tried to play STALKER. Wanted to get your opinions on which mods to install so the game doesn't blow up (and for improvements). Been finding a lot of dead links here and there. I vaguely remember some gunslinger mod, bug patches, and skybox mods. How do STALKER: SoC players mod their games out in 2023?
Any help is appreciated.

ZRP, that's all you need
I completely forgot about this. Thank you.

ZRP for SoC like the other anon mentioned, and Sky Reclamation Project for Clear Sky.

Call of Pripyat is fine vanilla, but hell, COP is actually fricking ugly, I would actually recommend Absolute Nature and Atmosfear, might as well get Original Weapon Renewal, it only alters appearance of weapons.
I don't recommend OWR for SOC, because of junky the new weapon models look with SOC's weapon handling.
Bookmarked.
Also for Call of Pripyat, you can get OpenXRay.
It's improved version of the engine, more stable, better performance, more console commands, including fov command

For Shadow of Chernobyl there's unofficial patch 1.0008 that also includes fov command

For Clear Sky, you'll have to use fov switcher. It also supports SOC and COP, but they have better alternatives

Also for SOC and CS, patch the exec with this

tldr, these are 32 bit apps, so they can only use 2GB of RAM by default, once they pass 2GB they crash, this allows them to use more than 2GB
How do you change FoV in Stalker?
For first time run and literal vanilla 2.0, only Zone Reclamation Project + any visual enhancements you desire (ie. Absolute Nature, Shaders Max, FOV Switcher...).
For the 2nd run, vanilla + restored content + hefty extra challenge, there's still no beating the AMK 1.4.1.
Download the FOV Switcher.
It's included in the (original) Starter Packs I made over a decade ago. The one on Moddb is an imposter clusterfrick.
>I made
Well done oldhead.

crouching down and using single shot is honestly terrible advice, at least for SoC. the innacuracy is so bad that it becomes counter productive and makes the game kinda RNG hell.
I personally find it far more effective to, while trying to close the distance with enemies, do a burst at the head rather than attempt single shots
>crouching down and using single shot is honestly terrible advice, at least for SoC
Nope. It's the only way to get the job done.
>using a fricking VSS
who fricking cares? thats a lategame gun with extreme accuracy and damage, far above 90% the guns in the game. At that point, the game has no difficulty to combat, because it mostly entirely revolves around having shitty accuracy.
With any normal generic rifle and for the vast majority of your playthrough, 4-6 bullets at the head will be miles more consistent than 1 at a time
Dunno man, sounds like some loud cope by a filtered plebeian.
Single shots and crouch wins the game.
I miss STALKER threads. Thanks for all the info.
It's incredibly hard to discuss this series when most of the threads about it are being used for /misc/ shit these days
true. saw someone try to post the same developer dying thread like 7 times over, same filename in archive tbh. really weird.
Gamma is the only thing worth playing
Just play the mods, base game is garbage as frick
Just install GAMMA. it's anomaly with 300+ mods that enhance it. Really fricking good mod pack, ignore the contrarian fricks and vanilla purists gatekeepers, it's free and it's good.
uh learn to read analmeme apologist, he clearly wants to play soc not some bloated garbage
how predictable..
STALKER vets keep arguing please I want to see which position wins in the end.
frick off
