So, I finally got Stalker, and I remember a while back I read on the forums that Stalker is way better after visual mods made by fans.

Can anyone link me up?

I found Fileplanets Stalker Page, but there are so many listed I'm not sure which ones I should get. I also searched the forums since I know I found it on here at some point, but I was unsuccessful. Gimme a hand! :)

or

http://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-soc-oblivion-lost-2010

Not both. Just pick one or the other. Complete is cleaner and is best fit for most people. Oblivion Lost is truer to the original idea of the game but much much harder. Random radiation storms etc etc. It's more for people who are familiar with Stalker. If youre not sure start with Stalker Complete. Thats a bit better overall fit for most people.

Both have significant Graphical improvements. Stalker Complete is a good general overhaul Oblivion Lost is an over hual with a slightly darker take on the game.

I ended up playing through with Complete. I enjoyed Oblivion Lost but it's a fight for survival and I was too stressed to get very far.

Great thanks! I'll probably go with Complete as you say, although I did notice both mods. So I don't need to get anything else then?

No typically what Id do is go to the the main stalker mod page and look at the graphical mods with most downloads. Theres a good one with weather changes but I believe even that is included in the Complete.
 
Thanks, you guys are the best. I feel like I'm getting to this game really late, but I'm glad there are people that are so dedicated to it. Terrible shame Stalker 2 is... well, we'll say on "indefinite hiatus."
 
Stalker complete is a good start because it follows the vanilla storyline, adds some graphic tweaks and fixes alot of the bugs in the game. If you enjoy the game, try a second play through with Priboi Story http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EIXD2AWR It is a total story conversion of the game and is defiantly worth a play through. My personal favorite is a russian mod that is mostly translated to english, Narodnaya soljanka - DMX 1.3.4 This mod has alot of changes in it guns, suits, added maps, side quests and so much more. It takes awhile to get everything downloaded and installed but well worth it once you start playing. http://translate.google.com/transla...134-traduction-anglaise-maintenant-disponible
 
STALKER Complete really adds a lot to the game,not just graphically but in added elements without changing the storyline. Once you've finished the original game,try Priboi's Story,also available at Moddb.com. It's a conversion mod that uses locations from the game with a new story. There's another huge mod coming up called Lost Alpha that looks very promising as well.
 
I'm onto SGM mod 2.0 now.

Russian STALKER modding scene is a killer.

I'm not any more into realistic weapon dmg, trajectory etc.
1-2 bullet kill is a bit noobish for my taste now

SGM for Call of Priypat? Im playing SGM 1.7 repacked V2 from the GSC forums. I will try SGM 2.0 when i get finished with 1.7, im to far into it. I love the atmosfear mod added into SGM, really brings out the eye candy.

Right now im playing SGM 1.7 for Call of Pripyat, OGSE for Shadow of Chernobyl and Narodnaya soljanka - DMX 1.3.4. I cant get enough of the zone!
 
I am playing Call of Pripyat right now but this time with mods. Nothing from a compilation just a bunch of things I found here http://stalker.filefront.com/files/S...yat/Mods;11175
At first I was excited, it took me a while to try each mod before I decide to play the entire game, but my excitement is over pretty quick. The A.I is too dumb even on "Master" and I don't like how the character strafe speed is walking pace. I'm already half way thought the game and I'm thinking to uninstall. I will have few more massive battles with Stalkers vs Bandits and Duty vs Freedom with the NPC Spawn mod then it's time to find something better to do. I'm using these mods right now:

black_kite_professional (3 different stats for steppe eagle)
bright_night_mod_by_dj_pico (I've already upped the gamma so can't see difference)
call_of_pripyat_realistic_damage (your health is same as npc, headshot instant kill)
cop_hight_quality_maps_1.6.02 (good for low resolutions)
cop_spawn_menu_modv1.1 (spawn items/weapons/enemies with offset feature)
disable_grass_transparent_retexv1 (the small grass is gone)
full_upgrades_without_tools (no need to look for tools)
no_armor_degrade (armor doesn't wear out, only gets damaged by bullets/anomalies)
no_weapon_degrade (same thing)
stalker_cop_barkeeper_sells_everything (every item in the game is in his list)
stalker_cop_increase_knife_range (stabbing now works)
stalker_cop_light_hud_no_pda_sounds_v1.2 (smaller compact HUD)
stalkercop_russianmod (russian language, english text)
svarogmk21.0 (very easy to see artifacts)
thesnowmod (soil color replaced with white texture + rain is snow)
visible_range_mod (You can see further)

I think it was more fun making the mods work than playing with them. It's good game and when I get nostalgic I will replay it again but it's a little bit over-hyped to be honest.

Yeah it's terrific, isn't it? And so hard...
EDIT: Yeah from GSC. Translations not all done :(

Narodnaya soljanka... don't have time now, but it's on my NEXT TO DO list :)
That thing is friggin HUUGE

@Kokain
I understand where you're coming from, but I promise you the hype is not fake.

STALKER community is rather large and quite fanatic about it.
But it's not like we are posers pretending to like some art crap we don't even understand.

Speaking for myself the only other game that comes close is one and only Deus Ex.
See? I am not pretending its System Shock, because I didn't even play that :)

But if you wanna be pissed about it, there are plenty things besides animations.
Whole series is very rough around certain edges, so rough I'd throw it into bin if it was some other game...
Yet STALKER is so good I had to forgive and endure.
