- This is my new favourite way to play Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, Stalker Clear Sky and Stalker Call of Pripyat.
The original Stalker trilogy is best played with as little mods as possible. This is a collection of mods that I believe is the best way to play these games for the first time. Enjoy!
Installation instructions are included with each link/download. I recommend a fresh install and a new playthrough before running these mods. I have purposefully not included install instructions in the video as I feel its important to do it on your own. Stalker games are very easy to mod so be patient and take your time.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for, simple mods that enhance the vanilla experience. Finished the whole trilogy 3 times and got interested in modding but wasn't satisfied by how much for example the gunslinger mod changes the experience. I'm so glad that youtube recommended this video to me!
im having such a blast playing through SoC. This is the info I needed to enjoy stalker, so thank you!!!
Thanks man. I want to play through these again but close to vanilla as possible with fixes.
Awesome thanks for sharing, I recently played through the entitiry of the trilogy using the complete mod as mentioned in your previous videos. Being stalker 2 has been delayed should give me enough time replay through using these for a much more vanilla experience.
Thanks for sharing, mate! Right on with playing the OGs first before "modding a mod" like what we do with Anomaly or Gamma. Modding the OGs for improved visuals, bug fixes, balancing, and QoL improves them massively. It also makes you appreciate the game better when you finally do get into Anomaly, Gamma, and EFP.
My first playthru of the series I ran ShoC with ZRP and both CS and CoP vanilla and it was amazing. A few years later I am now playing the series with ShoC as the same config but CS and CoP with the ABR mod. I really enjoyed this mod for CS as it leans into the games strong points while staying pretty close to the original. I cant speak to CoP much with ABR bc i jsut started it
Ive been meaning to try out abr. They are such great games for modding
Im playing SOC right now for the first time with the following mods:
-ZRP
-Absolute Nature
-Absolute Structures
-ORP Weapon Overhaul
-Player Camera height at 0.97
Working very well and its super fun.
Nice…very nice! Just be careful when going into pipes when having the player camera higher. It will crash the game.
@jaredspectre thanks for the heads up! (no pun intended lol).
Bro try Vanilla Twist, it's an SoC mod that turns Stalker like any other modern games without getting a complete overhaul (and some gameplay improvements too)
yeah that's probably the best vanilla+ mod for SoC that many people don't know about
I love how you didn't waste any time but I have to say we need more i played radiophobia 3 and finished it and it was incredible now I'm playing clear sky with lfo and i have to say its nowhere near that came here to find a replacement but i don't think there are any

I just had an epiphany - what if Marked One really ISN'T Strelok, but just experiencing a manic episode - him being Strelok is a grandiose delusion, so is the wish granter, and he doesn't need to sleep for days! It all fits!
Strelok is like Ragnar the viking. He may have existed but there is no proof of who he actually was. His legend is bigger than any one man.
@@spectakil That too! Though I was thinking more of the DSM criteria, lol
Why would you leave that comment on a video for people that haven't played the game
Loved your video comrade, do you enjoy any of the story mods made for stalker over the years?
Thanks, yes I really like Narodanya Solanka and goldsphere. Theres just so many! I want to play them all.
Vanilla. There aren't enough people playing the vanilla games first, they just mindlessly download gamma
Yeah, while I appreciate the time and effort been put into gamma I feel like it misses the point. Vanilla is where its at
@@spectakilI’ve put more time into SOC than I have anomaly, or gamma, combined. My favourite thing about the game is it’s setting, and I wanted to experience what it was like as originally designed. They were an absolute blast!
Yeah bro you're so special for playing vanilla and u know so much more than us anomaly plebs I bow for you
@@noprzcalm down buddy
Gamma and anomaly aren't even stalker IMO. The original trilogy carefully sprinkled in enough survival mechanics to create tension and encourage player preparation but not so many so that the player became overwhelmed and bogged down in resource gathering. Anomaly, and particularly gamma completely miss this point and turn the game into yet another open-world-survival-craft game in stalker clothing
Hi bro. I was looking for videos on stalker as I will play it for first time in 2023. This is the best channel so far for same. Subscribed. Pls let me know if mods suggested in this video will drastically change the vanilla experience or they improve overall experience by removing bugs but yet maintain vanilla experience. Would you recommend these mods for first time playthrough?
Yes these are what I would recommend for a first playthrough. My previous videos probably made the game too easy but this one keeps things in balance with the original intent from the developers.
Hi! what you recommend more for clear sky, SRP or Clear Sky Complete? because you have videos of both things and i dont know which one to choose :(
Yeah this video is kind of an update from previous content. I found the Complete pack makes the game too easy so I recommend SRP now.
Any chance you would do guides on how to mod these games?
There is instructions on either each download page or in the download itself. I used to do step by step instructional videos but found I got asked a ton of questions from people. Its very important when modding to learn how to do it yourself. Stalker games are very simple and a great place to start.
yeyyeyeyeyeye love iiittt
i would add the addon that bring back grass shadows for SOC and then it's perfect
Yes. I agree.
I installed reshade. But which settings to use? Can you make a small tutorial or video to show us best reshade settings or preset. Thanks.

Hi ! I'M wondering what are the differences between this weapon mod/addon VS the OWR 3 ...
Hello! This is just a weapon texture reskin. OWR3 adds animations, textures and I believe some audio.
I have downloaded the texture mod to soc but every ak74 has now a green pattern skin is that normal ?
I think so. Maybe try copy it over again
I can really recommend OGSR 1.0.11 (the versions after are with gunslinger, but still unbalanced af)
I love OGSR but it wouldnt be my recommendation for a first playthrough
@@spectakil did it on accident, thought it was just something like a remaster.
But I don't regret it, the beginning was a teensy bit confusing tho. Not having the pda tutorial and such, at least the artifacts and looting were explained somewhat.
I think it could be something for people that don't get to run ShoC at all or the shadows are fecked beyond repair. (had the shadow problem and no known fix worked)
Somehow some newer windows machines completely fuck up and people are still figuring out to fix these problems. For a whole lot not even this compatibility mode works
What Reshade settings do you use? I'm not quite sure how to configure ReShade for use with stalker.
I have a custom preset I made. Would you like me to make a video about Reshade and Stalker?
@@spectakil I'd very much appreciate that! I'm unfamiliar with Reshade, but if there's a way for you to provide your custom preset for download I would prize that as well. Your advice seems to provide a very palatable vanilla experience.

not sure how to set up any of the downloads seeing as your 1st link is just an automatic download and now a link to the download with instructiosn
Thanks for letting me know. The download link should contain a readme with instructions. I will check myself later today.
Spasiba brat
The problem is, once you play more advanced mods, Is difficult to return to vanilla ones...
Yes I agree. I really like SoC though.
the fov switcher is set to 90 how you change it to 85?
The .exe file has instructions when you run it. You have to input a specific number that corresponds to the game and fov you want.
The fov switcher for soc didn't have those options but the one for clear sky does, its working now thanks.
@@izumice3280 I just checked and you are correct. turns out the link I used is not the right one. thank you for finding this. I will fix it up!
New link is up. This one works on all 3 games www.moddb.com/downloads/field-of-view-switcher-17
ZRP sucks. Still keeps all the memory leaks and bugs. And yes I followed the install instructions. Constant jittering.
Interesting. Ive never experienced such issues. Havent heard of anyone else having problems either.
PRP is gone
I love how you didn't waste any time but I have to say we need more i played radiophobia 3 and finished it and it was incredible now I'm playing clear sky with lfo and i have to say its nowhere near that came here to find a replacement but i don't think there are any
So basically you are saying I need to work harder. Got you lol. Try www.moddb.com/mods/abr-cs-mod
