When I first saw that the video was 22 minutes I was like "wtf, why is this that long?".
Pleasantly surprised by the end though because you actually took the time to explain the ENTIRE process to people who may be new to modding with how to check for compatibility, finding and posting error logs to help out the creator, troubleshoot, etc.
As someone who has done a lot of modding in the past I really appreciate you educating people to this level. Greatly improves the community as a whole
It bothers me a lot when my vids get past like 5 min, I have REALLY bad ADHD 🤣 but Yea that's how I felt, I want to do it right no matter how long the video gets 👌🏽
OOOkkkkk..... so sorry I had to stop what I was doing immediately and give you props for the professionalism. THANK YOU for posting your specs, thank you for posting your mod list. Just those alone make you someone that I could take seriously in the modding community. lol. I have been watching tutorials for STALKER for a week now and have noticed not a single person has listed their modlist, OR their build!!!! Even on the performance videos lol. So, anyway, its a breath of fresh air to see that you covered that stuff. I will definitely have to look at your other videos as well. Thanks. Subscribed.
Bothers tf outta myself when others don't do what I believe is the obvious 👀 much love homie
You're the best man, thanks for the simple step by step guides they have made my experience with Stalker amazing. Keep up the good work!
always straight to the point. youtube needs more creators like you
Congrats on 500 subs and ty for a modding tutorial that actually makes sense
Thank you for the video! Helped me finally get my first mods installed!
Super informative, thanks a bunch! Will recommend :)
You are awesome man! Thank you for explaining everything. Subbed
Thanks a ton man this was super helpful
*You're underrated dude. Keep it up, You have a bright future on youtube for sure*
THANK YOU! Finally someone actually explained it
Thanks alot brother, sending love from South Africa 👊🏾.
👊🏾
Great video! Very Helpful Indeed!
Thanks man i know this is 2 years ago but thanks
thanks for the installation process for stalker anomaly bro!
thank you man it worked
very good guide thanks bro
Thanks so much man, chilled and understandable instructions and tips.
Best guide yet
Thank you for the video !! I was really looking for a complete tutorial on how to mod with MO2 Anomaly. I use to mod with mo way back with skyrim but can't remember sht...
I would be very glad if you could give us a list of the mods you're using. It would save me quite a bit of time when it comes to choosing the mods and experiencing what works or not. You mentioned you don't have any issues with your mods and I guess you're having the best experience with the game. Many thanks for the tutorial tho !
I agree for that will be very helpful plz wizarjry
@@tryingtotryistrying thanks for your time bro
@@tryingtotryistrying Do you know how to disable the mags redux addon i don't really like it it's just too hard to play with it
@@tryingtotryistrying I just disabled it and it still is not disabled for some reason
It's in the description homie! I'll make a note for next upcoming vid to vocalize a reminder for everyone watching, Much Love ❤️
Yes you cut to the chase and thats good, good vidéo !
thanks dude! i install a bunch of mods and then dont know if everything was even installed correctly haha
love the video and thought that you showed everything perfectly but could you pls make a video on how to edit packages
Thank you for this tutorial. I finally figured out that you need a BreeZip extractor app from microsoft store to launch the game.
Great vid! Great delivery! Thanks! I literally just bought a desktop pc for this game. For a game that is over a decade old and free?!?!?
Thank you good sir
Can I please have that wallpaper 🤩 super great content! Easy to follow!
Great videos man. Much love.
why are you so underrated? I managed to get stalker anomaly working smoothly and so far 2 hours into the game and now here I am trying to mod. Thank you for helping fellow stalkers and new stalker newcomers like me. I even uploaded a clip of me getting jumpscared by a chimera lol
thanks
when i was making an instance i was unable to find stalker anomaly. any ideas? i had it in a folder it was vanilla also
I got to the part where you launch the app directly from mod organizer 2 to see if it works properly, but now my game is a very small borderless window. From what I can see, my video settings in-game are exactly as I left it. The only deviation from the tutorial I made was I made it a portable instance.
Update: Attempted to troubleshoot following the next step in the tutorial. Created a new instance for global, launched app from mod organizer 2, then selected reset graphic settings in the launcher. If anyone is having the same issue, this will most likely fix it.
amazing video, any way to stop the overwrite folder from filling up upon startup?
Thanks for your Work, i appreciate it!
Btw whats the Name of your Browser Theme/Design ? ^^
If you download wallpaper engine on steam, search for Stalker under Workshop and you should get a TON of dope stalker wallpapers :)
okay i have a question tho, do you have to launch stalker thru the mo2 launcher or just the regular launcher?
I'm having so many issues just trying to Have JSRS overwrite Boomsticks&Sharpsticks' weapon sounds. I found merge mods, but they always say a file is missing or duplicated for some ammo or something. Really, I just want to have my game have BaS, great sound, and better weapon position/camera/animations, so I can work my way crafting to the top of the equipment chain, beat the stories, and become Queen of Zone. Is that too much ask? I have been trying to get the animation, weapons, and sound of Escape From Pripyat 3.0, without any of the other stuff. But after two days of shuffling files and whatnot, I just cant get it working.
Make sure Boomsticks&sharpsticks is first in the load order then JSRS 1 2 3 then the patch.
Would you be able to an up to date Expedition + FDDA mod guide? i really can't seem to get this to work have followed numerous guides and still just bugs out. especially after putting the expedition mandatory patch update just crashes every time i use item animations
Could you make a video on where to find mods and how to get them on your pc
Hey thanks for the useful info. I noticed you have an addon there called 'enemies_do_not_see_through_foliage', I searched and couldn't find it, is it something you made yourself? This kind of thing is so annoying in games, I'll never forget those Far Cry 2 snipers, kill you from a mile off through 10 layers of bushes. I would love to have this addon.
I was trying to rename the GAMMA MCM values in the Mod Organizer Menu so I could keep the mods I have selected after updates and after I renamed it I hit the Enter key and the entire line disappeared. Was that supposed to happen or did I royally fuck something up?
so i recently downloaded a mod pack called dark signal, it apparently wasn't set up correctly because now mod organizer is asking me to use the content tree, i don't know how to fix that up.
When you mean a fresh clean install? Does that mean that I cannot do it? If I played the game before without mods?
My mod organizer keep saying that can’t find a directory to manage and saying anomaly is not supposed even though in the plugin file there a basic_game addon that should add more game for mo2 to manage including anomaly, I’ve been looking for hours for a fix but nothing seem to work, both mo2 and stalker files are fresh without any notification also
Is having a fresh install of the game a necessary type deal or can I skip over that part?
I'm a bit late to the Anomaly party but what do you do if MO2 is saying you dont have the game installed?
Nice vidéo, do you have a links for your mods ? Thanks
hey bro, ive got my mod installed and everything, but the game wont launch from MO2. when i launch it without mo2, it works fine but the mods arent there. is there a fix to this? thanks for the help
i installed the mod and when i click the start button, then i click on the launcher Play stalker anomaly the game doesn't pop up... was there something missing? I didn't get any errors.
Does this work with Stalker Expedition? It would be awesome if you make a tutorial
It will open and everything but it says and I quote “Cannot open instance ‘STALKER Anomaly’, the game directory ‘C:/STALKER anomaly New’ doesn’t exist or the game plugin ‘STALKER Anomaly’ doesn’t recognize it. Select the game managed by this instance.
how do you update your mods? like food drings animation on efp for exemple
late to the party but when i try creating the new instance for anomaly it says Anomaly does not contain a game mod organizer can manage. But it does because i can play the game.
I am curious, does the English mods work for you?
🤝
For me it says that the content of are not valid and when I press okay it tells me This mod was probably NOT set up correctly, most likely it will NOT work. You should first correct the directory layout using the content-tree. Wth do I do?
How do I know if a mod is safe to uninstall mid save? I usually like having mods that I can easily uninstall if I don't like it anymore.
👍. Very new to stalker. Played it years ago. Couple of ? Is anomaly a stand alone game? Or is it a mod for stalker?
Completely Standalone!
Thanks, i'm latino, but this guide is really... i do not know how to say it xd But you're the best, thanks
did you have to unzip the files first before 'installing' the mods?
Hey can you help me please my stalker anomaly Has a Glitch where it has no volume and it's even on the default game so can you please help me figure this out thank you
You should do some gameplay videos.
hello when after installing mod organizer 2 and installing it I am going to create a new global instance and when I look for the folder of my anomaly it says that the game is not supported to manage it
I'm also having this problem. I am running a 1.5.2 install of Stalker Anomaly already. Do I have to delete everything and try again?
I’m dying inside trying to replicate your mod list. Is there a way to do it that doesn’t take hours
I have a question. How do you edit the script of a mod and remove certain lines and save it properly. I found the lines of a mod I want to remove, but I don't know how to save the changes I've made.
so if you're talking about editing a script through note pad, all you'd need to do to save it is go to the top left of the window, click "file" and then select "save" in the drop down.
If you are referring to saving it within mo2 then you need to make sure the file/config you are editing is selected in mo2 and then saved like I mentioned in the beginning of this message.
Anything edited in the actual install folder of anomaly will be overwritten by what is installed through mo2.
Hope this helps!
Hey man, i really appreciate the awesome guide but i am having some troubles, i have followed the guide until 13:50 but when i select a mod, any mod it says The content of does not look valid. and when i press OK it has a pop up saying: "Continue?: This mod was probably NOT set up correctly, most likely it will NOT work. You should first correct the directory layout using the content-tree" Do you have any idea what i did wrong or how i could fix this? I would appreciate the help, and in the mean while i will try to fix it myself. :)
Alright, for anyone experiencing the same problem i have found the solution, when trying to installing any mod that comes up with this error try to click on the arrows to show the contents then navigate through the folder until you find one that has a 'gamedata' folder, this worked (at least for me) with all the mods i had this issue with. :)
@@botmace2646 I don't understand what you mean
do you think you could do a tutorial on how to download the 1.5.2 update? this vid was excellent btw
In the works homie, just gotta finish setting up my stream PC! Storage for plenty of ideas
Can you please make a video on how to install stalker anomaly Dark Signal Mode Pack
Quick note, some of your priority is backwards. 0 loads first, then 1 overwriting any conflicts before, then 2, etc.
JSRS for example should be first (priority 0), then Blindsides should be 1 which overwrites some of JSRS, then the patch should be 3 which overrides both 0 and 1.
The way you have it set up in the video means JSRS wins all conflicts, which means Blindsides loses, and its patch is redundant and doesn't do anything (noted by the grey lightning bolt in the conflicts section)
Where you're wrong is that the mod author himself, Blindside, Kevin, who is a friend of mine instructed me to place my mods in this order, and it works, 0 issues, I had issues placing it in the order you would normally think it should be placed.
Thanks for the info though! 😁
@@wizarjry Not to be confrontational, but I work on the MO2 project and created the Stalker Anomaly plugin for it. I know how this works, and that JSRS patch is literally doing nothing, because it's redundant and clearly labeled as such (the grey lightning bolt).
If you want to learn more I'm available on the Anomaly discord, which I can see you're in as well.
@@RenderGames Much Love man, I know you're not trying to be confrontational, you're simply trying to help. I'll swap it around and see if anything changes, I just remember having it set up correctly before and having issues with some of the new audio added in from the mod not working properly, after ordering the way I have it now, everything works as intended. Not sure why that is.
👍
yo if you worked on the mo2 project can ya help me out? Stalker doesnt appear when i try to make a new instance lol
when I get to the step after I select a folder where "data should be stored," it says it is not connected toe Nexus, should I connect it?
As far as I remember I did not have to connect to Nexus
what happens if I dont create a start menu folder?
Hey man, where am i saving the mod to, the folder.
my game crashes when loading a save when trying to use mods with mo2, i only have 1 mod currently for food and drink animations. anyone know why?
same problem
Crashing at start of new game Ive turned off all mods but still nothing
what does it mean that i have " files in my overwrite mod directory "
It couldn’t get past the global source thing. It just it can’t find the thing for mo2
G'day, when i go to "Create an instance" and go to the folder where my game is it says "C;/Users/admin/Desktop/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly does not seem to contain a game mod organizer can manage" am i doing something wrong or what pls help
Same here, did you manage to fix it?
Edit: Nevermind, i updated MO2 and it worked
@@atryan1125 Ran out of patience rage quitted and broke my keyboard. Didn't got to fix the problem
do I have to unzip the files first?
Can i add mods mid playthrough? I just want to install the food and drug animations.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no, really depends on the mod. Most times the mod author will put information about this in the description of their mod
Whats the top 10 mods to download?
how do I config a mod after I installed it?
I launch the but none of my mods work
i had 29 mods installed for valheim and the game was very buggy and has weird stuff happening so i had to go throu all of them 1 by one disableing them 1 by 1 to find it.... turns out i had a old version of a mod still installed... PAINSSS
Sadge
its asking me to connect to nexus is that normal?
so wait do i need c++ thingy?
So i got the installer done and I press run and it pulls up the menu but when i press play nothing happens and the menu disappears, can i get some help?
So it says tools\checksums.md5 missing is what comes up when I press verify installation, what do I do, i'm new to stalker.
Anyone know if there is a lee enfield mod for this game?
should I make a new instance for each mod???
If you wanted to run each mod apart from each other then yes, instance is usually for different mod lists, but if you wanted one mod only in each load up of Anomaly you most certainly can do that!
Where do i find the mods at?
www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons
Doesn't work. Mod organizer can't detect Stalker Anomaly. I choose it, but some files don't show up when I am creating an instance. I could see kingdom come deliverence and made an instance then it could see Stalker anomaly, but I can't make an instance that is for anomaly. It allows me to install stalker anomaly addons to another game. Not a good modding experience.
I also only have one folder which is C. So I did not install the mod manager and the game on different folders either. Whenever :I try to install sth like this, I always have a stupid issue like this and can't figure out why. I do it step by step.
Here's the error I get when I try to browse and manually select Stalker to create an instance. "The folder C:/Stalker ANOMALY does not seem to contain a game Mod Organizer can manage. See details for the list of supported games." I had changed my stalker anomaly's name to Sdalger. I am suspecting this might be why it doesn't detect the game. I uninstalled MO2 and changed the name back to normal. Still doesn't work.
I had the same problem and I kinda solved it by changing the folder's name, my folder was named -[S.T.A.L.K.E.R]-, and I changed to only STALKER (without symbols or anything).
I had my MO2 in the same folder and apperently It affected it too, so maybe if your folder has some symbols or anything, try to remove them.
By chance, do you have one folder for Stalker and then a second folder within that first with 1.5.2? I had to select browse, then right click my stalker folder to manually open to the next level, and THEN I could properly create the instance for Mod Organizer. So it was like " C drive - games - stalker - anomaly 1.5.2 - actual stuff for the game
@@Agent_MthruZ @w_Iris_w Thanks. I will try
HI mate can you put up your mods
Its in the description homie!
I love your video, but if you say read me once more... Hahaha.
read....
@@wizarjry don't you do it...
why is this a headache man ?
I fucking suck at trying to mod man, I might just stick with vanilla.
Update: Found a different video as was worth playing for sure.
@@garrettspears5791 what vid do you find that helpful ?
16:27 I wish you actually performed the actions you were describing. Only nitpick in a great tutorial
bROOOOOO your harddrives
no worries brotha, all clean now. And they SSD's. Hard drives... 🤢

@@odelagd7436 🤔fair point
Didnt help, nothing on what the overwrite option does.
Why is this game so hard to mod? This will be the third time I've downloaded and gave up after trying to get the mod organizer to take the files. Fuck this stupid game and its confusing modding scene.
Oh well, Not for everyone I guess. Back to games that have actual mod support.
Start by reading some books chap. computers aren't made for soft brain folk.
@@Killenlife drinks some chemicals under your sink, friend. clense us of your gene pool before you have kids. =)
@@Killenlife dude literally gave up anomaly modding when it's probably the easiest to mod in comparison to Bethesda games.
True softbrain behavior
need help please reply quickly @Wizarjry when i try to extract the files to the created file i made it says not enough memory even though i have plenty please help
Warning for some people here, Virustotal (virus scan website) detected the Mod Organizer 2 file as malicious, well atleast only one did, and it thinks that its a Malicious.moderate.ml.score (trojan virus), so i do not recommend doing this.
