NEM 21 Nov am. Great guide! I feel like the "play Vanilla first" mentality comes from Bethesda's games but if you know anything about those games, they're not exactly the most stable nor complete games themselves. Fantastic guide I am also amazed that people are so strongly encourage others to play vanilla first. I didn't think even for one sec about playing vanilla after i tried this combination of mods that you mention.
I wish that my first play through was with those mods,. Kaemes 11 Jul am. Yeah, even after I installed the compatibility patch the game remains frozen during loading, I'm sure the game will look fine with absolute nature too. Reject polygons embrace voxels [author] 23 Jun pm. A compatibility patch is needed but I don't know if it's up to date anymore on ModDB. If it isn't then you'll have to ditch one. So my game works fine whenever I installed gunslinger, but after I install atmosphere 3 my game is frozen on the loading screen, fix?
Reject polygons embrace voxels [author] 4 Jun am. Hey, apologies if anyone else has brought it up before, but have you heard of the ABR 2.
It seems to combine a lot of the mods mentioned here for an enhanced vanilla experience but in one installation, and it appears to still get updated to this day.
Game is working fine and everything is running smoothly, only issue is the game freezes then crashes my entire computer whenever I take damage. Anybody have a solution?

Minimalist HUDs are a common way to improve immersion, since the default S. The mod introduces over new weapons for you to use, along with 28 new ammo types and 6 new suits as well.
Another great feature of the mod is that it has already been tested to be compatible with other popular mods like Atmosfear 3 and Absolute Nature 3 both further on this list. When it comes to weapon enhancements, the Gunslinger Mod is by far the most popular option for CoP. This mod introduces a number of movement changes to make the game feel much more realistic overall.
All weapons have been revamped with new models, reload animations, and even new sounds for a more exciting experience. Many fans consider it an essential, simply because of how the improvements just fit right in with the feel of the base game. The mod also includes Absolute Nature as a downloadable addon as well, focusing on improving environmental textures like plants, trees, and water.
The condition of an item is displayed as a gauge next to the entry in the player's inventory. If severely damaged or broken, a red HUD icon will denote this. The Zone features a limited economy, with traders and inhabitants exchanging goods and services for money and items. The game's trading system differs from the previous editions in that weapons and armor that have degraded past a certain point are unable to be sold until they are repaired, at which point the repair costs usually offset the sell price.
Traders also sell information on missions and are keen to buy valuable documents. Bandits are members of the criminal underworld who came to the Zone for different reasons; to make money by selling artifacts, hide from the law or to trade in weapons. The Zone is full of Bandits, ranging from common thugs to serious criminals, most of whom are members of one gang or another. Although the Zone gangs frequently fight amongst themselves, the criminal element still poses a serious problem for normal Stalkers.
Bandits are ruthless and generally hostile to anyone not in their gang. Though depicted in Clear Sky as a united, highly territorial faction, the Bandit population in Shadow of Chernobyl consists mainly of roving groups. Basic tools will allow the player to access the first tier and fine tools will allow access to the second tier. The calibration tool kits are only found in Pripyat and will give access to the last tier. The upgrade system is similar to that of Clear Sky except that the negatives of upgrades are removed.
Upgrading a certain element still makes alternative upgrade options unavailable. Various mutant creatures roam the Zone, most of which are hostile to Stalkers and will pursue and attack people who get too close. Artificial intelligence has been overhauled since the previous two games and now offers these creatures advanced and more realistic behavior. New mutants not present in Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky include the Burer, a dwarf-like monster in a hoodie with telekinetic powers; and the Chimera, a Cerberus-like dog with deadly strength.
Several factions reside in the Zone: Loners, Bandits, Mercenaries, Scientists, Zombified Stalkers, Military, Monolith, Duty, and Freedom, the two latter ones being ideologically motivated; control and anarchy, respectively. Despite the Yanov station cease-fire, fights will occasionally break out outside designated Safe Zones. Thankfully, a faithful Stalker modder named Domovoi has released his gem of a mod, titled simply 'More Campfire Music!
This fun little mod adds all 11 original guitar and harmonica songs from Shadow of Chernobyl and Clear Sky, as well as over 20 original tracks. All of them sound great, fit the theme of the Zone surprisingly well and are a welcome respite from your frequent forays into the wild.
More Campfire Music is a wonderful additional to the Stalker universe, and absolutely one of the best Stalker Call of Pripyat mods out today. But wait! There's more! The most important aspect of any first-person shooter is almost always the shooting part of the game. Stalker: Call of Pripyat is, of course, a survival first-person-shooter, and a great one at that.
Thus, Call of Pripyat should have great guns, ballistics, and enemy shooting AI right? Well…kind of. Call of Pripyat does have the basics down pretty well. Instead of a fast-paced, twitch-based focus, the Stalker series is more about intelligent firefights, utilizing effective approaches, cover, and controlled bursts of ammo. Unfortunately, CoP has its fair share of gun related missteps including bizzare gun names, weak sounding gun noises, and unrealistic ballistic effects.
Of course there is a mod for these ailments, and it is simply called Better Weapons. Better Weapons reworks every gun in the game to have a much more heavy, lifelike feel to it. The Ak74 is loud and in charge, with a powerful recoil mechanism, yet its bullets fly straight and far.
Even shotguns get an effective facelift with this mod, as the Spas can finally perform the heavy lifting it should for many indoor situations. Aside from more realistic ballistics and noises, Better Weapons also slightly changes the way shooting from the iron sights works.
While some may lament the loss of the added zoom-in effect of the traditional CoP iron sights, most will rejoice. Shooting from the irons is now an absolutely critical part of Stalker's gunplay, and you don't feel like you are firing from a telescopic lens for every gun.
Some of the changes and improvements included in this mod pack are:. The best part about S. R is that the list above is not even close to being comprehensive! However, there are some unfortunate side effects of a mod pack this ambitious.
First off, the mod makes the game quite unbalanced in the favor of the enemy. The AI now has what is seemingly a direct bead on your location if you so much as dare to breath loudly. Combine that with added ballistic damage and realistic bleeding effects and the lump sum of S. R's equation is one dead player character. Second, the intensity of all of these changes can be pretty overwhelming. Just when you are getting accustomed to the new and improved Zone, this mod throws something like an unpredictable and fast moving blowout that can completely destroy your enjoyable Stalker experience.
Still, the positives of this impressive Stalker CoP mod clearly outweigh the negatives. Any Stalker mod list is not complete without mentioning the modding genius known as Artistpavel, and his seminal works Stalker Complete , and Stalker Clear Sky Complete.
Both of these mods were award winning professionally done works of art. Thankfully, pavel has decided to finish his latest project, Call of Pripyat Complete, which he sums up perfectly in his own words,.
