To the others: is it possible to install other mods with the Complete mod (not game-improving per sé, but like more weapons and stuff), or is it one mod at a time? Tnx.
There was a weapons pack for Complete 2009 (SHoC) but i think it never got released.
Not many mods work with Complete, my recommendation is to go for mods such as
SuperModPack ,
Oblivion Lost (SMP and OL are basically the same, but diffenret...) there you have tons of new weapons and some new features, including new mutants!.
Then you have the huge texture improvements mods, wich none of them work in my system, but they're great.
Particle Paradise Atumn Aurora Sick mods, huge improvments on graphics and i think Particle Paradise works on Gameplay too.
Then you have the "Total Conversions", such as AMK, Norodnaya Soljanka, Priboi Story, POORMANS SOUP, DMX-DKZ, Lost Trails.
All of them are Russian mods, all of them has a new Story.
AMK is sort of, the mother of the stalker mods. Many mods have AMK features on them, for some its a base for their mods. I have not tried it yet, i think i will never do it. If i have to play something that'd be "POORMANS SOUP" Mod.
NS. It makes the zone a more hostile place, new mutants, characters, story, etc. Uh, i think the storyline is the same as AMK. Buggy, a common word in the worlds of AMK based mods. Sad.
DMX DKZ is some sort of NS with more stuff. I think its good for its NOT for everyone. Storyline is the same as AMK/NS.
POORMANS SOUP , i think thats the name, i dont know. But i think it began when DMX-DKZ 1.3.4 got released. Many bugs were promised to be fixed, but since its a mod that takes the SHoC engine to its limits, well, there were bugs. Tecnobacon, this dude was making the mod i believe, he did an extraordinary job IMO. I downloaded it but had to quit due to unstability in my PC. But its SO SO recommended. Storyline i think it is AMK one, and ITS NOT A MOD FOR EVERYONE.
Priboi Story , some Russian dudes made it. I dont know, never played it. Heard its awesome but its too vanilla for me. Completly new storyline, people says theres a lot of things to do, tasks, missions, weapons to find, mistery, etc.
Secret Trails IIRC its a mod that is based on AMK. It has a new story and many people says its actually a good mod. Its a pain in the arse to find English Translations i think (One of the main problems of this mods, Ukranians and Russians develop it not exclusively for Western Population, wich is fine.). Well look at that forum and you'll find everything.
OFC these mods are for STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl.
I think this game offers a great bunch of mods, of all sorts.
Have fun.
