After a dozen or so hours on this, i think i'm finally able to conclude that this is as close as i'm going to get to my perfect video game. And i decided to spread some knowledge for anyone looking for a open world post-apocalyptic masterpiece that is as deep as a black hole.
Call of Chernobyl is a highly polished, stand-alone mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat (you download it in a seperate folder, only requires CoP to be installed on your computer) that features all the best elements of the entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise, combining and balancing them with vast improvements all around.
The game itself is a huge S.T.A.L.K.E.R sandbox/open-world that carefully merges all the maps from the games into one complete Zone with an endless amount of aditional, well placed content to play around with. As a huge fan of the original trilogy, i've been constantly surprised by just how much effort went into improving the core experience, even the engine itself is vastly more optimized.
Best part are the addons for it. There are mods for Call of Chernobyl. My favorite, and what i would recommend starting out with are:
Just keeping it simple; modern weapon animations that complements the brilliant gunplay and all around better graphics. Needless to say that the modding community surrounding the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is huge, and there's always the change that something that comes out that blows everything away.
Now if you'll excuse me, i'll be in Chernobyl for a few hours. Gotta finish some killing contracts for Sidorovich, that bastard isn't paying me as much as i'd deserve.
Stalker: Shadow of ChernobylStalker: Shadow of Chernobyl is a first person shooter/action horror game set in a near future former U.S.S.R. radioactive area known as 'The Zone'. Released in 2007, Stalker is best known for gripping atmosphere, inspired action, and horrible bugs. Fortunately for PC gamers, there are plenty of polished and essential mods for Stalker that fix, change and add amazing new features to the core game experience. However, there are quite literally tons of mods to choose from, but many of them are not especially well thought out or tested. So before you break your game too badly, check out this handy guide to the top 5 best Stalker mods out today. 5 – Zone Reclamation ProjectStalker: Shadow of Chernobyl has a reputation for being unstable and filled with bugs, which is mostly true of the original released version. The Zone Reclamation Project started as a response to the game's instability, and is now considered to be an essential Stalker mod. With roots as an unofficial patch, the ZRP does not change or add much to Stalker's original gameplay, instead fixing and improving the more technical aspects of the game. However, there is an optional modification program that allows users to adjust the parameters of the game itself. Here are some of the optional tweaks available:
Thankfully, the ZRP is easy to use and relatively bug-free, providing a satisfying Stalker experience without any real changes to the core game. In fact, many of the following mods on this list include the ZRP in their list of credits, illustrating perfectly how the ZRP is really one of the essential Stalker mods. 4 – L.U.R.K.Number 4 on the list of the top 5 Stalker mods goes to L.U.R.K, a more recently released compilation mod. L.U.R.K keeps the original game's atmosphere and adds numerous features to its gameplay. Most notable among L.U.R.K.'s features are its 'smart terrains' that improve NPC and monster spawning and activity, alongside an overhauled weapon ballistics system and a much larger gun selection, make L.U.R.K's gunplay fantastic. However, there are some issues with L.U.R.K. that may need to be ironed out. The revamped economy is good, but may be too intense for some players, as is the case with the revamped enemy AI. Getting shot when you cannot even see your enemies is never fun, but thankfully these moments are few and far between. Despite these minor gripes, L.U.R.K. is a very good mod compilation and is a worthy addition to any Stalker best mods list. 3 – Oblivion LostProbably the most popular Stalker mod out there, Oblivion Lost is a total game rebalance and adds an incredible amount of changes to the game. First and foremost, Oblivion Lost is much harder than vanilla Stalker, and that is evident in everything from the increased monster variety, difficulty and spawns, to the random 'blowouts' of radiation emitting from the sky. Oblivion Lost isn't just about increased difficulty though, it also adds a number of fun new gameplay features, such as the ability to create 'anomaly traps' for your enemies, or deploy a minigun for your own entertainment. However, Oblivion Lost is not at all for players new to Stalker, or those who get frustrated easily. It is a very difficult mod intended for veterans of the Stalker universe, and even then it can be frustrating. Also, Oblivion Lost does not play nice with other mods, making it more of a love it or hate it affair. Still, for a delightfully new and challenging Stalker experience it is hard to go wrong with Oblivion Lost. 2 – The Stalker Mod CompilationFor Stalker fans who love the ZRP's game fixing technical improvements, but want just a little bit more, there are not too many options available. Luckily for them, the Stalker Mod Compilation hits that nice middle ground between a fixed original Stalker, and the intense overhauled Stalker of Oblivion Lost. In fact the Stalker Mod Compilation might be the best mod available for the regular casual PC gamer, as it is very customizable and incredibly easy to install. A list of optional features include:
The Stalker Mod Compilation is relatively bug free, and does not tax PC systems any more than the vanilla Stalker did. In many user's minds, the Stalker Mod Compilation is one of the best Stalker mods out today. 1 – Stalker Complete 2009The vaunted number one spot on the list of the best Stalker mods undoubtedly belongs to Stalker Complete 2009. While Stalker Complete does not add psychic mutants, miniguns, ballistic revamps or radioactive skies, what it does add has to be seen to be believed. Basically, Stalker was made by an Eastern European company in 2007, and it looks like it was made in Eastern Europe in 2007. Stalker Complete 2009 completely revamps the visual, audio, and technical structure of the game, making it look, feel and sound like it was made today by a company like Infinity Ward or Bethesda. The result is truly astonishing. Stalker Complete 2009 has a laundry list of features including:
One note of consequence though, Stalker Complete 2009 needs a very strong system to run at the highest settings, and it really only shines on the higher settings in the first place. Still, making Stalker look new and amazing is what makes Stalker Complete 2009 the best Stalker mod available today.

Hello everyone!
I noticed that starter pack 2015 was not on moddb, so I decided to post it there for convenience of the people. While going through the pack I noticed that some stuff was either old or not there. For example there is OWR3 for SoC with a patch for ZRP and looks like the pack contained older version of Absolute textures. So I added PRZ2.1 which is better looking and newer.
What is Starter Pack? Starter Pack is a collection of mods made to get rid of bugs left over patch v1.0006 and mods to enhance the visuals of a game that is soon 10 years old.
Contains:
Zone Reclamation Project - huge community effort of fixing bugs and adding some features which we're left out of the vanilla SoC, comes with a configurator.
Old Weapons Renewal 3 for SoC - better looking sounding gun models
Elder scrolls online gold edition. Photo Realistic Zone - texture pack for ground, trees, structures etc
Stalker Weather Overhaul - better looking weather and skyboxes
STALKER Shaders MAX 1.06 - better looking shaders, adds depth of field, slight motion blur
Stalker Soc Starter Pack Download
FOV Switcher v17 - Field of View switcher for stalker series, comes with instructions, works for other versions of the game
Also I added an installation guide to the file as well. I don't want to take any credit for the work that is done by the mod developers, I just thought people might find this pack useful. Whether you're completely new to the series or looking to replay SoC, Starter Pack is the way to go because it doesn't change the vanilla gameplay.
In any case, I tested this pack myself and got through the game without any issues, so everything is compatible.
Here's the link: http://www.moddb.com/mods/starter-pack Hope you enjoy and remember, friends don't let friends play COMPLETE mod.

So, I'm about halfway through the game, I just switched to the Starter pack and for whatever reason, my game keeps freezing and crashing randomly.
Currently, I'm at Borov's bandit camp, and I've kept experiencing this throughout my time here.
Any ways to fix this?
Thanks.
EDIT: And NOW, Steam is giving me an error message when trying to launch the game. Now I'll have to reinstall. This has happened THREE times. Once a few days ago, and TWICE today.

I'm really frustrated. And I would like some help if possible. Thank you.
