STALKER Anomaly: My Top 20 FAVORITE Mods & Addons

This video has been long in the making! Here's a non-exhaustive list of some of my favorite addons for STALKER Anomaly 1.5.1. To be fair, it doesn't even cover half what I'm using but I had to start somewhere.
I did not cover most of Grok's absolutely amazing addons on purpose and you should definitely check them out, I'm gonna do a video on GAMMA soon and I'll use this opportunity to talk about them in details there.
If you want a review of the most popular/downloaded addons check this video first: • STALKER Anomaly 1.5: T...
I might do a part 2, so please share any uncommon / less known addon you love that you want to share!

2 Little things: - I did not cover most of Grok's absolutely amazing addons on purpose (and you should definitely check them out).

[@leptir1]

I love your videos, I've told you this before. This video was no exception! I think something that is missing is discussing mods relative to the "canon" experience. I recently *finally* took the advice and am playing ZRP SoC, and it makes sense. There are so many addons that are quite extensive in their changes, and it would be very cool to have an informed perspective on "how much am I changing my game". Explaining *why* something is "more" or "less" canon or "as-intended", is most welcome. I love your videos man. I'll reiterate my request for an intro-focused series on Anomaly, I'm sure you can search up my other comment where I explain in more detail. Thanks for making your videos, my friend. All the best

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

@@leptir1 I see what you mean. In my mind its actually pretty straightforward. Let's say you have a friend who wants to get started with the Stalker universe, my advice would be: - Play the 3 games, in order, either vanilla or with a very simple mod that just fixes bugs, crashes etc... to get the "real" experience and get to know the lore. - Play Anomaly, vanilla, to discover the biggest stalker mod/project to date After that it's pretty much whatever, try any other "big" mod that are all somewhat based on Anomaly anyway (EFP, RTTN, Dead Air etc...), mod your own anomaly with addons, go back to one of the original games modded, the possibilities are endless after that!

[@chiffmonkey]

Some mods that I'd recommend to anyone: Visible body: Does exactly what it says on the tin, added immersion. 4k echo detector, 4k bear detector, Better bullet casings, HD mounted PKMs, Inviting Upscaled Corpses 4k, High Quality Boxes, High Res Mutants, High Res PDA Maps: Just some standalone texture upres mods that shouldn't conflict with anything. Blood Pool + Realistic Blood + Death Animations + Dismemberment: Your enemies won't know what hit them. Loadout companions: Nice to have the option for more varied starts and can also just ignore. He is with me: Makes your followers inherit your faction while they're under your command, resolves a lot of weird engagement situations. Soundscape Overhaul: Removes the fake mutant sounds in levels and re-uses the same sounds for actual distant mutants, much more immersive and useful for route planning. Makes quiet mutants scarier too as they're harder to anticipate in comparison. Best of all is how it works for Controllers giving you some forewarning of their approach to find some cover. Companion Inventory Unlock: Great for overriding a follower's weird choice of gun. Mutant nerfs: Basically just makes Cats less ridiculously OP. Someone make a mod that removes Cats entirely please, they're total jank that doesn't match the rest of the game. European UNISG Names (or DLTX ver or included with LTTZ DC): Just makes more sense. Backpack Freedom of Movement DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): If you have animated backpack, this simply makes it so you can keep moving while opening it. No Drug Limit: Because if you're dying of thirst you shouldn't be prevented from drinking water More Starting Locations: Why not? All lore friendly. Works with Story Mode too. Rats Are Not Enemies DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): Basically just prevents NPCs from going off into the hills chasing Rats for no reason. Banjaji's Task giver's Demise DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): Makes it so you only lose rep from actually failing a quest rather than from the quest giver deciding to go on a suicide mission miles away from where you are. Bigger Surrender Chance DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): Doesn't really affect balance, just makes for some more interesting engagements. Mutant Jumping Anti DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): Makes NPCs actually able to defend themselves against Snorks. Smoother Progression DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): Removes some of the annoyance of early game upgrades and instead makes late game upgrades harder, giving you more reasons to experiment. Safe Start: Now you won't arrive in the Agroprom Underground half a second away from having your head blown off by a spawn camping Bandit. Bribe Faction Fix: By default bribes only remove bounties, this makes it so you can bribe factions to not shoot on sight allowing you to talk to them. Hideout Furniture: Worth it just for the keyboard. TB's New Stashes + No Unmarked Stashes: Tons more stash location variety and makes it so you can't cheese them. Better rewards to offset that though. Keywrapper: More types of custom keybinding allowed, extra handy if you use peripherals like Stream Deck. Storylines DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): Not a minimod at all, this is three story mods in one and they're really good. DLTX version is properly translated to English. More Dynamic Tasks DLTX (from MiniMod Repository): More freeplay content, why not?

[@timberwolfmountaineer873]

Absolutely amazing work. Thank you so much fellow Stalker. This was so nicely done, without any useless fluff, very clear and straight to the point. Keep up the good work, Maestro!

Yes! Exactly this. Small amazing addons that don't conflict with anything and make the game more enjoyable, there's nothing better than that :D

[@foo-foocuddlypoops5694]

Great list! Massive fan of *Level Transition Sim* myself, which adds somewhat realistic time jumps when you move from map to map. Really forces you to plan out long journeys, bringing extra supplies and maybe sleeping gear, since there's a good chance you can inadvertently end up outdoors at night now - something I never find happening to me in vanilla. Good to use with Dynamic Nocturnal Mutants.

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Oh I never tried it, I need to check it out! thanks!

[@Chonkems]

It really adds to immersion, since it's stated that some of the distances between transitions are multi-hour walks through old tunnels or uphill.

[@abdou.the.heretic]

Not even joking found myself stuck at around 9pm with like 5 other stalkers I was in the southern area of Dark valley, yes on vanilla with no beds and no sleeping gear. I almost lost myself just listening to the radio when they bolted for cover as a psystorm was approaching. Unfortunately a stalker I really liked, Dennis Mammoth glitched his pathfinding and... Well he's one with the zone now. 10/10.

There's a mod for Stalker Anomaly called "cozy campfires", which adds a simple feature: when sitting near a lit campfire, your health regen is boosted. Fits perfectly with all these conversations.

[@NcrXnbi]

I love pre-blowout murder, I can no longer play the game without this. People might think this makes the game easier and they are WRONG. This seriously helps if you are in an open space area with next to no cover (like the swamps or car cemetery), giving you some chance to survive by running like hell to the closest cover you can find. This also made me paranoid every time a crow caws in the game, 100% immersive.

You should do a no-trader run (preferably Sin, UNISG, or Renegade). It would suit your hoarder nature very well and it would be a great challenge (you could implement some addons, loot config changes, and self-imposed rules to make it more bearable and fun). Also, there's nothing better than seeing a KZbinr suffer in your favorite game.

How I would restrict myself when using the artifact locator would be to buy one for every area. So I buy 1, I can only keep it in one map. And when buying more I can have one for every map to make it less game breaking, more expensive

[@NomadShadow1]

In Call of Pripyat there were missions from the scientists to put sensors in the various anomalies and afterwards they could tell you if there was an artifact in that anomaly. I don't remember if those missions are in the game Anomaly or not. Maybe a system like that would work well with the locator, it only works for a given anomaly if you put a sensor in it for the scientists, and maybe you could even emissions break the sensors so they need to be repaired or replaced, or bandits could steal them and you have to go get it back for some extra brutality

[@theisgood0]

I just installed a new icon mod for the HD models mod. It also changes the contrast of the ammo etc making everything more clear it’s a great mod!

[@taylorindustries]

there is addon that makes companions stay further away from you. when you have companions and you stay still they always just keep walking into you and pushing you constantly. with this mod they no longer do that very good. another one is companions dont die mod. its balanced because its not like they have invincibility they still take damage but they get downed on the floor and get up after a while. another mod i really love is the knife in binocular and pistol slot. it lets you put a knife/pistol in the binocular slot. its very usefull because now you can have 2 weapons pistol and knife all at once. Another good one is that helmets and backpacks are seperated for all suits so you can wear helmet and backpack with nosorog but its balanced so its not base stats and very good for making builds

Can you activate the Dynamic and Nocturnal Mutant Mods to an existing play through or do you have to start a fresh game? They sound just like what Anomaly needs because I think the vanilla experience seems quite empty for the most part when it comes to mutants.

[@battlewagon15]

more modding videos please. maybe a video on patches for mods that conflict with each others

[@adamcichon6957]

Locator helped me to identify "infertile" anomalous fields, and than to find and collect artifacts, that bugged well below the ground level. In debug mode, one can write command demo_record 1 , "fly" as a free spectator camera all over the map, descent vertically on signature of bugged artifact, collect it by pressing "f" near it (it'll goes straight to the inventory). When all bugged artifacts on current map are collected, by pressing ESC camera will return to our stalker. If artifact needs to be find by detector, while "flying" press Enter, stalker will teleport to the current camera location (enable god mode as well, just in case...). Signature locator shows also "wandering" artifacts, the ones that spawn outside of anomalous fields and roll aimlessly through the map.

[@dra6o0n]

There should be a mod that removes the 'flavor text' of the description of items, and requires you to check it in details instead, which gives you the vital info you need. Or maybe shorten the description when highlighting items, and only show the full description when in details. You will notice how huge the tooltip box is when obscuring the rest of your inventory, that's why its very much delayed to 1.5-2.0 seconds... If you used instant tooltip mod, it might end up obscuring the inventory much quicker.

HD Models, Atmospherics, Sounds, Qol, with all great addon's and the like .... was just curious if that might happen someday? As I myself play different mod packs myself like Ultra Zone, G.A.M.M.A Dead Zone, Dead Air, and build my own as well base game with MO2 runs great with just a few choice mods and few of my own simple modifications. Factions ID is great can't play with out it myself I do see the links and thank you for that as well. I run all mine on Stalker Anomaly v1.52 see some of my game on graphics look on my channel.

No I'm using MO2. There's no downside to it (if used properly) as you can more easily solve bugs/conflicts if they happen. If you copy directly in mods in gamedata and there's any issue, you're pretty much good to delete everything and install again :l

@@gregstar2091 Generally every mod that has a tricky install will have instructions on the mod page. But as a general rule I will install the "main mod" (using MO2), start the game, see if it works, and then install optional files if I need them. Optional files will always need to be above the main files in the load order in MO2. Most mods with options will have an UI where you can pick the options directly (just use the option "import mod" in MO2 and it will import the zip file directly). I did a quick video tutorial on that if you want to check it out. Good luck!

[@Llamanator_]

I just got the game, should I start off with the vanilla game or should I just get all of the mods immediately?

[@Yash42189]

wow even the french are playing stalker now. stalker really blew up

[@poppycorn5715]

Have you ever tried BaS mod? It's cool

[@hnalike7778]

Part 2 please

[@artyom3171]

Dude I love ur accent

[@sailormoonwaifu2337]

some of this stuff is already in the efp 4.0 mod pack for anomaly i don’t think they have faction i’d though i need to check

[@P.K.Veiller]

Idk why but melee quick attack seem to not work - it only work with knives? Not with hatchet?

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

I never tried with something else than a knife to be fair so I have no idea!

[@Zlovia]

can you make a mod pack with all your favorite mods please :D

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

I havn't a set mod pack right now as I'm trying a ton of different things, but I might do one when I'm done!

[@vondantalingting]

I don't know about the first addon, but I normally just point the cross hair at someone and if it turns red I shoot.

[@Gartist45]

Is there any mods for stealth.?

[@GreatHunters2]

Hey, I have a question, the site of mods dont even have those how u get em!?

[@GreatHunters2]

I have just the itme animations mode that i found on site and thx a lot for this great video!

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

I put every link in the video description!

[@GreatHunters2]

@@CheekiBreekiTv Sorry, I didn't seen, my bad! THX!

[@Samurai-hh1bn]

can we please get a load order for these addons they are great as i already seen some of them but i always find trouble with load order even tho i am using MO2 and as always the videos are excelent

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

To be fair if we only talk about the addons in this video they dont conflict much with each others and could be loaded in any order. If you're using other addons then it's a completely different story, but MO2 will tell you what conflicts with what and most of the time its pretty easy to figure what should be loaded first.

[@Samurai-hh1bn]

@@CheekiBreekiTv well i am gonna try to figure out the hot mess i created thanks for responding and helping

[@mushi_marauder8038]

im tryint to use mcm and nit pickers but it says mcm overwrites loose files in nitpickers

[@xxsleipnirx1]

Dynamic Mutants is cool and all but completely breaks underground maps, f.e. when you go in Radar and you run against the clock, the usual 2 or 3 bloodsuckers get a whole lot more company and its pretty much impossible to make it without cheating or straight up endgame gear

[@enriquegarrido6975]

Funciona en la versión 1.5.1?

[@turtle_head6961]

Can I install maids icons without mo2?

[@Umbator]

I used to play Stalker so much long ago and recently discovered and downloaded Anomaly, I discovered it a few days after patch 1.5.2 dropped and so right now from what I can see I can't really use any mods, very frustrating. I feel like things like the faction ID should be incorporated to base Anomaly and just have it as an option, and things like Persistent weather why is that just not already built in, thinking about maybe rolling back to 1.5.1 so I can actually use mods but I assume my save won't be compatible.

[@bishop_tadeus]

Most addons are still compatible with 1.5.2

[@StalwartTirith]

So I don't know which of these are included in GAMMA, but do you know if these will work with that modpack? Or is this just for anomaly?

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Well GAMMA itself is a modular modpack so technically you can add/remove any mods you want to it; I say technically because most likely you'll run into conflicts, GAMMA using so many mods already, but on paper anything is possible :)

[@StalwartTirith]

@@CheekiBreekiTv Appreciate the response! Took me forever to get GAMMA to work period, so I'll just leave well enough alone, haha.

[@roblereck]

Are these compatible with the 1.5.2 update?

[@handsomejack3444]

I and other modders who have made or worked on some of the mods you mentioned have made our own stable mod collection called Escape From Tarkov. We released 3.0 recently.

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Oh yeah I made plenty of videos on EFP, it's an amazing mod and can't thank you enough for all the work you did for the community!

[@navyrayne]

Any advice for a brand new player to the whole franchise who just downloaded Anomaly?

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

Play the first 3 original games to discover the story / lore, then delve into the mods (Anomaly etc...)

[@papahxh3002]

Do another play through please :)

[@CheekiBreekiTv]

I will at some point dont worry :)

[@destez832]
