ZRP is for bug fixes and has a great configuration tool for some game settings and optional submods, and the absolute packs are the highest quality texture packs for the vanilla game feel out there as far as I know. Personally, I would recommend using Zone Reclamation Project 1.7 (google it, it's not on Nexus), absolute nature, and absolute structures. The readmes will explain what to do if the mods are any good. Some mods will have multiple folders, and you must choose the package you want to extract to your SoC folder. Some mods will only have one folder, and you extract that whole folder. You will use 7zip to extract the appropriate folder into your Stalker SoC folder, as described by the location above. View the readme.txt files in the mod folders for installation instructions.
Download them to desktop or somewhere convenient of your choosing, and then use 7zip to open them.ĥ. Go to nexusmods or whatever website has the download links for the mods you'd like to use. Make sure you know where your SoC folder is, typically C:/Program Files (86x)/steam/steamapps/common/S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl or whatever.ģ.
