Description
Looking for mods to enhance your zone experience?

(WARNING: For Lootable Zone & Craftable Zone to work properly)
(you need the Localisation Files from NexusMods)
(For items in Lootable zone, you need to start a new game for them to generate properly)
(New Game might not be required now, but will probably give the best results)

Additional: Mod pack can use OXA prototype from NexusMods
(Partial OXA compatibility is now available for Lootable/Craftable)
(Be sure to get the OXA compatibility patch from Nexus)

(WARNING FOR OXA: OXA re-balances difficulty, if you are going to use OXA, please refrain from using the following 3 mods)
*Better Ballistics - Hardcore Gunplay Overhaul
*Better Ballistisc - Mutant Rebalanced
*Unforgiving Zone

OXA provides a version of difficulty on its own, so the above are not needed and might conflict with OXA's changes.


Additional: New Game Start mod (Spawn anywhereySurvival mode)

Optional: Instant aggression fix is optional, if the AI seem too hard, then throw this in.

(Additional In Game Settings) - Hardcore
*HUD settings*
*Threat indicator turned off
*Object Markers (Yellow Paint) off
*Compass off
*Reticle/aim dot off

(Last Option for Ultra Hardcore)
HUD off completely.
NO HP BAR
NO RAD BAR
NO AMMO COUNT

(Performance)
If you experience issues without running mods in stalker, some mods should not affect performance too much
if you are experience big performance hit using the mods, try uninstalling the enhanced visual effect and bullet effects
(not saying this will fix it, but it may help)

As of the 13/07/2025 mods have been changed, please resubscribe to all if you need too
