Which Mod Is Best - Stalker Complete - I Work Alone - S.M.R.T.E.R - Call Of Pripyat Reloaded

[Garrad]

So a while ago I started a thread about which mod is best for Stalker Call Of Pripyat, I listed the wrong mods and they were for SoC. So after more researching on mods I have came to these ones. I have played a bit of CoP but I want one overhaul mod to playthrough the whole game with but with so many I dunno which one. I want to keep close to the original game (Few tweaks and changes are ok) But I would like improved atmosphere,sounds and graphics. I have not finished the game yet so no spoilers please. Also from reading on reivews of Complete mod, people are saying its bad for CoP is that true?

...but you forgot the best one tho...MISERY! Its the better version of I Work Alone. Misery just makes the game harder. Like it should be played. Stalker is to easy without mods...Misery

I had listed alot of stuff about the misery mod here but it be best just to post the links...

Sorry for so much posted. I just love this mod :D

Of what I'm aware, the STALKER: complete mod series adds nothing new to the vanilla games in terms of story and such, it just improves graphics, gameplay and effects etc. So IMO start out with the complete mod and then try misery

[Garrad]

Just downloaded Misery and its amazing. It uses atmosfear 3 right?

[IMostlyLurk]

It uses its own version, but is essentially atmosfear 3

[Pvt. Randy Lahey]

Misery is without a doubt the best mod out there.
2.0 will be released in september, and will add a bunch of new features. Looks amazing so far.

[Bing Chilling]

Complete is trash, Misery is eh.
Swartz, SGM, and Redux are my favourite mods.

[Lostpancake]

SGM 2.1 is an amazing mod if you just want a crap ton of new content and fetures, I prefer it over sgm 2.2.

[SMEAGLEBUTCRACK]

I'm just downloading the misery mod now, will tell you guys how it is, but from experience the stalker complete mod for Clear Sky and SOC were the best

I played sigerous mod. Really great mod, with new missions, locations, mutants,anomalies....

[Wolf]

Stalker Complete is the buggiest mod in the world for CoP. Going to try Misery out.

[SyrupBuccaneer]

Misery is kind of disappointing. Redux is good. The sound is worth the download alone. Plus it looks gorgeous.

For keeping the original story: Complete and Atmosfear is good. Also might want to look into SMRTER.
Global mods: Misery, SGM (aka Sigerious mod), Dead City (not sure if there's an English version but there's a Russian one for sure).
