For the first run, Vanilla. Always. Play on Master.

I've had the game since release on DVD and have never finished STALKER. I got through to the labs then stopped playing. As it's now 2018 I decided to do my first full run through with Autumn Aurora 2.1 as it really does improve the graphics over vanilla and doesn't mess with the game much apart from the HUD and a few tweaks here and there. :)

I second Autumn Aurora. Running it myself.

What mods do i have to take for a first playthrough?

I'm not a fan of the HUD though. Any idea what files i have to delete to get the vanilla one back? I guess I could play without the HUD completely for better immersion. Sometimes it's hard pin pointing enemies in foliage, haha

You dont HAVE to use any mods for the first playthrough. The vanilla is stable and offers a good experience.
All mods will change the original graphic mood of the game, which is not necessarily bad because the original was a bit too "gloom and doom" for my taste, especially in the later parts of the game.
If you dont care about these things, complete could be a fair choice, softens the atmosphere a bit, makes the game easier a bit, and adds some convenience stuff missing from the vanilla.
You can get it here http://stalkercomplete.com/
Edit: stalkercomplete is the site i used myself and the only one i know, and it looks like it links the downloads to moddb.

Can try this one https://www.nexusmods.com/stalkershadowofchernobyl/mods/631?tab=files

You can get Stalker Complete from Nexus Mods, they have the latest version (1.4.4 iirc). I just downloaded it from there before I came here.

Complete mod is heresy, just look at what it has done to clear sky.....

I've come up with a good solution it's kinda like the Stalker Starter Pack but I think the visuals are way better in the config I'm using. I've combined visuals from Autumn Aurora 2.1, the fixes from ZRP 1.07r5, Weather Overhaul 3.1 mod and Max Shaders 1.6. The result is Vanilla gameplay with decent visuals. I'll upload the combined games ta folder it to moddb when I've finished testing it . Be an easy install for folks.
