Good S.T.A.L.K.E.R Mods

For those of you who have Shadows of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat, did you ever find some good mods for those games?

I used STALKER Complete on my most recent playthrough of SoC and it's visually quite something. To make the gameplay at least somewhat interesting, I set the difficulty to Master and used the Realistic Weapons mod which you can find here: http://stalker.filefront.com/file/PLRs_Realistic_Weapons;88736

I heard that complete was good and pretty stable, but, it made the game easier. I may try that one out on Call of Pripyat. I took the chance on Lost Word:Origin w/ the English language patch for SOC and I'll see how that is. Its got some new areas in it and stuff.

The game gets a distinctive flair if you use the realistic weapons mod on the Master difficulty. You can die very quickly if not careful, since the weapons are so powerful. The gunplay becomes somewhat thrilling because of that: cover, surprise attacks, tactics etc suddenly gain in importance. I found it quite satisfying, although the underground areas and the very end of the game could get a bit too harsh at times.

After waiting forever for Lost World, I can't figure out how to install the damn thing. ugh.. Nice they don't put instructions with it. So, I'm going with your suggestion and give that a whirl. I haven't played SOC for 2 years so this should be a nice replay. Thanks for the suggestions.
