this is no game, it is evil.

Just reload from a prior save, Cyberpunk, and stop whining. Real Stalkers don't whine.
At least, not a lot.
:p

Completes really are over-hyped, and nowadays also OBSOLETE mods, that introduce more problems than they claim to fix, plus they make the games much easier than vanillas.
Just to list some of their most notable "features":
- All weapons have their accuracy increased 10-20%- All damage decreased by few percents.- Weight limit increased by 10kg, maximum being 70kg. In vanilla the Exo-suit enabled up to 80kg!- Limits NPC's eye sight distance so they can't spot you from beyond ~100 meters. =You see them always first. Said to remove enemies skill to spot you from"unrealistic distances".- Sound radius of knife and other critical sounds such as falling dead bodies, grass, and footsteps greatly reduced
- Reduced the sound distance of death cries
- Repair Kit - A special item to the game that allows you to repair weapons and armors out in the Zone. Can be purchased or found.- The bar trader and Screw now sell weapons and armor repair services. - Elite Nightvision - Black & white night vision based on the psy_antenna postprocess effect. Replaces the original UV-based blue NV, and lets you see perfectly in the darkness, be there light sources or not.
- The old, “green” night vision has much less noise and blur. NVs don't emit any audio noise anymore (=can't be heard by NPCs/mutants).
- scientific suits with 90% rad protection now feature an anti-rad injection system.- bandages auto-apply at 10% health.- enabled a tracer effect for armor-piercing bullets, making them visually distinguishable when use
- allows looting cash from bodies (CS & CoP only)- You can BRIBE hostile factions to leave you alone, even if you just massacred most of them!All the ones bolded are really lame and make me glad I did vanilla. The only ones that sound good really are the sound ones, because stealth is pretty broken to the point where it feels random.
Does the damage decrease mean the game is more bullet-spongey? Like you take less damage, but also deal less damage?

Please check Oblivion Lost 2.1 or whatever. Its much better, when i played anyway. Just keep in mind the author changed the menu screen music to something horrible that i personally changed back to the original. It also gives the option for 3rd person view which is just an option.

Necromancy, but - what is considered the best set of mods to put on Stalker these days to get it looking / playing presentably?

There are so many mods out there with vague names and vague descriptions that add up to "changed a bit of everything" that calling your mod "Complete" is an ingenious way to bring in everyone without the time and energy to compare them all.
I recently had a great run of Shadow of Chernobyl with (
https://www.moddb.com/mods/autumn-aurora-compilation-mod) Autumn Aurora. I don't think I can play vanilla again, but you'll get plenty of people recommending that.
There's also (
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly) Anomaly which I think is currently the most popular of the free-roam everything-stitched-together that grew out of Call of Chernobyl/Call of Misery. It's standalone, free to download, and has its own mod eco-system. Please don't ask me which mods are best with it.
(
https://www.moddb.com/mods/gunslinger-mod) Gunslinger was released recently for Call of Pripyat. I haven't tried it yet, but will do soon, and looking out to see which other modpacks it gets merged with.

I too played through with Autumn Aurora last summer and I loved it. On Twitter, it appears many Stalker fans swear by Anomaly these days, but I haven't tried it yet. I don't think you'll find a compelling consensus on what the "best" mod or set of mods is -- just people fighting with each other about what they swear is best.
So I guess I'm sorta seconding Neb.
In general, the Stalker mod world is a rabbit hole you could disappear into for months, so be careful. ;)
To make things more complicated, I think I may have slightly modded my Autumn Aurora install, but I don't remember for sure or exactly how. At some point I grew exasperated with all the possible permutations and decided to ignore further modding and just play.
That worked. :joke:
