Seventeen Years in the Zone - Heavily Modded Anomaly ONE DAY before S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Arrives!!

In this video, just one day before S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 arrives for everyone, I showcase my modded Anomaly installation using state-of-the-art mods with gameplay in five areas. Follow my team of Ecologists through Yantar, the Wild Territory, the Meadow, Cordon, and The Great Swamps, and get a taste of the look and gameplay of heavily modded S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly, just before the much anticipated arrival of the newest official entry. Hope you enjoy!

HayZee's Anomaly Community Remaster mod pack, currently in 3.5, with 4.0 on the horizon:   / discord  

My annotated list of important mods, for DIY minded folks: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g...

A mod I made to disable the default Anomaly mask overlay but keep the SSS22 mask effects (credit to Ascii for showing me how!): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a3Jk...

My ReShade settings, based originally on Manfred's Natural Zone Neutral but with many changes (thanks Hippobot for the original preset in Atmospherics) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/10hPY...

My XPadder Profile for controlling S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly with modded features using an XInput controller: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uM9a...

Shoutouts to Ascii for SSS, PanceRide for his killer grass/trees, Paul8558 for ATO the best Anomaly texture mod ever, Hippobot for the peerless Atmospherics, Semitone for incredible Arrival mod, and many many more whose work is in Anomaly now. Gotta thank Grok for getting GAMMA together, too, what an undertaking, and making a great discord where mod makers often host their really cool additions for curious folks to try out. Thanks to HayZee for putting together H.A.C.R. and staying on top of bug fixing etc. as we go, adding more all the time - great work man. Hundreds, maybe thousands at this point have their hands in all this that we can do, in some way, building on what others built on and so on, and so on, so thank you to everyone in the modding community going all the way back to SHoC days!!

Thanks to everyone who loves S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for the gaming community we have. May S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 live up to all our hopes for the game and the series!
