Essential improvements
Patches

Modifications
- The Sky Reclamation Project (SRP) is an unofficial patch which fixes bugs that remain in the latest official patched version of the game.
- Clear Sky Complete focuses on improving graphics, sound and gameplay. A limited range of bug fixes is also included.
- Old Good Stalker Mod / Remastered Greatly improves and improves the basic product. Introduces new mutants in the Zone (which were cut out at the production stage of Clear Sky) and unique weapons and opponents. Radio to summon comrades from the faction. New character models, icons and interface elements, also improved most textures [5]
- The Faction War Mod Focuses on the faction war aspect of the game, expending each faction campaign to previously ignored areas such as swamps, eventually putting one faction in control of the whole Zone. For the purpose of the mod the main story has been completely removed, and a new character and backstory were created. The goal is complete dominion of the Zone.
- Random Mod Improves several aspects of the game, without compromising its original atmosphere. Guns and pistols received real names as well as improved textures and more extensive and detailed descriptions in the inventory. We can now carry more items, which may be useful, because the merchants now offer more goods to buy (but the weapon is a little more expensive). In addition, several new mutants and a sleeping bag to allow rest were added. [6]
