It's probably old news to anybody but me, yet I haven't seen a thread about it so what the heck.
Although "Stalker Complete" might have the overall more noticable visual enhancements I think L.U.R.K., whose 1.05 version recently was released, is THE Stalker mod. At least for me:
1. It significantly enhances gameplay and AI (sneaking now becomes a much more viable option than it was before, game feels more realistic overall)
2. ... completely changes the Stalker arsenal to a more diverse and more realistic set-up (bye bye mirrored weapons, that alone made my day)
3. ... and enhances visuals but keeping and even strengthening the dark theme of the original game.
So if you haven't already, check it out. It brought me back to a game I had lost hope for.
The only drawback for me is the sometimes too strong contrast making it hard to identify enemies even at daytime.
