It's like there's no instructions for it anywhere. One readme file in some mod I downloaded even says:

"Install this like you would any other mod"

Another readme file says that is I have other mods installed to *do this and this*, if I don't than change a line in the fsgame.ltx And that's it. I change the line though, and nothing in the game changed.

So is there a normal guide somewhere?

Oh and I'm also specifically looking for instruction on how to install the "Zone Reclamation Project" mod, so only a guide for that would be fine too.

First Go to the installation directory & then you will have to edit your fsgame.ltx with a notepad. Edit the line that begins with "$game_data$"
to match the following:

$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata

then create a folder in your installation directory named "gamedata"... this where you will extract all your downloaded mods.. like shaders, scripts, configs etc. that's how all mods work in both clear sky & Soc.

Each time I try to change $game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$| gamedata to $game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata I can't save it...so I don't really know what to do.

Might be a win7 issue where you have to drag the file to desktop edit there save and drag it back it to original folder. Besides most stalker mods involve just extracting gamedata folder to your main CS directory.

Well, the gamedata folders have subfolders. you only need One Gamedata folder, and just sort the mods within th folders, however since alot of Mods conflicts, its a good thing to read if they are compatible.

Ot long story short: All mods should just be placed in the same gamedata folder ^^ (but not overwrite eachothers files)
