How to install Stalker Anomaly mods

If you are wondering how to install mods or addons for Stalker Anomaly, it's not as complicated as it may seem. In short, you have two main methods to install any mods available for Stalker Anomaly. The first method is to install the mods manually, and the second is to use Mod Organizer 2. Here's how to do both methods and install mods for Stalker Anomaly. 

How to install mods manually for Stalker Anomaly 

To install mods manually, you need to download a program called 7zip first. You need 7zip to extract any mod files that you download. But if you have a program such as Winzip or one that can do the same thing, you are good to go. Once you have a program that can extract zip files, you want to extract mods into the game's folder. Doing so is how players install mods manually for Stalker Anomaly. 

See the image above for an example of where you need to extract your mods. Extract all files into the game's directory, and you will be ready to play Stalker Anomaly with mods. However, look at specific files inside mods before extracting them, as some mods can include multiple files that you need to copy separately.
