I am with RPS on this one, I voted for and fully expected the Skyrim total coversion Enderal to win Mod of the year at ModdersDB. However by a slim 1% of the vote is is the Call of Pripyat total mod, Call of Chernobyl who took first place. This mod can remove the story and allow you to wander through all the maps included in Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat, along with the various wildlife and other Stalkers. The mod also includes a variety of survival options, sleep deprivation and artifact degradation. If own Call of Pripyat you can download the mod here to find out if it as good as they say or if this is another case of Russian hackers fiddling with votes.
"Call of Chernobyl is a “freeplay” mod, which means it strips away most of the Call of Pripyat’s plot and linear progression in favour of the ability to roam anywhere and extra focus on the game’s survival elements."

A bit of an error….. there
A bit of an error….. there is a story mode as well so it’s not totally removed.
Worth playing? I have
Worth playing? I have Pripyat, mind you I haven't even played it yet let alone a mod.
I have been enjoying it.
I have been enjoying it. Being familiar with the games will be quite helpful though. The mod was really designed in mind for those who have already played through the stalker games.
One big advantage with the mod is that they have greatly improved on the stability. I’ve yet to have a single crash. However, this game needs to run on a fast SSD. You will have quite a few stuttering running on a regular hdd.

Misery is also a great mod
Misery is also a great mod for CoP. I’ve heard of this one but I’ve not tried it yet. I might do so soon.
