S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Windows game

First impression in 'Call of Pripyat' in good mood and good weather Getwallpapers.com

If there is Shire, the question is, which way to Norilsk?

If you want story plus new and exciting quests, items, enemies, maps and gameplay elements, seek out story mods.

If you want a dull trek across the entire map, doing the same things over and over, go with the freeplay mods.

I've been watching YT videos of the Anomaly / Gamma mod for the last few days. As far as I understood, Gamma is a mod based on the Anomaly mod.
Be that as it may. I have to admit, watching it made me want to dive back into the world of STALKER. But I'm not sure if Anomaly is the right mod (base) for me.

1.) The Story / "The Path
As far as I got from the videos, you replay a slightly varied version of STALKER SoC. You go to the same labs, do the same things, have almost the same main missions in parts, "the journey" ends below the NPP again etc.. Just with much more content and more intermediate steps.
I frankly don't find that really appealing. When I venture into the zone again, I want to experience a new story. Like, for example, this Youtube.com
Both scenically and graphically, I find the linked mission very impressive! A consistently so well staged mod would greatly enhance the STALKER gaming experience!
That being said, the numerous generic fetch quests pale in comparison to the side quests in CoP.

2nd) Complexity / Language barrier
I don't really know what to make of the added complexity of mods like Anomaly or Misery. For one thing, I'm not sure if they add to the game experience or just make it more unwieldy, and for another, English is not my first language. And even if I know English reasonably well, it's an additional hurdle to get into the game at all, if you have to read, translate and then understand all the texts in your head.
I would like to have a mod which, at least partly, builds on the already translated, texts of the 3 games.

3rd) outdated graphics
I've seen in some videos that even mods like Anomaly don't have very contemporary graphics. Not necessarily in terms of light & shadow and the effects. But in terms of texture resolutions, details, animations, shaders and so on.
I'd like a mod that either "ships" in a contemporary state from the get-go, or that you can extend with appropriate add-ons.

Also, I would NEVER want to go back to SoC's underground lab. At least, back then, that was a worse horror for me than playing through Dead Space I & II. Oddly enough, CoP's underground levels didn't creep me out nearly as much.

Do you guys have any tips which mods I should check out?

btw: I remember a STALKER mod video that was uploaded here on Mod DB. In this a building in Zaton was stormed which impressed me, at least at that time, from the gameplay. Among other things, because there was Game Hud a warning indicator for grenades.
Does anyone know which mod / video that was?

theres no mod?

Am i only one who cant acces the mods page?
