A community curated add-on list referencing high quality add-ons with their conflicts. It should help you modding your Anomaly with ease.
Community Curated Add-ons List for Anomaly 1.5.1
DESCRIPTION
Anomaly modding can be complicated, especially since browsing moddb is becoming harder and harder. Among the midst of add-ons uploaded everyday, some shine brighter than others. Some add-ons are worth mentionning and to be added to your game, others are very good, but depends on your personal preferences. You can also ask yourself if that old add-on will still work on the new version of Anomaly... Either you spend some time looking for add-ons, testing them, etc... on you download mod packs, which can be missing essential add-ons, or some that you would really like. Also, some add-ons have conflicts which are hard to track and solve.
To tackle these issues, I started scaffolding a spreadsheet with the help of the Anomaly modding community. It references high quality add-ons, their compatibility, their conflicts, short descriptions and if they are "mandatory" (improving base game features) or more down to "personal preferences" (some might like, others not). This table is available online and can be commented if you have suggestions at this address:
ADD-ONS INSTALLATION
Use MO2, a mod manager where you can keep add-ons zipped, so it's a bit easier a lighter to manage. There's a nice tutorial too available here:
MO2 might complains about Addon not formated correctly or sometimes you want to add patches included in the addon but MO2 don't detect them as BAIN installers, here's how you can fix that:
PARTICIPATION
If you have suggestions you can add comments on this moddb page, or you can directly add comments on the online spreadsheet. It can help to add new add-ons, correct conflicts, add notes about potential issues.
DOWNLOADING
Downloading the archive of this "add-on", which only contains a README file, can help the page to be more referenced, especially on moddb.
DISCLAIMER
My name is only in the "mod" title because I'm the current maintainer of that spreadsheet.
Amazing, thank you!
Some of you guys go above and beyond to support this amazing game and mod :)
Wow, just wow! I'm dumbfounded by this!
Great job, thank you friend!
(buried)
BaS missing.
BaS is conflicting with many many add-ons. I added it and added few important BAS patches.
So that's why i get my Notepad and lost hours in editing
:mericcat
OMG! But my poor PC says no more...
I saw this on the discord and was waiting for someone to post it. Great stuff!
Man, that's a great thing! Many Thanks
no all weapons upgrade?
I don't see the point... making choices is part of the fun. But this is just my vision of the thing, I'll add it perhaps.
many people wanted that addon
Couldn't you add it yourself?
Nice list!!
I've been logging mods in this thread for a lot of time (mostly for my personal use): Moddb.com
Take a look, maybe you could find anything interesting to add (I think you've all listed!!).
I'm also thinking on made my "addon pack" (still doubting) like I made for COTZ. First I made an standalone script for download & update from github. This way we could use the merge, update, branch, collab pull-request... functionality of github and users only must dbl click in a bat for everything!! This is: I.imgur.com
Hi Grok! Thanks for this list. I have a question for you. The dependencies column is showing the order you should install them if you want both? As in for NDM, if you want GMR as well, you would install GMR and then NDM?
or is it showing what you think is a better mod (THIS better than> THAT)?
Order of installation :)
Good work, Grok!
This is awsome, I'm sending my gratitude <3
Looks great!
I just want to say that the work you do is priceless, especially for new modders.

This is a nice guide but I can't help but think some of it is hinky - can't seem to find any weapon part repair kits and I had to spend about an hour modifying all the mods so it would be compatible with Mod Organizer and I am getting random CTDs. Any chance you're willing to do a repack and make it easier on us plebs? :P
Btw your mods are amazing, just want to throw that out there.
Otherwise I think I'll just wait for the dust to settle a bit.
What is your mod list? What is your CTD message (check Anmomaly/appdata/*.log). Come have a chat on the discord #modding-discussion, we can help you to address those. This also provides documentation on incompatibilities, which will improve this spreadsheet.
I don't want to do a repack, mainly because it's a nightmare to maintain, and it doesn't reward add-on creators.
I don't get your comment concerning repair kit :(
I'll give it another shot with installation and hop on the discord when I have more.
As for the 'weapons part repair kits', in the Weapon overhaul the person added Weapon Part Repair kits as a way of repairing weapon components that are below 60%. I think there was a patch with the Trader Overhaul so that they still show up but I never saw any.
Many Thanks.
I think it's an excellent overview especially for modders.
However, I am unfortunately not a modder and simply overwhelmed by the multitude of mods for the new version 1.5.1.
I used your list to at least install the mods in the order they appear in your list. Of course, I also took into account the relevant dependencies and conflicts.
Some modders offer addon packs, but I wanted to assemble addons according to my needs.
Is that right about me?
I want to thank all the modders who do such a great job. Without you, we players would be completely lost.
This is what this spreadsheet is all about and you are doing it rightfully so.
Load order is not indicated per se by the table. Simply follow the dependencies and patch application order for conflicting add-ons. Not conflicting add-ons can be installed in any order.
I tried to add as many details so that people can actually sort the table by their need.
It's for sure overwhelming, but imagine browsing moddb to find all these add-ons. I try collect the significant add-ons to improve the game and classify them so that people can discover new add-ons easily. It's of course long to check every add-on of this spreadsheet but it's kind of necessary if you want the ultimate experience that fits YOUR need (and this is the issue with modpacks, they are made to fit someone else's needs).
If you succesfully installed over 20 add-ons without having a crash, then I fullfiled my task with this table :)
thank you bro you are amazing
P.R.O.S.P.E.R.I.T.Y. presets doesn't look right in the screen. Аuthor of the screenshot made a mistake during installation. Please redo this, because the screenshot discredits my P.R.O.S.P.E.R.I.T.Y. Reshade presets.
Perhaps yes. I asked people to do a comparison of multiple reshades but this was the only comparisons I found. I don't have time to do it myself as I already have my hands full with addon creation, updates, and maintenance of that sheet.
Much useful, cheers Grok!
By the way, Grokitach such as "Gros rouge qui tâche" ?
Exactly ;)

Are you God?
Great spreadsheet! Incredibly useful and basically the thing to look for after a clean 1.5.1 Anomaly install!
Fyi Grok, the Cinematic VFX addon by jdud is no longer available with the link you have in the sheet.
Why u don`t add me?(
There's no mod packs in this spread sheet.
Of course. But I also have my self-made addons, which no one made before me: Moddb.com and Moddb.com
Very awesome! How frequently is this updated?
At least once a week
how to download? 1 by 1 realy?
He has linked them all on the left-side of the sheet for you to download them there.
I believe he intends for people to mix-and-match mods found within this sheet so that you can find the right mixture for your personal preference.
This isn't a modpack where you click 1 button and play god knows what lol.
Nice One Grokitach ! Very Helpful
This is really helpful, thanks!
CVFX link is outdated, please update. UwU
some of the mandatory mods have comflicts according to the spread sheet so does that mean the game will crash or not work.
Usually there patches available. It means they will overwrite each other, so deactivating some features of each other, or yes, worst case scenario it will crash.
Hey can you include/check Arti's Armor Attachment mod.
Also, I think the Mutant Bleeding and the Burer Overhaul mods from Arszi work with the new versions, if you want to add them onto the list or test them out.
Can you also add the one-handed Sawed Off Shotgun and Machine Pistol mod
Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for taking the time!
