A simple modification that adds some female npc's among the random stalkers around the Zone, as well a single "important" (for a lack of a better word) character in the shape of a medic.
As usual, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION
Greetings stalkers! This is the first addon for anomaly I upload so is bound to have some errors here and there, but I hope nothing gamebreaking. As always feel free to report any bug you come across and I’ll do my best to fix them.
NOTE: It has come to my attention that the addon "Dux's Innumerable Character Kit" also adds female stalkers among many other things, so if you are interested in the added diversity to the npc you can try using that addon instead of this one. The amount of new npc that it adds is really impressive and the female stalkers that it brings have models that from what I've seen, it seems to me, they fit very well with the original aesthetic and are something that I would like to incorporate into this one if possible.
In short, if you are interested, give this addon a try, it may be what you are looking for.
Here is a link for the addon (yes it even has a fun acronym in its name) :
Moddb.com
What is this addon about you may be wondering. Well, as the short description says, the idea behind this is to add some variety to the stalkers of the Zone in the shape of some women NPC’s wandering around. They’re supposed to be uncommon, but you should still found a couple of them in your journeys.
The unplayable armor they wear it´s on a level similar to the regular stalker suit, so they are neither rookies nor experts/masters most of the time.
If necessary I can make a version in which they are more or less frequent, but there has to be some demand for it haha.
This NPC´s all (or actually most of them) use retextured models like the one used by Hip. The addon doesn’t change her in any way.
The factions that can have female NPC’s are:
Ecologists (they are the most common)
Loners
Freedom
Duty
Clear Sky
Mercenaries
UNISG
Monolith
Bandits (with one exception), renegades, Sin and the military are excluded.
The one exception for the bandits (kind of) is a new named character, Needle, she replaces the generic bandit medic in their base at the dark valley. She´s actually a mercenary and belongs to the trader faction, so she does not engage in combat of any sort.

![20220106010711 1]()
Since I don’t like when modders don’t say all the things they actually change with their work, another small feature that comes with this addon is that most of the UNISG operatives will have western names, and some mercenaries will also have them (without military ranks of course)
And that´s it. Nothing else to it, not the greatest addon, but there it is.
NOTES:
If for some reason you like the idea but you don´t want some of the factions to have females you can do the following: Delete the file “character_desc_general_(FACTION NAME)” in gamedata/configs/gameplay and they should be removed.
If you want to remove the character Needle you’ll need to remove the files character_desc_darkvalley.xml, also in the gameplay folder, as well as the file st_quests_darkvalley in text/eng
The addon has no Russian support because I can barely handle myself in English (not my native language)
INSTALATION AND COMPATIBILITY
Just copy the gamedata folder in to your anomaly folder. The addon is not compatible with addons that change character profiles. It’s probably not compatible with the HD models, because It was done with the vanilla Hip model as base.
Also, this addon has some changes in the System.ltx file, but it should be rather easy to merge using winmerge or something similar.
The addon can be safely installed mid game, the female stalkers will take some time before start appearing, but other than that it works just fine.
ver. 1.01: Added a patch for Trader Overhaul using the neutral traders option.
UNINSTALLING
Just delete the files, nothing else.
Sadly this addon cannot be uninstalled mid game without breaking the save. There is nothing I can do about this, the game freaks out if it´s unable to find the profile of a stalker.
TO DO:
Maybe improve the textures a little, also fix any bugs that may remain and work out compatibility issues with other addons.
Find and incorporate some extra models for more variation (working in finding SEVA models for more experienced female stalkers)

you cand do a hd model or make a compatibility patch for that
ty for the mod 👉🏼👈🏼
Hi! I can edit textures, but making a model is unfortunately, beyond the scope of my abilities. I guess I could use a model created by someone else, if it’s okay with them, of course. But even then, making new textures for all the factions it´s going to take some time so I can´t make any promises, but maybe.
ty for the effort uwu
sorry for the bad english i'm from arg xd
Arg like argentina?
If so, yo soy de argentina también jaja

ajajaja no lo puedo creer aguante argentina papa, aunque ahora se esta yendo a la mrd, *Ejem* Sáquenme de ARGENTINAAAAAAA!
If possible, you can use the Hip HD Models addon since hip has every faction variant of her outfit already. You can tweak it a little bit to add some variety. But with permission from the creator of the mod, of course.
exactly! that would be really awesome!!!!!
Yes, i'm working on it, hopefully It's going to be ready soon
-Edit:
Here are some screenshots showing some of the progress in making a patch for the HD models

looking good!!!!
how's the progress? been a few months
**** yeah bro
Идея хорошая. Поправить у себя в игре этих женских персонажей в плане брони,оружия и визуалов (они есть и хорошие) для любого модмейкера не составит труда. Тем более, основную работы ты уже сделал - "заменил" некоторых НПС на женский вариант. А вот создать отдельную группировку? И разместить ее к примеру в Темной лощине ? На той же Лесопилке. Сможешь ?
Здравствуйте, прежде всего я должен сказать, что я практически не знаю русского (причина, по которой мод только на английском), поэтому я буду зависеть от переводчика Google в этом, поэтому я заранее прошу прощения за любые трудности в общении.
Что касается вопроса, единственный NPC, который был заменен, был медиком бандитов, остальные - это новые профили, которые могут появиться вместо другого сталкера.
Создайте нового NPC и разместите его на одной из карт, я полагаю, что смогу, но мне еще предстоит познакомиться с процессом поближе.
Everything is fine with your translation. And the work is good. If I come up with something in my game and it turns out, I will share information with you.
Are you in Discord? And in which language is it better to write?
pffffff man changing some npc's its not even close to that you ask.
It requres to revork some basics of anomaly:
change IIG story, cuz they start in dark valley
Change relations
Add spawns, quests, etc or new faction ramain dead
and dont say it not takes problems to any modder till you even dont write on english, making new visuals (models) it not ez at all.
Я не автор, но сам-то ты ... сможешь ?
Me? I'm working on it. And with the IIG there is nothing to do in general! This is a separate line of quests. This is a translation from Russian to English by Yandex. А чем тебе русский не нравиться?
Very good effort.
10/10 from me
Thanks!
I like it, but I would not use it in my current game. I will wait for it to be updated and most of the errors and problems that I may have are repaired.
Thank you so much for this! I've been looking for a mod like this for ages
Glad you like the idea, I was unsure at first about how worth it was to upload this ha ha
If this tickles your fancy, check ****, it also started adding female stalkers a few updates back!

Does the voices change too? Great mod man, I've been thinking few days ago why there's no females on the zone
Yes, they're no very talkative, but they indeed do have female voices when getting hurt and all that stuff
YES!
Strange, but I can't see some stalkers, who thinks that women aren't supposed to be in the Zone.
Problem is not whether or not women should be there. Problem is you wount see women casually wandering around in any conflict zone. It also doesnt mean they dont exist in any confict zones, but it is a futile attemt to seek social justice in a place where society collapse.
Directly some kind of philosophy. Good one!
Hello! This is honestly not an attempt at any kind of "social justice" or anything like that. Maybe the addon is realistic, maybe not, the truth is that, that was not one of my priorities when I created it. In fact, the Zone is a strange place and if only physical abilities determined survival, individuals like Forester or Doc would hardly be alive, but at the end of the day they survive when groups of military men or professional mercenaries disappear without a trace. I'm not saying that those factors don't matter or that women can be as strong as men or anything like that, but being physically weaker does not prevent you from being brave, even if it leads to certain death.
Anyway, thanks for commenting, the points are valid and that is why I am not saying that the changes implemented by this addon should be incorporated into the base game or anything like that, it is only an option for those who may be interested.
If it would be possible, female stalkers should be very rare, that way you'll have women in the Zone, but in a realistic saturation where only a handful of them manage to survive in the Zone. Also make it so that not all factions have a female stalker, since Duty, Military or Mercenaries would be more conservative in their military setting, Monolith would require getting unique female voice lines, but female Loners would definitely be a thing, as well as female Freedom members, since Hip used to be one and Freedom is much more laid back so they'd be fine with having female stalkers.
Butcher himself says in one of his stories that women are not a rare occurrence in the zone, and that Nimble even met his wife in the Zone. Just that everyone looks alike under armor and helmets
Exactly. The real reason Stalker had no female characters was production/ delivery issues.
Sorry for this interference, but you appear online and I'm in a sort of hurry, so, can you tell me if this addon works in 1.5.2 (without any other addon, yet)
(buried)
It is that women should not be in the area. It's like the miniseries about Chernobyl, the only woman in it was invented, a character that didn't exist. They have to be everywhere just because!!!! The wars of the future are only fought by women, bravo!
Hola! creo que es exagerar un poco, sí, el personaje de la serie de chernobyl fue un personaje "compuesto" para representar a parte de la comunidad cientifica involucrada. Pero primero, hay poca relación entre lo que lleva a que la Zona tenga las caracteristicas que tiene en la saga de stalker y el accidente del 86. Y segundo, de nuevo, son personajes poco comunes, que está muy lejos de decir que que solo hay mujeres o algo de ese estilo.
(buried)
El único lugar del planeta donde ni en el accidente (no habia liquidadoras joder) ni después hay mujeres por la zona, pero aqui llegan tambien, con que logica? para que sean carne de cañon de los hombres de la Zona, de cualquier facción, en un sitio sin ley. La larga mano del hembrismo llega también a este juego, no basta con que los juegos actuales (ejemplo la basura Battlefield 2042), pongan irreales personajes femeninos o que en la caratula aparezcan mujeres incluso en la 1ª GM, dios santo, que puta manipulación, lo dicho las guerras del futuro solo para las tias, perfecto a dar el hocico coño, los hombres en casa viendo por la CNN como se desenvuelven.
Me parece que hablar de "hembrismo" en relación a este addon es bastante poco razonable, pero bueno, ciertamente nadie está obligado a usarlo. Por otra parte, aunque su número fue (por diferentes razones) muchísimo menor que el de los hombres, si existen registros de "liquidadoras" entre las personas que ayudaron en diversas tareas luego de la catástrofe de Chernóbil y no es muy difícil encontrar algo de información al respecto. Igual, incluso si absolutamente todos los liquidadores hubiesen sido hombres, como ya dije antes, poca relación guardaría eso con el contexto de los juegos, en fin...
Esto es un addon y como todos los addons nadie está obligado a utilizarlo en su juego si no le place. De modo que no término de entender a qué viene tanto escándalo. No soy quién para decir que tan fuera de lugar están o no las mujeres en la Zona, pero bueno, no me resultan mucho más implausibles que la abundancia de ciertas armas como los AN 96 en manos de las fuerzas de seguridad ucraniana, el número inmenso de personas que uno acaba matando en el gameplay normal, la inexplicable abundancia de ciertos tipos de mutantes o la misteriosa capacidad para sobrevivir en uno de los lugares más peligrosos de la Zona de un hombre mayor y sin equipo avanzado como el guardabosques. Al final del día me parece que juzgar a la existencia de alguna que otra mujer en la Zona como la gota que rebasa el vaso de lo aceptable es un tanto injusto.
Saludos!
Es muy ponderado lo que escribes, no quería dar replica, es cierto que es un mod, esta bien, y no hay que pensar en más.....
Quizá la culpa no la tengas tu, ni yo, sino de la absurda sociedad que con discriminaciones estúpidas nos ha enfrentado al 50% por ciento de la humanidad contra la otra, es decir hombres contra mujeres, cuando hoy la discriminación positiva aplasta a los hombres, sobre todo blancos, contra personas de color y aún más mujeres empoderadas en busca de no se que libertad, somos o no somos todos iguales?
Si, mucha gente hoy en día parece cargar demasiada animosidad infundada hacia los hombres y la masculinidad.
Pero bueno, me alegra que hayamos podido mantener un intercambio civilizado, un soplo de aire fresco en estos tiempos donde bloquear o "cancelar" a quienes no repiten exactamnete lo que queremos oir es la moneda corriente.
Saludos!
Me encanta leer esto, la palabra TOLERANCIA, existe es real, sobre todo para todos aquellos, que facilmente llaman intolerantes a todos, cuando ellos van de, presuntamente TOLERANTES, puta vida y putos humanos, mi mejor amigo mi perrita
Respeto por tu trabajo y por tu tiempo en el addon, una cosa no quita la otra, mi voto 10/10
they don't remember original game had none because the devs didn't deliver on time. There were female stalkers mentioned in the vanilla game story but the models were not provided on time.
For the moment this mod is conflicting with Trader overhaul. Specifically neutral traders in the Dark Valley. May want to do a patch later on. Love the idea though :)
Also it is conflicting with English voices complete in multiple spots.
Thanks for the info, I’m currently not using those addons, but I was thinking of trying trader overhaul, so I may do a patch soon.
Edit: A patch for the neutral traders option has been added.
Whoo great to hear :)
For the English voices I did some WinMerge work and it seemed to make it so the English male voices are playing just fine, but I haven't come across any women in the game just yet so see what happens there.
I've been sick and haven't been able to do much testing. I'll let you know what I find out later :)
