from the very beginning - sorry for my not good and coarse English...
I am developing mod that adds Freeplay from start. I have removed all the "story". Also you can select your community and name at start of new game.. depending on comunity selected - different start point and loadout.
i must warn that mods status still 'work in progress' but it is already playable
for now there is two versions of my mod, normal version with ability to choose community, and "Freeplay Lite" version with freeplay only for stalkers and with no additional features
here are the links:
