Trader mod that adds in the popular and up-and-coming artist "Epakim1" and his characters and art work into the world of Tarkov. With custom quests included!
This mod requires Virtuals Custom Quest Loader in order to operate!!!
Introducing my first attempt at a mod, in homage to an artist that of whom’ artwork I extremely enjoy.
This trader mod includes just under 10 fully custom quests made possible by Virtual and his excellent and “easy” to grasp mod; VCQL.
As well as a fully custom and arranged menu of barters and tradeable items. This trader features levels 1 - 4 trades in correspondence with the players “affinity” towards the trader themself!
All artwork used for every single quest/thumbnail is artwork created by Epakim1. Check out their amazing and kickass artwork and socials at the following: EPAKIM1
Disclaimer: { EPAKIM himself has given me permission to utilize his awesome artwork for this mod, in both discord VC and DMs. }
If you have any criticisms or any sort of feedback, please leave a comment and let me know what can be improved. I will try to maintain this mod in accordance to the updates of SPT in between my work hours and such.
Have fun and get to work errand boys.
Ensure you copy and paste every folder file within the link folder.
Ensure you install VCQL FIRST then Epakim1 and select the replace folders option.

It seems i can’t progress the first quests :( The kills on labs with the faceshield dont seem to count
Thank you for the mod, I just noticed two things that I thought I’d propose:
- Maybe use Github or Codeberg or something to host your mod and link the download to that one’s. Fewer clicks and code can be forked / picked up by someone else if that’s alright with you (license is your decision)
- it’s best practice for the zip to contain a structure that users can drop right into their base SPT folder.
So it should contain “user/mods/EpaKim1” and “user/mods/Virtual’s Custom Quest Loader” like so
<zip base> └ user └ mods ├ EpaKim1 └ Virtual’s Custom Quest Loader Apart from that your zip is properly structured to also work on Linux, so thank you for that
I seem to have issues where the kills arent counting on the first quest… I had the right visor (down) and got 4 pmcs on labs but its still 0/10
Is there only six quests for this trader at the moment? After doing all quests, I’m like 0.10 trader points short to a Level 3 trader.
Hello, can you give me the code of “Friend from the east” quest? Thanks)
Cool mod 10/10. Will there be a translation into other languages? Russian, Spanish, Chinese, etc.
10/10 mod, why? cuz real drawing that’s why
anyone else cant get the mod to work ive uninstalled and re installed multiple times and the trader still wont show in my game
Hell yeah, that’s awesome. I do wonder though if there is any special reason to call her with artist’s Epakim name instead of her OC name?
