https://www.dsogaming.com/news/at-the-end-of-the-earth-is-a-new-total-conversion-mod-for-crysis-featuring-new-tech-shaders-models-and-more/
NervenHölle-Team has released a new version of its total conversion mod for the first Crysis game, At the end of the Earth. What’s really cool here is that this total conversion is standalone, meaning that you don’t need to own a copy of Crysis in order to play it.
In At the end of the Earth, players assume the role of Sgt. Mitchell. Mitchell and his squad eventually reach the area with anomalous nature that was never seen before – “The end of the Earth”.
The latest version of At the end of the Earth features new tech engine from Crysis Warhead, new shaders and models, fixes some landscape issues, adds new animals, removes the DX9 renderer, and packs various optimization improvements.

>>This mod is available from ModDB.

https://www.pcgamer.com/spice-up-your-no-mans-sky-next-planets-with-this-colorful-mod/
No Man's Sky modders are hard at work in the wake of the game's long-awaited Next expansion. While modders like Redmas crank out revamped vehicles and creatures (among many other impressive mods), modders like cryogen4000 are adding nice little touches to the galaxy through mods like this one, which makes ringed planets more colorful.
You can get cryogen4000's Colourful Planet Rings mod on Nexus Mods. It pretty much speaks for itself: it "makes all planet rings randomly colourful." Cryogen says he'll update the mod with new color variations, and if they're anything like the current ones, they'll be pretty darn pretty.
