MODS/EMULATORS

GTA 5 After Hours SP mod lets you run nightclubs, play custom music in singleplayer
https://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-after-hours-sp-mod-lets-you-run-nightclubs-play-custom-music-in-singleplayer/
Earlier this year, GTA Online's After Hours update added player-owned nightclubs, real-world superstar DJs, and banging tunes. Jedijosh920's After Hours SP mod, on the other hand, brings the experience to the crime sim's singleplayer mode. It even lets you upload and play custom music for your dedicated revellers.
As outlined in the footage below, players can select the decor and DJ within their clubs in real-time by activating a menu at reception. From what I gather, Jedijosh920's project does not let you promote your establishments in the same way GTA Online does, however it does let you play your own custom tunes.

 

Monster Hunter: World mod adds damage breakdowns for you and your team
https://www.pcgamer.com/monster-hunter-world-mod-adds-damage-breakdowns-for-you-and-your-team/
Monster Hunter is a social series designed to be played with friends. Monster Hunter: World is no exception, and even added new social elements in the form of post-hunt emblems highlighting what teammates contributed to the hunt—things like most monster parts broken, statuses applied, or slinger shots landed. One of the most coveted emblems is for most damage dealt, which I can only assume inspired modder muriEX to create this mod which not only tracks your overall damage, but also your DPS.
As muriEX explained on Nexus Mods, the DPS overlay mod "displays the damage breakdown and DPS of your current team." During a hunt, you can see how much damage you and your teammates are doing at any given moment. After a hunt, you can see how much damage you and your teammates dealt to the monster relative to its overall health, as well as your average DPS.

 

Fallout Miami mod details story beginnings and joinable Enclave faction
https://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-miami-mod-details-story-beginnings-and-joinable-enclave-faction/
The Fallout Miami mod brings sun, sea and sand to the post-apocalypse. Its latest update explores its story beginnings, and one of its main joinable factions—The Enclave.
By following the tale of mod protagonist the Sole Survivor, Fallout Miami takes place in late 2287, ten years after the Battle of Raven Rock. The project's latest blog post explains that two years before the fall of Raven Rock, The Enclave sent a team to Miami Beach to establish a stronghold. Communications were ultimately lost, and thus begins The Enclave's involvement with the player in The Magic City.
