https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/3-8gb-mod-skyrim-special-edition-overhauls-clothing-jewelry-textures/
Modder ‘Iconic’ has released a new AI-upscaled HD Texture Pack for Skyrim Special Edition that overhauls all of its clothing and jewelry textures. This HD Texture Pack is 100% lore/vanilla friendly, meaning that it retains the aesthetics and original style of the vanilla textures.
Iconic used Kartoffels’ Cleaned Skyrim SE Textures as a base, and then upscaled via an AI upscaler all clothing and jewelry textures. He then processed them with a custom photoshop filter, and saved in BC7 file format.
>> Available from Nexus Mods.

First gameplay footage from a new Resident Evil 3.5 Fan Remake
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/first-gameplay-footage-from-a-new-resident-evil-3-5-fan-remake/
Residence of Evil has shared a video, showcasing the first gameplay footage from the upcoming fan remake of Resident Evil 3.5. Resident Evil 3.5 was an early version of Resident Evil 4, featuring Leon Kennedy exploring a castle.
Created by Team Survival, Resident Evil 3.5 Revival is a total conversion & standalone mod that aims to recreate the original experience of the unreleased prototype version of Resident Evil 4. This fan-game is using the Resident Evil 4 Engine, and will combine the castle, hallucinations, and zombies. Furthermore, it will use new custom assets, like textures, animations and models.

The Convergence is a Dark Souls 3 mod that adds over 150 spells, new bosses, dozens of weapons & more
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/the-convergence-is-a-dark-souls-3-mod-that-adds-over-150-spells-new-bosses-dozens-of-weapons-more/
Last week, we informed you about a must-have mod for Dark Souls 3, BloodSouls Judgement of Ash. And today, we are bringing you another mod that adds a lot of new content to FromSoftware’s action RPG. According to its description, The Convergence aims to offer a whole new Dark Souls 3 experience with plenty of new spells, classes, items, weapons, bosses and much more. Going into more details, this mod adds over 150 spells and 12 total spell schools. Additionally, it brings dozens of new weapons, armor and tools. Not only that, but this mod packs major map edits on certain zones including adding completely new areas to Irithyll and Farron. Furthermore, The Convergence has custom bosses and custom enemies throughout the world including in both DLCs. In addition, it features a completely new alchemy system available at every bonfire where the player can craft alchemy items with reagents.
>> You'll find it at Nexus Mods.

Among Us crewmates fight Fall Guys beans in this Star Wars Battlefront 2 mod
https://www.pcgamer.com/among-us-crewmates-fight-fall-guys-beans-in-this-star-wars-battlefront-2-mod/
An unofficial Among Us crossover with Fall Guys was inevitable, considering both are popular multiplayer games featuring a buncha stubby-legged bean-shaped things scampering around and screwing each other over. My first guess wouldn't have been that this crossover would also involve Star Wars, though.
But it does! The characters from Among Us are duking it out against the beans of Fall Guys in a mod for Star Wars Battlefront 2. The mod replaces the Light Side soldiers with Fall Guys beans and the Dark Side agents with those busy little Among Us astronauts. I guess that makes sense, as Among Us imposters routinely and brutally murder each other, but having been shoved out of contention by other players on Slime Climb more times than I can count, I personally view Fall Guys beans as pure Dark Side.
>> You can get it from Nexus Mods.
