Fans are working on a Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake in Unity Engine
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/fans-are-working-on-a-resident-evil-code-veronica-remake-in-unity-engine/
After the official remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, Capcom appears to be working on Resident Evil 4 Remake. Now as you may have noticed, the team has skipped a RE game that came right after RE3. That RE game is no other than Resident Evil Code Veronica. And since Capcom is not planning to remake it, some fans decided to create their own in Unity Engine.
This fan remake of Resident Evil Code Veronica will feature 3D environments and will be a third-person shooter. The remake aims to retain the style of the original game. Naturally, it will feature reimagined versions of all maps… or at least that’s the plan.
Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake will feature two modes; Remake and Classic. The Remake Mode will feature a third-person camera and faithful expanded scenarios. On the other hand, the Classic Mode will have fixed camera angles like the original game.

This 3GB Mod for Fallout 4 overhauls all buildings of the Commonwealth
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/this-3gb-mod-for-fallout-4-overhauls-all-buildings-of-the-commonwealth/
Modder ‘Dazaster’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for Fallout 4 that overhauls all of the buildings of the Commonwealth. According to the modder, the mod includes new textures for Houses, Stores, Airports, Offices, Red Rocket Garage, Skyscrapers and Diamond City.
Do note that this Texture Pack will conflict with other mods that make any building texture changes. Thus, if you are using such mods, we suggest disabling them.
In order to overhaul the game’s textures, Dazaster used the textures from the official Bethesda HD pack as a base. The new textures are the same resolution as those, however, they are larger as they contain more detail. As such, if you can’t run the official Bethesda HD pack, you won’t be able to run this new HD Texture Pack.
>> Available from Nexus Mods.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition mod brings back console commands
https://www.pcgamer.com/mass-effect-legendary-edition-mod-brings-back-console-commands/
While Mass Effect Legendary Edition already has mods like the FOV fix, it's still not as moddable as the original games due to the absence of a toolset like ME3Explorer. That'll come with time and a better understanding of how its .pcc files—a proprietary version of Unreal Engine package files—have changed. One step along the way to making the Legendary Edition more tweakable is that the in-game console has been enabled, thanks to Mgamerz.
Previous mods to bring back the console involved renaming .dll files and were at risk of being messed with by the games' DRM. The newer mod appears to be the first tinkering directly with .pcc files, providing a replacement Engine.pcc for all three games. If used to replace the existing file in the appropriate BioGame/CookedPCConsole directory (make sure to back up the original first), you'll be open the full console by pressing ~ and a mini-console by pressing tab. (If you use tab to get rid of the UI in photo mode, note that left shift does the same thing.)
