This mod lets you seamlessly fight Crusader Kings 3 battles in Mount & Blade 2
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/this-mod-lets-you-seamlessly-fight-crusader-kings-3-battles-in-mount-and-blade-2/
If you like the grand strategy of Crusader Kings 3, but wish it had a little bit of that Total War mojo and let you descend from the map to fight battles in real-time, there's a mod for that. The Crusader Blade mod takes the composition of your armies in Crusader Kings 3, transfers them to Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, and lets you fight the battle there. Then it sends the results back and you pick up your CK3 campaign right where you left off.

Blackfire Mod is now available for Crysis 2 Remastered & Crysis 3 Remastered
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/blackfire-mod-is-now-available-for-crysis-2-remastered-crysis-3-remastered/
Blackfire is considered one of the best mods for the original versions of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. And, we are happy to report that the Blackfire team has released two new versions of its mod for Crysis 2 Remastered and Crysis 3 Remastered.
Blackfire for Crysis 2 Remastered aims for a bright and colorful sunny day. This is only a lighting mod, and will completely change the look and aesthetics of the game. (...)
Similarly, Blackfire for Crysis 3 Remastered changes the TOD for pretty much all levels. For instance, the night levels now take place in daytime. Additionally, and due to these TOD changes, there are some graphical bugs and glitches. For instance, some of the game’s structures don’t cast shadow properly, so be aware that in some places the lighting can look a little bit odd.
