MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Command & Conquer is being remade in C&C Generals Zero Hour
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/command-conquer-is-being-remade-in-cc-generals-zero-hour/
A team of modders is currently working on C&C Tiberian Dawn Redux, a full remake of the original Command & Conquer game in the C&C Generals Zero Hour SAGE 3D game engine. And yesterday, the team released a brand new version of it.
According to its description, Version 1.5 adds many new features, including naval warfare and much more polished gameplay. It also improves the graphics and scenery of this total conversion mod.

Special Delivery! is a new fan quest campaign for Fallout New Vegas
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/special-delivery-is-a-new-fan-quest-campaign-for-fallout-new-vegas/
Modder Davo has released a brand new fully-loaded quest campaign for Fallout New Vegas, called Special Delivery!. Special Deliver! comes with 3 hours of voice acting from 20 actors, as well as 3 hours of jazzy music on a radio station with a DJ.
Moreover, this new fan quest campaign has oodles of documents, holotapes, and terminal entries. It also has puzzles, side quests, a companion, and – as the modder claims – an “utterly superfluous and needlessly complex content “.

This cool Elden Ring Mod allows you to play as Batman
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-cool-elden-ring-mod-allows-you-to-play-as-batman/
Modder ‘az3163693’ released a pretty cool mod for Elden Ring, allowing PC gamers to play as the Dark Knight, the Batman. However, this mod does not feature any of Batman’s moves from the Arkham games. As such, and in other words, this is just a skin swap mod.
Now the good news here is this Batman mod features a cape with proper physics. So while there aren’t any custom melee combat moves, Batman will at least move with his iconic cape.

New The Witcher 3 mod adds new quests, explorable area & gameplay features
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/new-the-witcher-3-mod-adds-new-quests-explorable-area-gameplay-features/
Yudotbm has released a cool mod for The Witcher 3 that adds new quests, a new explorable area, new enemies and some new gameplay features. Since this mod adds new content to the game, we highly recommend downloading it.
Going into more details, The Witcher Alterverse adds three new quests. These three quests are Wild Orchad, Cursed Vyzima and The Devil’s Pit. Below you can also find videos from these new quests. From the looks of it, these three quests offer an hour of new gameplay.
As said, this mod also packs some new gameplay features. For instance, it introduces a Teleport Bolt via which you can reach higher places. Additionally, and by completing minor quests, a character from that quest can help you in combat (when your health is below 50%).
The Witcher Alterverse also introduces Immersive Knockdown. Thus, if a guard knocks you down, you will be unconscious and will wake up in a different place, undressed and bald. Not only that, but the mod adds an “Elden Ring/Dark Souls” NPC invade mode. Thus, and if you have more than one trophy in your Inventory, Shades Hunter will randomly spawn and try to loot/take it from you.
