The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim gets a Legacy of Kain-inspired DLC-sized Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-gets-a-legacy-of-kain-inspired-dlc-sized-mod/
Turelim Vampire has released an amazing Legacy of Kain-inspired DLC-sized fan expansion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. And since we’re not getting a new Legacy of Kain game anytime soon, I’m certain that its fans will appreciate it.
Freeport Island features a recreation of the map ‘Freeport’ from the PVP LOK game Nosgoth along with various ruined forts, temples and crypts to explore which are all inspired by Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, and Nosgoth. Furthermore, this fan expansion has 13 quests, and enemies from Nosgoth and Blood Omen. Players can also find weapons from Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2 and Soul Reaver and a few new spells.
Contrary to other mods, this one is for both the Legacy Edition and the Special Edition.

Nuclear flamingos and deep-fried elephants invade Fallout 4's Nuka World
https://www.pcgamer.com/nuclear-flamingos-and-deep-fried-elephants-invade-fallout-4s-nuka-world/
Grab the biggest shotgun you can find because there's a new reason to revisit Bethesda's final expansion for Fallout 4. The Mutant Menagerie—Nuclear Safari mod populates Nuka World with lots of new animals and creatures to hunt including giraffes, flamingos, zebras, and best of all, elephants.
Granted, these animals are all gross and mutated—the flamingos have a few extra eyes and the elephants in particular look like they'd been deep fried in orange juice—but that sort of thing tends to happen when a bunch of nukes get dropped on the world.

This mod adds the gloriously chunky PS1 Spider-Man outfits to new game
https://www.pcgamer.com/crafty-mod-adds-glorious-ps1-neversoft-spider-man-to-heros-latest-outing/
Modder low_res_jpg over on NexusMods has put together a delightful treat for fans of Neversoft's classic PS1 (and Dreamcast and PC and N64) Spider-Man game. The new mod adds 11 low-poly classic Spidey suits in all their chunky, turn of the millennium glory.
Spidey's gotten a ton of videogame adaptations over the years, but Neversoft's 2000 entry was special⁠—and that's not just the residual magic of finding it under the tree on December 25, 2000 talking. Neversoft's game was the web slinger's first time in full 3D, brought to life on the same engine as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. It also remains a rare comic book adaptation alongside the likes of 2005's Ultimate Spider-Man⁠—even the independent setting of Insomniac's game has a real movie vibe to it.
