https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-gets-an-8k-texture-pack-for-ice-surfaces/
Modder ‘Bionic’ has released an 8K Texture Pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for ice surfaces. According to the modder, this pack covers caves, glaciers and icicles.
Going into more details, the pack features IMR meshes that are customized to work with the new highly detailed textures. Additionally, it has new experimental meshes featuring no seams and randomized details.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales gets a Batman Arkham-like camera mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/marvels-spider-man-miles-morales-gets-a-batman-arkham-like-camera-mod/
The first mods for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales have started appearing online. And, in our opinion, the most interesting mod right now is the following one which introduces a Batman Arkham-like over-the-shoulder camera viewpoint.
Created by modder ‘Maxie Zeus’, this mod makes Miles Morales feel like a Batman Arkham game. The mod achieves this by getting the camera closer to our main protagonist.
>> Besides and 8 minutes long video of the mod, the article also lists another two mods to unlock suits, skills, etc.

We liked the supernatural immersive sim Weird West quite a bit when it arrived earlier this year, and now it's even better thanks to the addition of mod support in the latest patch. A handful of mods are already available for the game, including one that changes it from an isometric perspective to first person.

https://www.pcgamer.com/skyrims-tiny-head-mod-is-a-crime-against-the-laws-of-god-and-man-alike/
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Skyrim were really fucked up? Just like disastrously so?
Now you can experience just such a thing, as the mod "Cursed Skyrim - Hold the Fuck Up" will give to you an experience of outrageously long-lived RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim where everyone's head is real small. It is—to be direct—a crime against the laws of gods and men alike.
