MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Starfield gets a new DLSS 3 Mod with extensive in-game settings
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/starfield-gets-a-new-dlss-3-mod-with-extensive-in-game-settings/
Modder ‘Nukem’ has released the best DLSS 3 Mod for Bethesda’s latest RPG, Starfield. This mod adds proper in-game settings/options, allowing players to adjust both DLSS 3 Super Resolution and DLSS 3 Frame Generation while playing the game.
For those unaware, PureDark’s DLSS 3 Mod adds to the game Reshade and breaks compatibility with the SpecialK Mod. It’s also a paid mod so most of you won’t really bother with it. On the other hand, the free DLSS 3 Mod from LukeFZ only allows you to change settings via a TXT file. This basically means that in order to make any changes to DLSS 3, you’ll have to quit the game, make the changes, and then re-launch Starfield.
With this latest DLSS 3 Mod, however, you can easily make changes to DLSS 3 while playing the game. Below you can find the new graphics settings.
As we can see, PC gamers can even make changes to the Upscaling Mip Bias, the Model Preset of DLSS, and its Sharpening Method. Seriously, this is the most advanced DLSS 3 menu we’ve ever seen. So, kudos to the modder for including all these options.
>> There's only one screenshot, showing the graphical options.

This Elden Ring Mod adds new classes with their own custom moves, including vampires & summoners
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/this-elden-ring-mod-adds-new-classes-with-their-own-custom-moves-including-vampires-summoners/
LilwolfXL has released an amazing new mod for Elden Ring that adds new custom classes to it, each with its own custom move sets and AOW. Among these new classes are vampires and summoners, two classes that a lot of Elden Ring fans were looking forward to.
Going into more details, the new classes that PC gamers can use are Primeval Swordsman, Vampire, Uchiha, Demigod Runt, Nightmare and Summoner.
As LilwolfXL noted, the mod also increases the game’s difficulty to give a better sense of balance. We should also note that some NPCs will give items in a different order. So yeah, make sure to also keep that in mind. Regardless of that, players will still have everything they need to progress through the game.
