Witcher 3 players will be familiar with the frustration of a big overhaul coming along and suddenly all your favorite mods are incompatible or buggy. That game's next-gen update made a lot of work for modders, and Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 is no different. CD Projekt disabled mods completely for the Phantom Liberty DLC launch, and only now are modders getting their work back online.
>> The article talks about some of the mods that have been updated.

New Starfield Mod improves the quality of all major NPCs

Modder ‘SavrenX’ has released a must-have HD Texture Pack for Starfield that improves all of its major NPCs. This mod basically improves the Diffuse and Rough maps of the major NPCs, resulting in much better-looking characters.
Now when we say all major NPCs, we mean the ones you can talk to or fight. We’re not talking about the random NPCs that you can find roaming the streets of the game’s cities.
Going into more details, SavrenX has improved over 2500 textures. According to the modder, rough Maps are very important because, with good-quality maps, NPC facial expressions can be more realistic and natural, especially when talking. So, the modder has overhauled in 2K all the diffuse and rough maps of the major NPCs.
