This Need for Speed Rivals Mod removes its 30fps lock
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/need-for-speed-rivals-mod-removes-30fps-lock/
Modder ‘Brawltendo’ has released a new mod that removes the 30fps lock from Need for Speed: Rivals. By using this mod, PC gamers can finally play this NFS game at 60fps, 120fps or 144fps.
This mod for NFS: Rivals allows the game to run smoothly at over 30FPS. The best part is, it doesn’t mess up anything else in the game. So, the way the cars move and everything else stays just the way it should. Unlike some older mods that caused problems with how the game’s physics worked, this one keeps everything in check.
>> There's a 15 minutes video of this mod.

A couple of days ago, modder ‘XilaMonstrr’ released a 4K Texture Pack for Starfield that improved the quality of all spaceships. And today, the modder released two new 4K Texture Packs for landscapes and flora.
Before continuing, we should note that these packs may not be compatible with Starfield HD Overhaul or Starfield HD Reworked. After all, these mods come with their own textures for landscapes and flora. As such, you’ll have to decide which packs you’ll be using.

These two 4K Texture Packs are around 25GB in size. So, if you are interested in them, you can download them from here and here. Below you can also find some comparison screenshots. As we can see, these packs are the real deal.

>> They're divided in three groups: Graphics Mods / Texture Packs, Performance Mods and Gameplay Mods.
