Fallout 4: Project Mojave has been canceled
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/fallout-4-project-mojave-has-been-canceled/
Back in 2021, we informed you about Project Mojave for Fallout 4. This DLC-sized mod attempted to recreate some of the areas from Fallout: New Vegas in Fallout 4. Sadly, though, its modding team has thrown in the towel and canceled it.
Project Mojave was a really ambitious total conversion mod for Fallout 4. This project required a lot of work. And, as with most big TC mods, its modding team was not prepared for the amount of hours – or even months/years – it would take to finish it. This is why we still haven’t seen a playable version of the Fallout 4: New Vegas Mod.
Now the good news here is that a new Early Access version of Project Mojave has been released. This is the final version of this mod.
Version 2.5 of the Project Mojave Revitalization Mod adds new worldspaces, armors, dungeons and OST tracks. So, right now, the mod has a total of 4 new worldspaces, each with new NPCs and assets. These four areas are Fremont, Westside, St. Mary’s Medical and Vegas Industrial.

Unlimited carry weight? Nerfing Bloodsuckers? The first mods are here for Stalker 2 and they ruin everything
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/unlimited-carry-weight-nerfing-bloodsuckers-the-first-mods-are-here-for-stalker-2-and-they-ruin-everything/
Look, I'm not one to tell someone they're playing a game wrong. There's nary a yum you'll find me yucking. You do you, man. Want to turn the Sims into a murder-house? Great. Want to talk to the monsters in Doom? Me too. Want to turn Skyrim into a pitch-perfect recreation of the single most destructive conflict in human history? I implore you to go for it.
But the first mods are already rolling in for Stalker 2, which released yesterday, and I'm beginning to wonder if some people get the point.
Take, for instance, the 15th most-popular mod at time of writing: Unlimited Carry Weight. You know what that does: it completely kneecaps Stalker 2's carry limits to let you haul as much loot as you like around The Zone. My response? What is even the point of a Stalker game where you aren't choosing between two beautiful, precious armour sets like you're picking which child you'll never see again? What's Stalker if you aren't slouching towards the nearest vendor—who is multiple kilometers away—loaded down by guns and bullets and sausages because you absolutely refuse to let loot go to waste?
(…)
Ahem. Sorry, I got carried away. Look, install whatever mods you like, but things like removing encumbrance limits and mods that make Bloodsuckers and Poltergeists into pushovers by dividing their HP by four defang The Zone, and The Zone should have fangs. Really big ones. That hurt you in real life.
That being said, a lot of the mods are just about optimising the game to eke a slightly better performance out of it. In fact, the most popular mod right now is literally called "Stalker Optimizer," and as much as Stalker fans joke about the jank being part of the experience, I would like the game to get to a point where it's not quite as stutter-happy and crash-prone as it is right now, as much as I loved the game in our Stalker 2 review.
