Resident Evil 2 RE:ENHANCE V2.0 Mod Released — Massive Visual Upgrade Looks Incredible
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/resident-evil-2-reenhance-v2-0-mod-released-massive-visual-upgrade-looks-incredible/
Modder SonicB00M has spent over a year working on a new version of his RE: ENHANCE mod for Resident Evil 2. Today, he finally released Version 2.0, which brings big visual upgrades and major improvements to all the pre-rendered backgrounds.
As the modder noted, all the backgrounds look sharper and more detailed than ever. Moreover, countless small elements (like posters, signs, notice boards, and subtle wallpaper patterns) have been painstakingly recreated by hand and seamlessly integrated into the scenes.
SonicB00M has also redone the inventory and file icons. Furthermore, he improved many 3D models and door textures. Plus, there are newly upscaled effects for smoke, blood, fire, and more.
If you have the GOG version of Resident Evil 2, you can download this version of the mod. This is the easiest way to play RE2 with the RE: ENHANCE Mod. If, on the other hand, you already have the Seamless HD Project with the Classic Rebirth Patch installed, you can use this version.
It’s also worth noting that SonicB00M has released a mod that upscales all of the game’s FMV cutscenes. This mod is compatible with RE: ENHANCE. So, make sure to use both of them for the ultimate RE2 experience.

Hero modder who started the Thomas the Tank Engine meme with Skyrim thumbs his nose at 'legal threats' and 'black vans with the Mattel logo' by modding Thomas into Morrowind: 'I have issues with authority'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/hero-modder-trainwiz-who-started-the-thomas-the-tank-engine-meme-with-skyrim-thumbs-his-nose-at-legal-threats-and-black-vans-with-the-mattel-logo-by-modding-thomas-into-morrowind-i-have-issues-with-authority/
For many years now, the children's character Thomas the Tank Engine has been something of a modding phenomenon. You can find Thomas in everything from Hogwarts Legacy to Elden Ring, but it all began with a 2013 Skyrim mod that replaced all dragons with the resplendent blue engine, as well as adding sound effects from the show.
That Skyrim mod was down to game developer and modder Trainwiz (and friends), who notes in his Bluesky bio that "Mattel is out to kill me." This is because toy giant Mattel owns the rights to the Thomas the Tank Engine characters, and doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humour about Thomas mods. Thus, we arrive at a new frontier for Thomas-based heroics.
Trainwiz has popped up with a new mod for Morrowind that "replaces cliff racers with Thomas the Tank Engine." Cliff racers are flying creatures that appear all around the Vvardenfell region of Morrowind, and occasionally swarm the player. The reason that you can now get got by countless flying Thomases? Take it away Trainwiz:
"I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people."
Expanding on this thought on the Nexusmods page, Trainwiz says "I sometimes feel like I need to milk a particular joke until its inevitable demise. I will do this no matter how many legal threats, actual threats, black vans with the Mattel logo on them, or severed Barbie heads are mailed to me."
