MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Skyrim Gets a New Fan Expansion With The Garden of Venus
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/skyrim-gets-a-new-fan-made-expansion-with-the-garden-of-venus/
NexusMods’ ‘EnemyPK’ has released a new fan expansion location for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. This fan expansion adds a massive, magical palace to the game. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
The Garden of Venus adds a forgotten Elven magic palace for players to explore. The palace features new custom assets, Hearthfire Adoption support, interactive light sources, an animated bath, custom crafting stations, and much more.
As said, the palace features a custom marble bathing pool with animated water. Players can turn the brass valves to fill and drain the pool. Bathing grants the Cure Disease effect, so you can stay healthy without visiting a temple shrine. You can also sit with your family at the grand dining table and interact with the large feast. A custom menu lets you eat a hearty meal. It fully restores your Health, Magicka, and Stamina. It also gives you a +150 Restore buff to all three for one hour.
The ancient magic of the palace can also boost your skills. The Master’s Touch gives you a 30% boost to Smithing for one hour. The Master’s Elixir gives you a 30% boost to Alchemy and Enchanting for one hour.
The Garden of Venus also features an immersive dynamic lighting system. Players can interact with lanterns, candles, and the Grand Hearths. Lanterns and candles require 1 Troll Fat to light. On the other hand, the Grand Hearths require 3 Firewood to ignite.
All in all, this is a cool new location that players can explore. So, if you’re currently playing Skyrim, you should definitely check it out. You can download it from this link (Nexus Mods).

GTA Vice City Gets a Major Graphics Overhaul With This DX11 Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/gta-vice-city-gets-a-major-graphics-overhaul-with-this-dx11-mod/
ReeveMods has released a new graphics overhaul mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, called ImmersiveVC. This mod rebuilds the sky, the lighting, the shadows, the reflections, the water and the weather, and runs the whole game on a modern DX11 renderer instead of the DX8 it shipped with in 2002.
ImmersiveVC adds a procedural sky, volumetric clouds, and sun rays to the game. It also adds cascaded shadow maps and headlight shadow maps for night scenes. The mod also adds per-pixel lights from street lamps, vehicles, and police bars. It features world-anchored rain, reflective wet roads, and refractive lens drops. Finally, it adds live water surfaces for both the sea and swimming pools.
From the looks of it, this is a must-have mod for GTA Vice City. The only downside is that the early version is locked behind a Patreon wall. So, you’ll have to pay to play it. My guess is that the full version will be released for free once it’s complete.
At the end of the article, you can find the latest trailer for ImmersiveVC. This trailer will give you a pretty good idea of its visual enhancements. So, make sure to watch it.
