Mod

It seems like each week something new is added to Fortnite. It could be something as simple as skins to limited-time modes, mechanics, and more. One thing you can always count on being there is the weapons, although even those do cycle in and out of the game. Normally, weapons would only be differentiated by their rarity tier, but now you can use new weapon mods to give your favorite gun a more personal feel during a match. That said, finding and actually installing these mods isn’t easy to figure out in the heat of…

One tends not to associate the likes of Skyrim with Christmas. Which is surprising, really, given all that snow and burly men with big beards. But with the holiday season upon us, one modder decides to bring yuletide festivities to this cold slice of Tamriel. Back with another addition to your vanilla Skyrim playthrough, veteran modder JaySerpa has just released “The Gift of Saturalia – A Quest for the Holidays.” This mod encapsulates an Elder Scrolls type of winter celebration with a new quest to hopefully get you in…

The original Doom recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, making me feel quite old. As well as being an early blueprint for the FPS genre, id Software’s iconic shooter is also a popular modding playground. Sometimes, these mods harken back to even older gaming days. Modders Gokuma and Kontra Kommando have crafted a love letter to an absolute classic ’80s slasher film. Specifically, they’ve turned Doom into Friday the 13th. More specifically still, they’ve based it on the NES adaptation, turning the 1989 side-scrolling…

Sinister Statues is the name of a new mod for Elden Ring that uses a page from the Doctor Who playbook to make combat in the game more terrifying than ever.  The mod essentially turns every enemy into a Weeping Angel by making them entirely immobile whenever they’re observed. From basic mobs to major bosses, everyone is frozen in place as long as you’re looking at them. Sounds like it would make the game a lot easier, right? Well, to be fair, it probably does. In a video showing off the mod, its creator acknowledges that…

If you thought people were done playing or modding Half-Life, think again. With the game recently celebrating its 25th anniversary, Valve’s FPS is enjoying a bit more time in the limelight. To ago along with that, the community is working on a way to challenge players. Over on ModDB, user jonnymartini is in the midst of looking for volunteers. The project, which is in the early stages of development, will add a few changes to the original Half-Life. For example, there are plans to introduce a new story element. In this…

The modder behind the popular Skyrim Together multiplayer mod has abandoned plans to make a similar mod for Starfield. In a post on the official Skyrim Together discord, the developer on the mod stated that they had “ported about 70% of Skyrim Together reversed code to Starfield Together” and that there was one main problem in their opinion, which was that “this game is fucking trash.” “I didn’t realise this until after I actually started playing the damn game a week after launch. The game is boring, bland, and the main…

Researchers have discovered that a chemical modification to the synthetic messenger RNA used in therapeutics can cause the cell’s machinery to misread its instructions and result in unintended immune responses. Importantly, they’ve also discovered a solution to the problem.Messenger RNA, mRNA, tells cells in the body how to make a specific protein. It’s also an effective way of combatting disease, exemplified by its use in vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 and personalized cancer vaccines. mRNA therapeutics came about when…

When questing across the realm of Cyrodiil in Oblivion, it can be easy to forget that even the Hero of Kvatch might enjoy a snack. However, if you’re sick of wheels of cheese and shiny, green apples, a couple of people have made it possible to eat something far more enjoyable. If you’ve got that craving for some in-game pizza, hrodeberht1 and bella over on Nexus Mods may have just what you need. Their “Necro Pizza Cyrodiil” mod adds in a delivery service that gives you the option to order your character a hot, cheesy…

Anybody who’s tried setting up some mods for Starfield will know that the process is a tad bit more complicated than it was with prior mainstream Bethesda releases, like Skyrim or Fallout 4. That’s partially due to the changes made to Starfield‘s game engine, but there’s hope on the horizon. Notably, while the Vortex mod launcher hasn’t been able to handle Starfield‘s mods all that well due to them needing to be installed into several different directories, depending on their file format, an alternative has now sprung…

I’ll be honest, Lethal Company can be a pretty scary experience. The last thing I think I’d want is to see my head turned like a screw in virtual reality. But if that sounds just peachy, you may be interested in a Lethal Company VR mod. The mod is currently in development, but there’s been enough done for a short video demonstration. Twitter/X user Flat2VR shared some footage of the current build of the mod, which is under development by “DaXcess / rodabafilms.” At first blush, it looks about as typical as you can…
