Archthrones is an overhaul mod for Dark Souls 3 on a scale never seen before.

An alternate story unfolds across five unique worlds, each accessed via the Nexus of Embers.

Encounters with bosses and allies await in this hostile, but beautifully reimagined version of Lothric and other Dark Souls locales.

Also...

DS2FrameUnlimiter launched yesterday, March 13, and allows the definitive version of Dark Souls 2, Scholar of the First Sin, to be played at 120fps and beyond. According to its description on NexusMods, it disables the game's default frame limiter while fixing the speedup issues that usually occur when the frame rate goes beyond the 60fps cap.

As the mod's creator, emoose, explains, your health and stamina drain (and regen) should now match with the 60fps version, and weapons don't appear to degrade any faster than they normally would. Elements such as jump height and speed, as well as cloth physics, should also behave the same across different framerates.

The modder does stress, though, that DS2FrameUnlimiter is currently a work in progress, and

"there could still be other things in the game with their speed tied to framerate." It's also worth noting that this mod is currently only playable in offline mode, while the modder assesses its impact on multiplayer. They propose that it could be implemented at a later date, once they're sure that "it's not going to ruin online for anyone."

Looks insane, i always wondered why don't the companies pick up people like this and say, we are going to take your mod, help polish it a bit then release it as a DLC, and we will sell if for super cheap price like 10 bucks and give you 50% of the proceeds to the guy that created the mod.

Looking forward for a lot of these mods. Specially the dark souls 2 lighting overhaul, if work on that started again.
