The Old Country Nude Mod Removed By Take-Two

by admin August 21, 2025

Two free mods for the PC version of Mafia: The Old Country that removed the clothes from one of the game’s main female characters were removed by publisher Take-Two Interactive using a DMCA request.

As spotted by PC Gamer, a pair of NSFW nude mods for the recently released linear action game Mafia: The Old Country have been removed from popular modding site Nexus Mods by Take Two’s lawyers, according to a Nexus customer support representative on the site’s forums. One of the nude mods replaced Isabella Torrisi’s in-game model with a nude version. The other mod, “Extended Textures For Nude Isabella,” allowed players to modify the character’s model, letting them give her “bigger nipples, bigger areola,” and even offering “cute pubic hair” options, according to text still indexed on Google search results. Both of these mods were created by Nexus user norskpl.

“A takedown/DMCA request was issued by Lisa Deere [on behalf of Take Two Interactive Software, Inc.] on 08/12/2025,” posted a Nexus mod rep on the forums. “We were able to internally verify the legitimacy of this claim through the requesting of additional evidence to prove the identity of the claimant and the rights they hold over the content in question.”

Interestingly, screenshots of the mod seem to indicate that norskpl didn’t create the nude model of Isabella themselves, but instead ripped it out of a different part of The Old Country which features a nude Torrisi in bed with another character. It seems that they then tweaked the model and added options to modify it using mods. So in a way, this is like Take-Two Interactive’s lawyers DMCAing their own content. It’s an odd situation, but not surprising, as in the past, Take-Two has used DMCA requests to yank down mods they don’t approve of in other games, including Grand Theft Auto V.

Perhaps using the Mafia: The Old Country‘s own pre-existing nude model is the problem, as it is content owned by Take-Two being used in a way they likely don’t approve of. I wonder, had the modder had just replaced the don’s daughter with a nude Shrek or Thanos, if Take-Two lawyers would have shown up at all.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers mod “rollbacks” Patch 1.5’s controversial changes

by admin August 17, 2025

In news unlikely to surprise you, modders have already rolled back the “downgraded game experience” introduced with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers’ latest patch, 1.5, for PC players.

While the Steam rating was already ‘mixed’, players have wasted no time sharing their dismay, complaining in Steam reviews that the developers “sacrificed the original game’s vision to appeal to a loud, nationalist minority” and made “plot change[s that make] the story completely different, and even make some of the characters motivation pointless”.

These changes include revising boss fights so that you no longer kill them, but merely “exhaust” them, which some say “breaks the whole plot of the game”.

For its part, developer Leenzee didn’t note any significant changes were coming with the latest patch, only detailed some balancing and bug fixes, saying the patch “added some ‘Wuchang’ voice to complete the story, and added some NPC dialogues”.

Now, as noted by TheGamer, a mod for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers entitled “Rollback censorship patch – STEAM” seeks to undo those very changes.

“Wuchang 1.5 massively downgrades the game experience,” the mod developer wrote. “Most late game bosses, NPCs and enemies now get exhausted instead of dying and give you meaningless banter instead of story advancing dialogue from the original game. Basically patch 1.5 has ruined the game’s story and immersion.”

Uploaded on Friday, 15th August, the mod is already fast approaching 1000 downloads, with one user writing: “Thank you. Hate seeing artistic integrity being sacrificed on the altar of politics again”.

Ed thought Wuchang: Fallen Feathers’ new PC patch offered “improved performance and much-needed balance adjustments to tweak some of its infuriatingly cheap difficulty”.

Oblivion Remastered becomes Mudcrab Nintendogs, thanks to this beast master mod

by admin June 15, 2025

If you’re desperate for some company of a non-Adoring Fan kind as you run around Cyrodiil in Oblivion Remastered, odds are the base game’ll leave you wanting. Enter a new mod, which adds in a beast master system that’ll let you tame a furry or scaly pet.

After all, one could argue you’ve not really experienced Tamriel unless you’re having to stop after every fight to give your precious wild boar Bobo some heal minor wounds-infused tummy tickles

Beast Master is the mod in question, and the latest example of prolific ColdTyrant working to revamp 2025’s most 2006 release by giving folks new stuff to try once they’ve had their fill of shutting spooky doors.

Building on the pretty basic command creature spell from the base game, which Wood Elves have as a racial ability, he’s put together a means for you to tame any animal you come across in the wilderness via magic and have it permanently join you on your adventures as a named “combat pet”. In addition to being commandable and aiding you in fights like any regular companion, these pets can be fed grub from your inventory and interacted with in order to check on their mood.

That last bit has no impact in gameplay, so the mod’s more of the casual pet ownership experience than a full Nintendogs-style furry thing parent simulation that’ll leave you feeling even more unnerved than usual about your real life ability to look after actual human children.

Further to that end, you can only have one pet at any given time via the mod, so if you want to replace your tamed Imp named Fatso with a brown bear named Bingus or a troll named Sapphire, you’ll have to release the former back into the wild. As of right now, the mod has short lists of pre-defined names and recruitable animals for you to pick from, but ColdTyrant has indicated he’s open to adding more options based on suggestions.

Interestingly, the modder says he initially tried letting folks type in their own custom pet names, but had to ditch that option due to it being “literally impossible to rename an actor without clicking on them directly in the console” at the moment.

If you fancy giving this Beast Master mod a go, you’ll need to grab UE4SS and TesSyncMapInjector. The Oblivion Remastered Script Extender, MagicLoader 2, and NL-Tag Remover are optional installs, but not hard requirements.

This massive mod for Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord not only converts it to Sengoku-era Japan, it adds fully simulated naval battles months ahead of the base game

by admin June 14, 2025

Shokuho is hardly the first mod to adapt TaleWorlds’ Mount & Blade series to a new era of history. Mount & Blade: Warband’s startling array of total conversions practically let you command armies anywhere and, indeed, anywhen in the world. Yet not only is Shokuho a total conversion for the slightly less well-served Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord, but it is also one of the most comprehensive, transposing TaleWorlds’ historical RPG to feudal Japan in impressive depth and detail.

Shokuho’s samurai action begins in 1568, the year Oda Nobunaga marched on Kyoto and sparked two centuries of civil war and political intrigue. As in vanilla Bannerlord, the mod lets you carve a path through the period in all manner of ways, such as building up your own army, or joining the forces of a local lord to rise up the ranks.

Yet while Shokuho is built upon Bannerlord’s foundations, this is no simple reskin. Shokuho boasts a completely new map that, according to the creators, is “five times as big as vanilla [Bannerlord], with 56 towns and 181 castles,” all of which are based on settlements, clans, and kingdoms from the era.

Watch On

Moreover, as well as bundling in the popular Diplomacy Mod, which adds systems like alliances and war exhaustion, it also features several mod-specific mechanics. These include tiered castle sieges where you must fight through multiple checkpoints, and fully simulated naval battles that let you control your own ships, destroy enemy vessels with archers and gunfire, or board them with your own troops. Amusingly, Shokuho has pipped Bannerlord to the post here. TaleWorlds is working on its own naval expansion to the base game, but it won’t arrive for some time yet.

Also, considering Mount & Blade has never been a visual powerhouse, Shokuho has a remarkable sense of style. The release-date trailer published a couple of weeks back shows battles taking place across windswept grassy plains and misty forests, snow-dusted sieges of mountain fortresses, and a samurai duel beneath the golden canopy of an autumnal Japanese maple. Developer Dockside Interactive has clearly taken a leaf out of Ghost of Tsushima’s artbook, and it’s paid off.

Shokuho is available to download over on ModDB. As for Bannerlord itself, TaleWorlds’ War Sails expansion was originally scheduled to launch next week, but it has since been delayed to autumn as the developers get it ship-shape.

A two-player Elden Ring Nightreign PC Mod is already available

by admin June 1, 2025

Elden Ring Nightreign already has a duos mode mod.

Luke Yui – yes, the same Luke Yui behind the Elden Ring’s Seamless Co-op and Sekiro’s co-op mod – had a mod up and running within hours of Nightreign’s launch to support pairs of players that would rather play as a duo instead of Nightreign’s requirement to pop you into a three-player fireteam.

“There will be more to come, but whilst the current game lacks 2-player modes, this mod will be available in this state,” Yui wrote on his Nexus Mod page (thanks, Gamespot). “This mod will be expanded on in the future.

“There’s no way to get banned using this mod unless you modify it with the intent of connecting to vanilla players,” Yui added, noting that compatibility hadn’t been tested against other mods.

As Ed wrote in his review, he wouldn’t recommend Nightreign as a solo game at this point as it’s “clearly not the intended way to play”. However, it seems FromSoftware is aiming to respond to the current backlash to make solo play more feasible, with the studio previously stated it was considering a two-player option post-launch, acknowledging it was “something that was overlooked during development”.

“FromSoftware’s multiplayer spin-off is an exhilarating rush and a celebration of the studio’s prior achievements Souls veterans will devour,” Ed wrote in our Elden Ring Nightreign review.

If you’ve jumped into Elden Ring Nightreign this weekend and have struggled to find a Player 2 – and/or a Player 3 – you’re not alone. In a brief statement posted to official Elden Ring social media accounts over the weekend, FromSoftware is recommending players “restart the matchmaking process” if they’re struggling to find a co-op partner. It later also suggested players check their NAT type.

While you wait for an official update, Elden Ring Nightreign already has a two-player co-op mod

by admin June 1, 2025

Elden Ring Nightreign is, to the surprise of no one, off to a bit of a flying start (even if not everyone is completely in love with it just yet). I have no intention of diving into it just yet, in part because the solo experience doesn’t interest me all that much, and I don’t really want to be matched up with two other randos that would surely abandon me the moment I forget what my character can do. There isn’t a duos option either, the thing I’m actually after, something that was a bit forgotten about during development, but might be coming further down the line. The power of modding always comes through however, as despite only launching yesterday, there’s already a seamless co-op mod that allows for duos.

Aptly titled Seamless Co-op (Nightreign), those of you that have previously indulged in a bit of seamless co-op in other FromSoftware Soulslikes won’t be surprised to hear that it comes from none other than Yui. She made the original Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod a few years ago, alongside a Dark Souls Remastered one last month.

Watch on YouTube

Much like those two mods, this one allows you to play online with a friend without all of the usual faff you’ll find in FromSoft’s games, even if it is easier to play with others in Nightreign than usual.

Right now, the mod is pretty simple. You can either create two or three player lobbies, and play online with them. Yui says that “there will be more to come, but whilst the current game lacks 2-player modes, this mod will be available in this state.” Don’t worry about it banning you from regular online either, as it prevents your game from even connecting to any matchmaking servers in the first place. What more could you ask for!

Elden Ring Nightreign Already Has A Two-Player Co-Op Mod On PC

by admin June 1, 2025

Elden Ring Nightreign may have only just launched but a well-known modder has already released a much requested Duos mode mod that players can download from the Elden Ring Nightreign Nexus for the PC version of the game.

The mod comes from Luke Yui, the modder also responsible for the popular Seamless Co-op mod for Elden Ring, as well as other From Software games. Within a few hours of Nightreign going live, Yui shared a short video demonstrating a prototype two-player setup that wasn’t connected to matchmaking servers. It wasn’t long after that that the actual mod launched for everyone else to use.

Now Playing: Elden Ring Nightreign GameSpot Video Review

Elden Ring Nightreign is intended as an online co-op game for three players, or solo, but with no option to only play in pairs unless they match with a random third wheel. While a three-person group is quite common in online games, including Apex Legends and Destiny, the lack of a duo option has not gone down well for folks who just want to play with a friend or partner. It’s one of the criticisms highlighted amongst the negative reviews on Steam, where the game is currently sitting at a “Mixed” rating.

The lack of a Duos Mode was made clear during Elden Ring Nightreign’s announcement and game director Junya Ishizaki also explained in an IGN interview back in December that the reason behind focusing on three players was “largely a game balancing decision, rather than a game design decision.” In a later IGN interview ahead of the game’s launch, Ishizaki did however admit that duos were “kind of overlooked and neglected” and hinted that support may come post-launch.

While nothing has been officially confirmed, this is yet another example of modders stepping in to add such missing features to a game.

Elden Ring Nightreign is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, X.box One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Elden Ring Nightreign’s Most Requested Feature Gets Day One Mod

by admin May 31, 2025

Image: FromSoftware / Yui

The Steam reviews for Elden Ring Nightreign are littered with the same request: duos. You can play FromSoftware’s latest game solo or in a three-stack but there’s no option to just team up with one other person and brave the Nightlords’ collective wrath together. Fortunately, it took one modder less than 24 hours to provide a workaround for that.

The Most Sought After Elden Ring Sword Has A Storied History

The Seamless Co-op (Nightreign) mod was uploaded to Nexus Mods earlier today (via PC Gamer) and provides the unofficial support for duos that players have been requesting since FromSoftware originally confirmed it wouldn’t be including the feature at launch. All players need is to both have the mod downloaded on PC and then invite one another to a match as they normally would.

Creator LukeYui warns that fans might experience some issues since “the mod is currently in a rushed alpha state,” but I think they’ll understand. They clarify that players won’t get banned for using the Seamless Co-Op workaround. It’s also free, though the modder is taking donations for their service to the community at their Patreon. “As always, LukeYui being Gigachad and releasing goods mod for the community,” wrote one fan.

Nightreign was primarily designed with three-player squads in mind, as evidenced by the fact that solo play is especially brutal at the moment (don’t worry though, FromSoftware is patching in some buffs next week). “In putting all our efforts into that aspect, we kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect, but this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support as well,” director Junya Ishizaki told IGN last week.

I have a feeling duos will eventually arrive in an official capacity later this summer and that FromSoftware will continue to tinker with balancing the game to make it more amenable to all the different ways people want to play. The game has already sold 2 million copies. In the meantime, despite the heroic mod support on PC, duos remains out of reach for console players who will have no choice but to git gud or git friends.

If you want to play Elden Ring Nightreign in a duo, the Seamless Co-op mod is already out, dead simple to use, and it won’t mess up your vanilla save

by admin May 31, 2025

FromSoftware is apparently reserving the right to add an official two-player mode to Elden Ring Nightreign⁠—right now you can only play solo or in a trio. But Yui, the modder behind the Seamless Co-op series of Souls multiplayer hacks, has already done it again with Elden Ring Nightreign a mere day after launch.

PCG senior editor Wes Fenlon and I hopped in for a round, and it works exactly like you hope it would⁠—it’s even slightly more buttoned up than the already-great original Seamless Co-op, won’t mess up your game by drawing Easy Anticheat’s Eye of Sauron, and even opens up Nightreign for further modding.

To install Seamless Co-op, you just have to whack the files from Nexus Mods into your Elden Ring Nightreign/Game folder. It runs from its own .exe, does not interact with FromSoft’s official servers, and creates separate save files from the original game, keeping EAC out of things.

Elden Ring Nightreign’s been out less than a day, and a Souls legend is already showing off a duos mod demo for it, because of course they are

by admin May 30, 2025

Boy, that escalated quickly. Elden Ring Nightreign, as I write this, has been out less than a day. So, of course someone’s already put out a video demonstrating a duos mod for it.

To be fair, I guess Nightreign’s devs had arguably thrown down the gauntlet to the FromSoft modding community when the game’s director admitted that duos play hadn’t been a big focus in development and would only potentially get some TLC further down the line.

Anyway, modder Yui – that’s the same person responsible for Elden Ring’s Seamless Co-op mod and its various siblings for other FromSoft games – is unsurprisingly the person who’s managed to whip this out in uber-quick fashion.

In the video below spotted by IGN, they demonstrate a mod that’d allow you to hop into a Nightreign session with just two players instead of the usual three or one plucky solo Soulser that’ll have a much easier time once the next patch drops.

Watch on YouTube

“As the modification runs without connecting to the matchmaking server, it is possible to use additional mods during gameplay,” Yui explained in the vid’s description, adding that they “Made it for fun.”

As of right now, they’ve not released this mod to the public meaning you can’t play it. I’d imagine if they do intend to put it out that it’s currently a work-in-progress that’ll need a lot of extra graft to fine-tune the likes of balancing – that being the main thing FromSoft’s had to work on in order to make sure the game works just as well for solo players as it does trios.

After all, more stabby blokes, more stabs inflicted on bosses, therefore bosses need to be able to take more stabs to not die too easily, and vice versa.
