In their own words
Everest
Everest is a free, open-source mod loader and modding API for Celeste. It lets players use mods with custom maps, texture replacements and code-driven additions such as sound effects, graphics, dialogue and campaigns, without changing original game files. An in-game updater and dependency downloader help manage mods. The cross-platform Olympus installer can install mods with one click from its Download Mods section or GameBanana, or from ZIP files and folders; players can also switch between Everest and vanilla Celeste through Olympus or the title screen. Everest supports Windows, macOS and Linux and works with Celeste from itch.io, Steam and Epic Games, but not the Windows Store version. Enhanced Debug Mode offers live map reloading, code and asset reload shortcuts, an improved map viewer and console logging. The project is MIT-licensed and maintained by volunteers. Olympus is actively being worked on and may fail, and the project directs users to the Celeste Discord’s #modding_help channel for bug reports and questions.
Venice Unleashed
Venice Unleashed is a free community modding and improvement framework for Battlefield 3. It supports gameplay adjustments, new game modes, and new maps, with a spectating system for filming or competitions. Players can host private dedicated servers on their own machines and configure 60Hz or 120Hz tickrates. Other settings include suppression tuning and disabling the blue tint. Using the framework requires a legitimate, licensed, up-to-date Battlefield 3 installation; servers running downloadable-content material also require that DLC. At first login, users create a VU account and link an Origin account for ownership verification. VU runs separately from vanilla Battlefield 3, uses its own servers, and does not modify game files. Profiles are separate from Battlelog, and progression does not carry over because everything is unlocked by default. The client targets Windows, while Linux dedicated servers can run through Wine.
