Help me with mods in DOOM 3 BFG

[AlvarezCrack]

I don't know where else I could ask about this, so that's why I'm asking here, it turns out that after 15 years, I want to finish doom 3, but I need some flavor, so I want to add mods, I was wondering if anyone knows of any mods with these features.
1. Do you know of any graphic mods, I see the game and many textures look bad, it looks like a 1080p game with some objects at 480p. In fact, if there is any mod that remasters it or even adds visual things, better.
2. Do you know of any mod that makes it so we don't have to be so close to the enemies for the shotgun to do damage, I'm not saying that a rifle does it, just that we can be a little further away for it to do damage, because really, you have to be too close for the shotgun to do damage.
3. Any particular mod you would recommend for someone who never made it past Mars City in the game, never got far in Doom 3, so I want to beat it once and for all, that's why I want to add mods to make it a more fun experience, but without adding new enemies or weapons, I would just appreciate if you recommend which mods to add to Doom 3 BFG

In the "guides" section you have some guides for installing the BRDoom or BFA mod.

Sorry, I speak Spanish, not English, so I have serious difficulties using guides in English, could you rather give me names of good mods, so I can look them up later with the translator?

It is worth noting that not all of these support achievements. So if you are trying to do achievements for the game, RBDoom3BFG does not work.

Thank you very much, you will understand that apart from the language I don't know about mods on PC

But my question is, what does number 1 do? I mean, I'm interested in achievements on Steam so I won't include RBDoom3BFG.

But I don't understand what the first one does, I understand the fourth one is bug fixes and adds some extra settings.
And lastly there are the graphic mods, but what do the first 2 links do? I can't understand what they are or how to install them.

DOOM BFA, RBDoom3BFG and CstDoom3BFG are all custom executables with better mod support.

For the graphic mods, choose one or the other, your choice

I understand, the first two are executables, or rather the first is executable and the second is so that when using it it remains compatible with Steam achievements, from there, it would be adding other mods, be it bug fixes, graphics, etc.
Ok, but, how do those executables work, and how do I then add mods to said executables, I don't understand anything from there on xd

Simple. Backup the original .exe file and rename the new .exe file into the name of the old one.

As for mods, just drop them in the game's folder and use the launch argument +set fs_game <mod folder>
