Breaking down your specific search term helps identify what you actually need:
What you are likely looking for: A file named something like:
Sherlock Holmes The Awakened [NSP] [US] [DLC]
If you are looking for a cracked NSP file (e.g., “Sherlock Holmes The Awakened 2 DLCs NSP 2”) for unauthorized use on a modded Switch, I cannot provide instructions, links, or endorsements. Piracy harms developers like Frogwares, who created this remake after financial struggles (including the loss of their previous Sherlock Holmes titles due to the Ukraine war). Please support the official release if you enjoy the game.
If you meant a legitimate NSP (Nintendo Submission Package) for developers or a second updated release (e.g., “NSP 2” = version 1.2 update), the game’s latest patch (v1.0.2) improves stability and is available via official eShop download.

NSP files are encrypted Nintendo Switch packages. Downloading them from unofficial sources carries severe risks:
If you see “The Awakened 2” or “DLC NSP 2” on a torrent site, avoid it. It does not lead to new Holmes cases.
The Switch version runs at 30 FPS, with reduced texture detail compared to other consoles but maintains the eerie lighting and shadow effects. Load times are moderate. Handheld mode is fully supported.
