During Bethesda's recent livestream unveiling The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the developers confirmed the game's immediate availability. They highlighted the significant enhancements over the original release, but the absence of official mod support might come as a letdown for many fans.

Bethesda's support page on their website confirms that Oblivion Remastered will not feature official mod support. The company did not provide a specific reason for this decision, which is surprising given their strong history of supporting the modding community with tools like the Creation Kits for games such as Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield.

Despite the lack of official support, the modding community remains undeterred. Fans are successfully using the old Creation Kit from the original game to mod the remaster. On Reddit, modders are actively discussing and sharing their strategies for modding the game, which now operates on Unreal Engine 5.

Even without official mod support, enthusiasts are exploring new ways to experience Oblivion Remastered, including in virtual reality. Just three hours after its launch, fans began experimenting with the game on VR using UEVR, a tool that enables VR play for non-VR games. YouTuber LunchAndVR shared an early test video on their channel, showcasing Oblivion Remastered in VR with motion controls.

The video demonstrates the game running smoothly at 70 fps on medium graphics settings with DLSS enabled, using a setup featuring a GeForce RTX 4090, Intel Core i9-13900, and 64GB of RAM. This suggests that with further optimization, Oblivion Remastered could offer a compelling VR experience.
