Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online

Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered does not feature official mod support, but this hasn't stopped dedicated fans from already releasing a few unofficial mods of their own.

Just hours after Bethesda and Virtuos shadow-dropped their reimagining of Oblivion for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a handful of community mods surfaced on the popular website Nexus Mods. Although these mods mostly offer small customization options, they demonstrate the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

At the time of writing, a surprising 22 mods are available on the site. The first mod to be released allows PC players to personalize their desktop by replacing the default *Oblivion Remastered* shortcut with one of two images of the infamous Adoring Fan. Several mods enable players to skip the introduction Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens, while others, such as one tweaking the Wizard’s Fury spell and another removing the compass, already offer gameplay customization options.

This wave of early mods comes even as Bethesda, a company typically supportive of modding in its games, announced that Oblivion Remastered would not feature official mod support. This was detailed in an FAQ section on their website, confirming that players would need to look elsewhere for mods.

Meanwhile, Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming uploaded their Iron Longsword damage mod to demonstrate that Oblivion Remastered is still ripe for modding.

“This is just to prove modding is possible,” they stated in the mod’s description. “Bethesda says no mod support, I say false. It really is Unreal slapped on top of Oblivion, the data folder is nested in a lot more folders but same concept.”
