GOG Unveils One-Click Mods, Skyblivion Arrives This Year

GOG has just introduced its latest initiative: one-click mod installation.

The PC platform explained that since mod installation can be time-consuming, the One-Click Mods initiative allows players to browse, install, and enjoy mods faster and more easily than ever before. To streamline the process, GOG has curated a collection of premium mods and bundled them directly with their corresponding games for seamless installation.

GOG also emphasized that mods play a crucial role in preserving video games. Community-created mods can fix bugs, restore cut content like scenes, quests, and characters, and introduce fresh fan-made content.

We can't wait to get Skyblivion into your hands later this year! Thanks to our friends over @GOGcom for helping us make that easier and more accessible. https://t.co/nxk8kXx7Qr

Currently, the repository includes mods for Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete, Doom 3, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, and Fallout 4. For Heroes of Might and Magic 3, players receive an expansion that introduces new factions, campaigns, creatures, artifacts, and various quality-of-life enhancements, including a functional multiplayer lobby system. For Fallout 4, the one-click installation includes Fallout: London, a standalone story set in the UK during the events of the Fallout 4 apocalypse.

For Doom 3, the Phobos mod serves as a prequel to the original game, offering a narrative-driven, classic-style FPS experience with modern improvements. For Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, the unofficial patch resolves numerous bugs left by the original developers and restores or enhances cut content such as quests, levels, characters, and dialogue.

Additionally, the highly anticipated Skyblivion mod for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is set to join GOG later this year and will be part of the One-Click Mods project.

Skyblivion is a volunteer-driven project by the TESRenewal modding group, aiming to remake The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using Skyrim: Special Edition. Bethesda has endorsed the project, despite launching its own The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered in April. In a supportive gesture, Bethesda provided Oblivion Remastered keys to the entire Skyblivion modding team.

This initiative is the latest in a series of GOG projects focused on game preservation. Last year, GOG announced a preservation program to ensure the lasting availability of games like Resident Evil, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Witcher 2. This effort addresses growing concerns among developers and players that the shift toward online and digital-only games could render some titles completely unavailable, as seen with The Crew, which Ubisoft delisted and shut down in March 2024.
