"Oblivion Remastered Lacks Official Mod Support, Disappointing Fans"

Bethesda has announced the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which is now available for players to dive into. However, the gaming community was taken aback by the revelation during Bethesda's official livestream that this remastered version will not include official mod support. This decision marks a significant departure from Bethesda's traditional approach to modding, as the company has previously embraced modding communities by providing official tools like the Creation Kit for titles such as Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield.

Bethesda Confirms No Mod Support for Oblivion Remastered

During the livestream, Bethesda highlighted the enhanced graphics and gameplay improvements in Oblivion Remastered. Yet, the absence of official mod support has left many fans disappointed. Bethesda's support page confirms this stance but offers no explanation for the decision, leaving the community puzzled and searching for alternatives.

Despite the lack of official support, the modding community has not been deterred. Enthusiasts are already experimenting with the original game's Creation Kit to adapt their mods for the remastered version. Discussions on platforms like Reddit reveal that mods are currently functioning well with the game, which now operates on Unreal Engine 5. Modders are actively sharing tips and strategies to navigate the new modding landscape.

Oblivion Remastered on VR

In a testament to the community's resilience, fans have begun exploring Oblivion Remastered in VR just three hours after its launch. Using UEVR, a tool designed to enable VR play for non-VR games, players are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. YouTuber LunchAndVR shared an early test video on their channel, showcasing the game running smoothly at 70 fps on a setup featuring a GeForce RTX 4090, Intel Core i9-13900, and 64GB of RAM, with medium graphics settings and DLSS enabled. This early success suggests that with further optimization, Oblivion Remastered could offer a compelling VR experience.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (including Xbox Game Pass), and PC. For the latest updates and more information on the game, be sure to check out our detailed article below!
