"Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online"

Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered does not include official mod support, yet this hasn't deterred the passionate fanbase from creating their own unofficial mods. Mere hours after Bethesda and Virtuos released the remastered version for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a variety of community mods surfaced on the popular platform, Nexus Mods. These initial mods, while primarily offering minor customization options, demonstrate the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

At the time of this article's publication, an impressive 22 mods were already available on Nexus Mods. The first mod to be released allows PC players to customize their desktop by replacing the standard Oblivion Remastered shortcut icon with one of two images featuring the game's notorious Adoring Fan. Several mods also enable players to bypass the introductory Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens. Others, such as a mod that modifies the Wizard’s Fury spell and another that removes the in-game compass, are beginning to explore deeper gameplay customization.

Despite Bethesda's typical support for mods in their games, they announced that Oblivion Remastered would not feature official mod support. This was clearly stated in an FAQ section on their website, prompting players to seek out unofficial modding solutions.

Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming released an Iron Longsword damage mod to illustrate that modding is still feasible for Oblivion Remastered. In the mod's description, they stated, "This is just to prove modding is possible. 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."

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, launched 19 years after the original game, is available on PC and consoles. As more players dive into the game, the number of mods is expected to grow, offering increasingly unique ways to personalize the gaming experience. While we anticipate the release of more mods, you can explore why some players consider today's release to be more of a remake than a remaster, and why Bethesda chose the "Remastered" label.
