"Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online"

Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered does not feature official mod support, yet this hasn't deterred the passionate fanbase from crafting their own unofficial mods. Mere hours after the surprise release of Bethesda and Virtuos’ Oblivion reimagining on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a selection of community mods surfaced on the renowned platform, Nexus Mods. These initial offerings, primarily small customization tweaks, underscore the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

At the time of writing, an impressive total of 22 mods are already accessible on the site. The first mod to hit the scene enables PC players to customize their desktop by swapping the default Oblivion Remastered shortcut with one featuring images of the infamous Adoring Fan. Several mods also allow players to bypass the introductory Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens. Additionally, mods that alter gameplay are emerging, such as one that modifies the Wizard’s Fury spell and another that removes the in-game compass.

This early influx of mods comes despite Bethesda's announcement that Oblivion Remastered would not include official mod support, a detail confirmed in the FAQ section on their website. However, Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming released an Iron Longsword damage mod to demonstrate that modding is indeed feasible. "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."

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered hit the shelves today, marking 19 years since the original game's release. As more players dive into this remastered version, the modding community is expected to expand, offering increasingly innovative ways to personalize the gaming experience. While we anticipate the arrival of more mods, you might be interested in exploring why some players believe today's release leans more towards a remake than a remaster and the reasoning behind Bethesda's choice of the "Remastered" label.
