Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online

Bethesda has officially stated that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered does not include official mod support. However, this hasn't deterred the game's passionate fanbase, who have already begun releasing their own unofficial mods.

Within hours of the surprise launch of Bethesda and Virtuos’ Oblivion reimagining for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a number of community mods surfaced on the popular platform, Nexus Mods. These mods, though mostly minor tweaks and customizations, underscore the dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

By the time this article was written, an impressive total of 22 mods were already available on the site. The very first mod allowed PC players to customize their desktop by swapping the default *Oblivion Remastered* shortcut icon with one featuring the game's infamous Adoring Fan. Other mods enable players to bypass the introductory Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens, while some focus on gameplay adjustments, such as tweaking the *Wizard’s Fury spell* or removing the in-game compass.

Despite Bethesda's usual encouragement of modding in their games, they explicitly stated that Oblivion Remastered would not support official mods, a fact they clarified in an FAQ section on their website.

One dedicated modder, GodschildGaming, released an Iron Longsword damage mod on Nexus Mods to demonstrate that modding the remastered version is still feasible. "This is just to prove modding is possible," they explained 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."
