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 passionate community of fans, who have already begun releasing a variety of unofficial mods.

Just hours after the surprise release of Bethesda and Virtuos' Oblivion Remastered on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, several community-created mods surfaced on the popular modding platform, Nexus Mods. While these mods primarily offer minor customization options, they underscore the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

This flurry of early mods comes in spite of Bethesda's announcement that Oblivion Remastered lacks official mod support. This decision was outlined in the FAQ section on their website, prompting players to seek out community-driven solutions.

Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming, who released an Iron Longsword damage mod, emphasized the modding potential of 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.”
