Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online

Bethesda has officially confirmed that *The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered* does not feature official mod support, but that hasn't deterred the game's dedicated fanbase. Mere hours after the surprise launch of Bethesda and Virtuos’ Oblivion reimagining for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a handful of community-created mods have surfaced on the popular site Nexus Mods. These early mods, while mostly focused on minor customization options, underscore the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

At the time of this article's publication, an impressive 22 mods are already available on the site. The first mod to be released offers PC players the ability to customize their desktop by replacing the default Oblivion Remastered shortcut with one of two images featuring the game's infamous Adoring Fan. Other mods include options to skip the introductory Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens, as well as gameplay tweaks such as modifying the Wizard’s Fury spell and removing the compass.

This wave of early mods comes despite Bethesda's announcement that *Oblivion Remastered* would not include official mod support. This was clarified in an FAQ section on their website, prompting players to seek modding solutions elsewhere.

One notable modder, Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming, released an Iron Longsword damage mod to demonstrate that modding is still very much possible. 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."
