Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online

Bethesda has officially stated that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered does not include support for official mods. However, this hasn't deterred the passionate community of fans, who have quickly released a selection of unofficial mods.

Just hours after the surprise release of Bethesda and Virtuos' reimagined version of Oblivion for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a few community-created mods surfaced on the popular modding site, Nexus Mods. These initial mods primarily focus on small customization tweaks, yet they demonstrate the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

Despite Bethesda's usual encouragement of mod support in their titles, the company explicitly stated that Oblivion Remastered would not feature official mod support. This information was detailed in an FAQ section on their website.

One Nexus Mods user, GodschildGaming, uploaded an Iron Longsword damage mod to demonstrate that modding Oblivion Remastered is still feasible. 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."
