"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 game's dedicated fanbase from creating unofficial mods. Just hours after Bethesda and Virtuos shadow-dropped the reimagining for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a handful of community mods surfaced on popular modding site Nexus Mods.

At the time of writing, an impressive 22 mods are already available on the site. The first mod to be released allows PC players to personalize their desktop by replacing the default Oblivion Remastered shortcut with one of two images featuring the game's infamous Adoring Fan. Other mods offer options such as skipping the introduction logos of Bethesda and Virtuos, tweaking the Wizard’s Fury spell, and removing the compass, showcasing the community's eagerness to customize gameplay.

This wave of early mods comes despite Bethesda's announcement that Oblivion Remastered does not include official mod support. This information was detailed in an FAQ section on their website, prompting players to look elsewhere for mods. Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming, who uploaded an Iron Longsword damage mod, stated in the mod's description, "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."

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, launching 19 years after the original, is now available for PC and consoles. As more players dive into the game, the number of mods is expected to grow, offering increasingly unique ways to tailor the gaming experience. While we await more mods, you can explore why some players consider today's release more of a remake than a remaster and the reasoning behind Bethesda's decision to label it "Remastered."
