"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 stopped the passionate modding community from stepping in—unofficial mods have already begun appearing online, just hours after the game’s surprise release across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Shortly after launch, a selection of community-created mods landed on Nexus Mods, showcasing the swift response from fans. While these early offerings are relatively minor, they serve as a testament to the enduring dedication of The Elder Scrolls fanbase. At the time of writing, an impressive 22 mods had already been published. Among them is a unique customization option allowing PC users to replace the default desktop shortcut icon with one of two images featuring Oblivion’s iconic Adoring Fan character.

Other early mods focus on quality-of-life improvements, such as skipping the Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens at startup. More gameplay-oriented tweaks have also emerged, including a mod that alters the Wizard’s Fury spell and another that removes the in-game compass—both hinting at the potential for deeper customization moving forward.

This wave of unofficial mods comes despite Bethesda's clear stance against official mod support for the Remastered edition. The developer confirmed the lack of built-in mod tools in an updated FAQ section on its official website, signaling that players would need to rely on third-party efforts if they wish to enhance or alter the game experience.

One such effort comes from Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming, who released a simple but symbolic mod adjusting the damage output of the Iron Longsword. In their words:

“This is just to prove modding is possible,” they wrote 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 it's the same concept.”
