"Oblivion Remastered Lacks Official Mod Support, Despite Thriving Original Mod Community"

Bethesda has officially launched The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and fans are excited about the enhanced experience this new version promises. However, a significant disappointment for many is the absence of official mod support, a feature that has been a cornerstone of Bethesda's games, including Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield. Despite the lack of official tools, the modding community is already adapting, using the original game's Creation Kit to ensure mods still function with the remastered version. Discussions on platforms like Reddit highlight how modders are navigating the challenges presented by the switch to Unreal Engine 5.

In a surprising turn of events, dedicated fans have already begun exploring Oblivion Remastered in VR. Just three hours after its launch, enthusiasts started using UEVR, a tool that enables VR play, to experience the game in a whole new dimension. YouTuber LunchAndVR shared an early test video, showcasing the game running smoothly at 70 fps on a high-end setup with medium graphics settings and DLSS. This early success suggests that with further optimizations, Oblivion Remastered could offer a robust VR experience.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (including via Xbox Game Pass), and PC. For the latest updates and more information about the game, be sure to check out our detailed articles.
