"Oblivion Remastered Mods Released Online"

by Mila May 16,2025

Bethesda has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered does not feature official mod support, yet that 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 the popular platform Nexus Mods. These initial mods, though primarily small customization options, underscore the fervor of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

PlayAt the time of this article's publication, an impressive total of 22 mods were available on the site. The first mod to be released allowed 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 enable players to skip the introductory Bethesda and Virtuos logo screens, while some, like those tweaking the Wizard's Fury spell and removing the compass, are already enhancing gameplay customization.

The early surge of mods comes despite Bethesda's announcement that Oblivion Remastered would not support official mods, a detail confirmed in an FAQ section on their website. Despite this, Nexus Mods user GodschildGaming released an Iron Longsword damage mod to demonstrate that modding is still feasible.

"This is just to prove modding is possible," they stated 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 same concept."
