Apr 23, 2025 9:19 AM

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has launched without official mod support, but that hasn't stopped over 80 mods from appearing within 24 hours of its release. These mods include various attempts to replicate the original game's 2006 visuals, along with gameplay tweaks and an early script extender that may enable more complex modding in the future. Although Bethesda has confirmed that the remaster won't receive official modding tools, the modding community has shown a quick response, contributing numerous reshades and enhancements to recreate the nostalgic feel of the original game while players eagerly anticipate The Elder Scrolls VI.

Will Oblivion Remastered get official mod support in the future?

As of now, Bethesda has stated that there will be no official mod support for Oblivion Remastered. While this may change, currently, players are encouraged to experiment with community-made mods available on platforms like Nexus Mods.

Originally released in 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a critically acclaimed open-world RPG known for its expansive exploration, rich storytelling, and intricate quests. This remaster aims to bring modern visuals to an iconic title, rekindling the nostalgia of long-time fans while introducing the game to newcomers. With the absence of official mod tools, the vibrant modding community plays a pivotal role in enhancing the game's longevity and enjoyment.

Bethesda may not be handing out modding tools, but the community’s already turning this remaster into a love letter to the 2006 experience. It’s wild how modders can outpace official support before the game’s even had its first patch.

Classic Bethesda move—no official mod support, but the community steps up instantly anyway. Gotta love how modders keep these games alive even when the devs don’t hand them the tools. Modders working faster than Bethesda’s PR team—Oblivion’s nostalgia trip just got a whole lot shinier thanks to the community’s hustle.
