After much anticipation, Bethesda officially unveiled and released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, a title that had been widely speculated in gaming circles for quite some time. However, their announcement stirred up a bit of a buzz within the modding community, as they clarified in a post that mods for Oblivion Remastered will not be endorsed by the company. To break it down simply, while Bethesda won’t create and maintain an official toolkit (creation kit) for making mods like they did for Skyrim or certain other games, this doesn’t necessarily mean that players can’t still modify the game on their own.
Even though Oblivion Remastered doesn’t come with a creation kit, it does support mods. You can download and use these mods or even attempt to create your own without worrying about any penalties or bans. However, it’s worth noting that the game might not run smoothly, so if you experience crashes for no apparent reason, Bethesda suggests disabling the mods to ensure proper functioning of the game.
Despite potential issues with early modifications, the modding community for Oblivion Remastered is already thriving vigorously. NexusMods has a variety of offerings, such as one that recovers the color grading from the initial version of Oblivion, another that transforms the desktop icon into the Adoring Fan, and a third that makes a longsword deal an immense 10,000 damage. Early users have reported smooth installation of these mods, which could be attributed to how Bethesda and Virtuos designed Oblivion Remastered as a hybrid. It’s a unique blend, running on the original Oblivion engine but also constructed using Unreal Engine 5.
At the moment, it remains unclear to modders if it will be straightforward to transfer old Oblivion mods to the remastered version, or if it’s feasible at all, given ongoing queries about how these modifications might mesh with Unreal Engine 5. However, they have found a way to open the files of Oblivion Remastered using the Oblivion Construction Set, a tool for creating and managing mods that allows developers to modify the original game’s files. Some modders believe that while they are still determining how to generate new assets and activate mods, they should be able to continue working with existing assets – such as fine-tuning existing Oblivion classes rather than crafting entirely new ones.
When there is more agreement on the functioning of Oblivion Remastered mods, we will provide clear instructions on how to install them along with a curated list of top-notch mods that are worth downloading.
