Best Oblivion Remastered mods worth installing. Fixes, upgrades, and tweaks that make the game way better

by

Initially, I was skeptical about it, but indeed, the rumors proved accurate. The Oblivion Remastered hit the shelves yesterday, immediately following Bethesda’s live stream. Interestingly enough, the Deluxe Edition does include horse armor as promised. While there are whispers of a Fallout 3 remake, I’m keeping my hopes high for Morrowind (please, Bethesda, let’s make it happen!). Additionally, some official mod support for Oblivion would be fantastic. But fear not, the game has only been available for less than a day, and already over 80 mods have surfaced on Nexus. Here are some of the best ones you might want to check out.

Essential mods for Oblivion Remastered

Great! Let’s get started by discussing some essential modifications. Here are the enhancements for the remastered version of Oblivion that you might find useful to install initially:

This sentence is rephrased to make it easier to read and more conversational, while still conveying the same information.

  1. Carry Weight Modifier – This might be the very first one you’ll want. Sure, you can tweak it with console commands, but this is just easier.
  2. Achievement Unblocker – Super handy if you’ve been using commands that disable achievements.
  3. Difficulty Slider Fixed – A common mod that smooths out damage multipliers scale when you change difficulty.
  4. Better HUD – Another classic that changes the sizes and move around your health bars and icons.
  5. Ultra Plus – A bunch of mods for fixing bugs and performance. Kind of an all-in-one cleanup kit.
  6. Oblivion Optimizer – Helps reduce stuttering by optimizing how the game handles shaders and asset loading.
  7. Ayleid Reshade – Better colors and light.
  8. Classic Oblivion Color Grading – Similar to the previous one, Oblivion looks like Oblivion again.
  9. Unleveled Item Rewards – The name says it all. If you’re even half as frustrated as the mod’s creator, this one’s definitely for you.
  10. No HUD No Effects – For all your HUD haters out there.
  11. Faster (And Slower) Levelling – Tweak how fast you gain XP depending on how you want to play.
  12. Richer Vendors – An absolute must! I mean, who has time to run around looking for another vendor when your inventory’s bursting? I’ve got things to do. Begone, povos!
  13. Skip Intro Screens – Another essential.
  14. No Compass – For the explorers who love getting lost on purpose, I guess.
  15. And last but not least, Adoring Fan desktop shortcut icon replacer. Sure, you could change it yourself, but this just saves you the trouble.

It seems like there are likely many more modifications I’ve overlooked during my writing process, but for now, I’ll stop here. This is just the beginning of what could be a much larger project.
