That, of course, doesn’t mean you can’t mod Oblivion. You absolutely can. In the past, Bethesda has offered officially-made tools to help support the mod community. “Mods are not officially supported for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered,” Bethesda wrote on its support website. “If you are experiencing gameplay issues while playing with mods, it’s recommended you first try uninstalling your mods, then verify your games files on Steam, or the Xbox App.”
Regardless of official mod support, modders are already working on Oblivion Remastered. The game’s been out for less than a day, and there are already more than 100 mods listed on popular modding website NexusMods — everything from “engine tweaks” and game optimization to a difficulty slider and colorful reshades.
