Why There’s No Official Mod Support

Bethesda has generally been hesitant to provide official mod support for their games. The company is focused on maintaining the integrity of their titles, protecting players, and managing the complexities involved in adding mod support during development.

Mods can change a game drastically, causing potential copyright issues, disrupting the game balance, and even opening up the potential of malware being delivered to players. There are plenty of reasons why Oblivion may not officially support mods.

What Mods Are Already Available?

There are over 100 mods currently available on Nexus Mods, and the number is consistently rising. The most popular are mods to lower latency, adjust the carry weight, and improve the HUD.

Modders and fans have wasted no time in improving the Oblivion remaster. Mods for higher-res textures, interface fixes, and even lore-friendly quest tweaks are now available to download and install.
