Bethesda has officially confirmed that *The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered* does not include official mod support. However, this hasn't deterred the passionate fanbase, as dedicated fans have already released a number of unofficial mods.

Just hours after Bethesda and Virtuos surprised fans with the shadow-drop release of *Oblivion Remastered* for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, a handful of community mods surfaced on the popular modding platform, Nexus Mods. These early mods primarily offer small customization options, yet they demonstrate the unwavering dedication of The Elder Scrolls modding community.

At the time of this article's publication, a remarkable 22 mods were already available on the site. The first mod to be released enables PC players to personalize their desktop by swapping the default *Oblivion Remastered* shortcut icon with one of two images featuring the game's infamous Adoring Fan. Additionally, several mods allow players to skip the introduction logos of Bethesda and Virtuos. Other mods, such as one that adjusts the Wizard’s Fury spell and another that removes the compass, are beginning to explore more extensive gameplay customization options.

This wave of early mods comes in the wake of Bethesda's announcement that *Oblivion Remastered* would not feature official mod support. This information was detailed in an FAQ section on their website, confirming that players interested in mods would need to seek out community-created options.

One modder, GodschildGaming, uploaded their Iron Longsword damage mod to Nexus Mods, partly to demonstrate that *Oblivion Remastered* is still conducive to modding. In the mod's description, they stated, "This is just to prove modding is possible. Bethesda says no mod support, I say false. It really is Unreal slapped on top of Oblivion; the data folder is nested in a lot more folders but the same concept."
