Summary
- The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has over 200 mods on NexusMods in just a day following the remaster's release.
- Fans are using mods to stabilize frame rate, unlock map markers, and improve difficulty options and overall gameplay.
Just a day after the remaster's launch, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered accumulated more than 200 user-created mods on PC, including modes that fix some of the game's performance issues. Bethesda officially announced and released The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on April 22 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, surprising many fans who anticipated the game after many weeks of rumors.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was developed by Virtuos as a faithful project that still delivers the quality of life improvements and graphical upgrades that fans have come to expect in remasters today. The remaster was developed in Unreal Engine 5, which leverages new technologies like virtual shadow mapping and dynamic lighting to vastly improve the game's visuals and effects. Despite those upgrades, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered retains the same main story and voice-overs that fans were fond of in the original 2006 RPG. However, the game is very demanding on modern PCs due to Unreal Engine 5's suite of GPU-intensive features. Fortunately, new mods can help players have a better experience in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered right now.

Despite the official FAQ stating that mods aren't supported in the remaster, the community for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered began to create mods and implement fixes to performance issues in the game. For example, the new "Ultimate Engine Tweaks" mod removes instances of stuttering, improves frame rate and stability, decreases input latency, and enhances image quality without perceivable visual loss. This mod may be especially useful for players running the game at the minimum specifications on PC.
