The community of The Elder Scrolls is accustomed to modifying games, and true to form, the newly launched Oblivion Remastered has a number of quality mods available for PC use as well. Although its modding scene isn’t as extensive as other Bethesda RPGs at this point, it certainly has potential. Previously, we’ve highlighted several notable mods for Oblivion Remastered that are worth watching. Now, let’s discuss fifteen additional ones you can find on NexusMods.
LUMIERE
As someone who’s found themselves navigating the nocturnal expanse of Cyrodiil and yearning for a brighter journey, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tewix’s Lumiere – Lights of Cyrodiil mod on NexusMods. This fantastic addition brings an array of lanterns to the city’s streets, roadsides, signposts, and even outside tavern entrances, casting a warmer, more inviting glow across the realm as you traverse it after sundown. With improved visibility, the game world becomes less daunting and more enjoyable to explore, even under the cover of darkness.
ENHANCED LIGHT RADIUS
A noteworthy lighting modification, known as Enhanced Light Radius, is another great addition from Tewix. Essentially, this mod expands the reach of stationary light sources like torches, campfires, doomstones, and others. Users may notice a slight impact on performance with this mod active, but it significantly enhances the game’s lighting. When used in conjunction with the previously mentioned Lumiere mod, it creates a substantial difference.
IMPROVED WORLD MAP
In the game Oblivion Remastered, the world map isn’t always perfectly accurate, but with the addition of Dralkkin’s A More Complete World Map mod, it significantly improves. This mod not only enhances the color scheme and readability of the map, but also incorporates missing lakes and roads from the original version. Furthermore, it boosts the resolution to an impressive 8K, offering even more detail in the game’s geography.
IMPROVED CLOUDS
The upgraded version of Oblivion, Oblivion Remastered, certainly looks improved compared to its 2006 counterpart, but there’s still potential for further enhancements. A mod called Hecklinn’s Velvet Horizons – Cloud Replacer makes some minor yet noticeable improvements. This modification increases the number of clouds in the game’s skybox substantially, giving the sky a more dynamic and flavorful appearance. It’s merely an aesthetic change, but it does add a touch of beauty to the gameplay, even if subtly so.
NEW SPELLS
If you’re a fan of magic users in the game, Arx Vallium’s Forgotten Spells mod is definitely worth exploring. It introduces approximately 50 new spells that were previously unavailable to players, hidden within the game’s files. This mod makes these spells accessible, enriching your gaming experience with attribute draining spells, conjuration spells, restoration spells, illusion spells, and many more.
MORE QUICK SLOTS
In its present state, Oblivion Remastered limits the number of items or spells you can store in the quick access wheel to just eight. However, if this isn’t sufficient for your needs (which could very likely be the case), a mod called ESoddjobs’s More Quick Keys doubles the number of available slots. Just remember that these extra slots do not allow for shortcutting spells, so you’ll need to find a way to work within this limitation.
BETTER ENEMY AI
Fighting isn’t necessarily where “Oblivion Remastered” shines brightest, but there are modifications that can enhance it somewhat. For example, consider the Responsive Combat AI mod by Maddensterror02. This mod enhances enemy artificial intelligence, particularly in combat situations. After installing this mod, enemies become more adept at dodging and blocking attacks, and they also become more aggressive with their own assaults, which will result in them dealing more damage.
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE AND VISUALS
In addition to the numerous visual upgrades found in Oblivion Remastered, sammilucia’s Ultra Plus for Oblivion – Performance and Visuals Remastered mod offers additional perks. This includes enhanced performance, lighting, distance rendering, ray tracing capabilities, and a multitude of other refinements to the game’s technical aspects.
CLIMATES REVISED
If you’re keen on experiencing a variety of realistic and diverse weather conditions throughout Cyrodiil, you might want to check out Spifferino’s Climates Revised mod. While it won’t introduce entirely new weather types or climate effects, the mod does ensure a more balanced distribution of weather patterns across the map. For example, locations that previously didn’t have thunderstorms will occasionally experience them now.
NO ITEM DEGRADATION
In most games, the degradation of items and weapons often sparks debate due to its impact on gameplay. While some believe it enhances the gaming experience when properly implemented, many players dislike the persistent anxiety it introduces. Erok’s mod named “No Item Degradation,” available in Oblivion Remastered, eliminates this concern by removing the degradation mechanic from the game.
FAST TRAVEL CHANGES
In Oblivion Remastered, fast traveling is quite handy, but there’s room for improvement if you want a speedier experience. For example, the Fast Travel Anywhere from Everywhere mod by Exalderan does just that. It removes some limitations on fast travel, allowing players to do so even when they are indoors and adds all map markers as well, making navigation smoother overall.
MORE ENEMIES
A concern frequently voiced by even the most ardent supporters of Oblivion Remastered is its world appearing sparse and static at times. Maddensterror02’s More Enemies mod aims to alleviate this issue somewhat. As its title suggests, it introduces additional enemies into the game environment, ensuring that your travels through Cyrodiil are filled with a wider range of dynamic confrontations with various types of adversaries.
ADVANCED FOLLOWERS
In Bethesda Game Studios’ RPGs (role-playing games), friends and allies could play a significant role in your journey, depending on how you decide to play. This mod, SpiderAkira’s Advanced Followers, might appeal to some players. Essentially, this mod enables non-player characters (NPCs) to join your party, accompanying you as you traverse the world of Cyrodiil during your adventures.
GUARDS REVISED
An alternative mod accessible via NexusMods, crafted by user Spifferino, is titled Guards Revised. This mod fundamentally reworks the weapons and armories of guards dispersed across the map. Now, guards carry diverse weaponry and armor sets depending on their location in Cyrodiil as well as their specific roles. For instance, jailers and castle guards will have distinct equipment, just as a guard stationed in one city would differ from another in a distant city.
MORE COMBAT TWEAKS
To wrap up, let me introduce a modification that focuses on enhancing the combat experience. The Myrmodion’s More Damage – Custom Combat Overhaul mod alters and optimizes combat in multiple ways to make it more challenging and hazardous. This involves adjusting damage figures, armor settings, and other aspects. While combat might not be the primary focus of Oblivion for most players, those who enjoy engaging in it frequently should definitely consider this mod as an option.
