Whether players are returning veterans looking to recapture the magic of the original or a new adventurer stepping into Cyrodiil for the first time, mods can tailor Oblivion Remastered to suit any playstyle. From restoring classic lighting to improving performance and adding new features, these community creations keep the game evolving.

1 Ultimate Engine

Get Rid Of Glitches

Mod Link
Mod Creator: P40L0X

Despite only being released this month, it is important to remember that it is a remaster of a very old game and can still be prone to glitches or problems early on. This mod addresses many of the performance issues players might encounter by reducing stutters, input lag, and removing visual effects like film grain and chromatic aberration.

If a player finds themselves having trouble traversing the scenic landscapes of Cyrodiil (or they just want a smoother gameplay experience), this mod could be helpful in their journey.

2 Ayleid Reshade

Bright And Beautiful

Mod Link
Mod Creator: Logriff

Unfortunately, some players of the original Elder Scrolls game have been disappointed with how the remaster looks in terms of color, reporting it to be muted in tone when compared to the original.

The Ayleid Reshade mod restores the vibrant colors and lighting of the original Oblivion without sacrificing the clear and modern graphics of its remaster. If a player misses the way Cyrodiil used to look, or they appreciate a more vibrant color palette, this mod is for them.

3 Achievement Enabler

No Missing Out

Achievements in video games offer players a sense of progression, challenge, and accomplishment beyond the main objectives that the game offers. They often reward exploration, skillful play, or creative problem-solving, adding extra layers of engagement to a game.

Oblivion Remastered: Fastest Leveling Methods

To level up fast, Oblivion Remastered players must raise their highest-level Skills, including both Major and Minor Skills.

For players who use the console commands and disable achievements, this mod restores and preserves that functionality, removes the no-achievement flag, as well as warnings. With this mod, there is no missing out on the achievement buzz.

4 Pre-Exit Sewers Save

A Fresh Start

Mod Link
Mod Creator: mskone

This is a convenient mod that places players right before leaving the Imperial Sewers, allowing full customization of their character without having to replay the lengthy tutorial. The save file still gives players full control over race, class, birthsign, and appearance, just before stepping into the wider world of Cyrodiil.

This mod is perfect for players who have been through the tutorial many times and want to jump straight into the adventure, or those who just can't wait to get started. Whether testing mods or starting a new roleplay, it offers a clean slate and a convenient head start without cutting corners on character setup.

5 Starter Camp

Rest Up

Mod Link
Mod Creator: Haphestia

This mod for Oblivion provides players with a small campsite just outside the Imperial City Sewers, perfect for beginning a new adventure. Equipped with basic supplies like a bedroll, campfire, and storage containers, it gives a lore-friendly and practical starting point.

Ideal for players who collected all the loot they could in the sewers (and are now over-encumbered) or those who want to plan their journey, the Starter Camp helps ease gamers into the world of Cyrodiil. The quaint little camp adds a grounded touch to the early-game experience while keeping immersion and balance intact.

6 Horse Whistle

Summon And Follow

Mod Link
Mod Creator: PushTheWinButton

A small yet incredibly convenient addition for players who frequently use horseback travel but find that losing track of their horse or leaving it behind can be extremely easy, especially when exploring vast distances. This mod adds a simple whistle item that, when used, instantly calls your horse to your location.

This saves time, frustration, and more importantly, gold. Both immersive and practical, the whistle is a must-have for players who enjoy riding across Cyrodiil without the hassle of constantly searching for their steed.

7 One Ring Or Maybe Two

Or Maybe Two

Mod Link
Mod Creator: Puff3r

If a player intends to build skills and max out their character quickly, this mod adds two rings and an amulet to help with just that. While a lot of players like to keep RPGs as realistic as possible, some prefer to start on top, and with these rings comes the opportunity to tip the scales in their favor, improving strength, intelligence, and willpower, to name a few.

The One Ring or Maybe Two mod opens up new possibilities for character builds, especially magic-focused or stealth-based characters who benefit from stacking enchantments. It also adds a humorous twist to the game’s realism.

8 Killed NPCs Don't Drop Their Weapons

No Searching Required

Mod Link
Mod Creator: shimmernexus

The Killed NPCs Don’t Drop Their Weapons mod for the Oblivion Remastered prevents enemies from automatically dropping their weapons upon death. In the vanilla game, looting weapons from every fallen NPC can quickly become frustrating, as the weapons used by the NPC will not be in their inventory and therefore are easily lost.

Since looting enemies for their items is a surefire way to earn gold for any adventurer, wasting time searching in the grass for a bow or sword to sell isn't helpful in the slightest. Players using this mod will be delighted to see that searching a dead NPC is more akin to Skyrim, saving them precious time and gold.
