TL;DR: Oblivion Remastered now has over 100 unofficial mods available just a day after the remake was released. As we've already heard, Bethesda does not officially support mods, taking the view that they're okay to use - but at the risk of the player. Popular mods include one that optimizes the game's performance and another which offers HUD improvements.

Oblivion Remastered has been causing quite a stir - indeed, the excitement around this remake has been more like a tidal wave - since it was revealed yesterday, and that includes a surge of activity on the mod front.

As we've already reported, while mod support is not official, Bethesda hasn't outlawed these add-ons either, it's just that if you use them and it breaks the revamped take on Oblivion, you're on your own.

And there's been a flood of mods, as Eurogamer picked up, with the numbers of the unofficial modifications out there now cresting over 100, a mere day after the remake was made available.

That wide array is perusable on the Nexus Mods portal, from the more dubious - the 'Experimental Potato Engine' visual presets that aim to up FPS by slashing the visual quality - to some great efforts which we've already highlighted here. (That includes a performance optimizer tool and improved HUD to name a couple).

If you are keen to experiment with the already copious number of mods kicking about, even if you do break Oblivion Remastered, it's a simple enough matter to uninstall and reinstall it (although try verifying the integrity of the game files on Steam as a first course of action).

As ever, do maintain a suitable sense of wariness when downloading third-party files, though, as who knows what riskiness might lurk within. We've all woken up naked in the bank in World of Warcraft after installing the wrong mod, after all (haven't we?).
