Modders Transform Oblivion Remastered in Just Hours After Launch

NEW YORK, NY — Just hours after the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, a new mod has been uploaded to Nexus Mods, transforming the game in unexpected ways. The mod titled Ahegao Short Sword came out at 2:27 PM EDT, only three hours after the game became available for purchase.

The anticipation for the remaster was building ahead of its reveal stream, which happened just before the Steam page went live. With this quick turnaround, modder Bub200 created a short sword texture featuring hentai panels, generating mixed reactions from the community.

The first comment on the mod was from user KelpyJesus, who remarked, “thanks I hate it,” while another user expressed eagerness for more modding potential. Thepositive feedback included praises such as one from user Thebrokenbucket, who suggested this mod could spark a ‘modding renaissance’ for Oblivion.

Despite Bethesda’s announcement that mods would not be officially supported for Oblivion Remastered, modders have quickly begun dissecting the new code. Online discussions suggest that while the remaster employs Unreal Engine 5 for graphics, it still uses the original Gamebryo logic, allowing DIY modders to work on the game.

Some Reddit users pointed out the ongoing viability of modding. One stated, “the game is still using .esm files,” meaning traditional modding tools could still apply. Early mods already include basic features like UI updates and sound changes, hinting at a rebirth of the game’s modding community.

For years, Oblivion has thrived thanks to its dedicated mod community. Many fans are left to wonder how extensive the new mods for this remastered version will become. Despite Bethesda’s hesitations about mod support, it appears the gaming community won’t be deterred and is eager to expand the world of Cyrodiil.

As the dust settles after the remaster’s launch, one thing is clear: the urge to create ‘hornier’ mods remains alive and well, with this latest effort a testament to the enduring spirit of modders.
