The modding community has wasted no time enhancing Bethesda's recently released Oblivion Remastered, with several impressive mods already available that significantly extend gameplay and improve immersion. Despite the game not having official mod support, talented creators are finding ways to address limitations in the base game and add features that many players have been requesting.
True First-Person Camera Brings Deeper Immersion
Modder 3AMt has created the True First Person Camera mod that transforms the game's perspective into what the creator describes as a true first-person experience. Unlike the standard first-person view in Oblivion Remastered, this mod aligns the camera directly with the character's head, positioning it between the eyes for a more realistic viewpoint.
The mod allows players to see their character's full body, including arms, legs, and all equipped gear, similar to immersive simulation games or the ARMA series. Additionally, the character's body rotates along with the camera movements, enhancing the feeling of embodiment. For those who prefer more flexibility, the mod includes a 'Freelook mode' that enables players to look around independently without moving their character.
While still labeled as a work in progress, the mod requires the latest version of UE4SS to function. The creator acknowledges some known issues, including incompatibility with certain hairstyle mods and actions like sitting not fully synchronizing with the camera position.

- Dark Brotherhood - Infinitum

Infinite Guild Quests Transform Endgame Content
In a significant expansion of gameplay possibilities, modder ColdTyrant has developed a series of mods that make guild quests infinitely repeatable. Following the success of their Dark Brotherhood infinite contracts mod, ColdTyrant has now released similar systems for the Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, and Arena factions.
The Thieves Guild – Infinitum mod introduces a system similar to Skyrim's radiant quests, offering 100 infinitely repeatable, randomly selected quests where players steal specific items throughout Cyrodiil for anonymous clients. Players pick up contracts from Dareloth's Garden, complete the theft, and deposit stolen goods in drop boxes to receive gold rewards scaled to their level (up to level 30) plus a new currency called Fox's Favor.
Unlike the Dark Brotherhood mod's gacha-style reward system, Fox's Favor can be exchanged for practical Thieves Guild services such as bounty removal, infamy reduction, lockpicks, or special equipment. This approach keeps the gameplay loop rewarding and meaningful even after completing the main guild storyline.
Complete Guild Experience Extensions
ColdTyrant hasn't stopped with just the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild. The modder has also created Arena – Infinitum and Fighter's Guild – Infinitum, applying the same concept of endless quests to these factions. These additions allow players to continue participating in guild activities even after reaching the rank of guildmaster, significantly extending the game's replayability.
These mods are particularly valuable because they focus on what many players consider the most enjoyable aspects of Oblivion. The guild quests that take place in Cyrodiil's living cities tend to be more engaging than the standard dungeon-crawling missions that send players to monster-filled ruins. By making these urban adventures repeatable, the mods enhance one of the game's strongest elements.
Modding Community Momentum
The rapid development of these sophisticated mods demonstrates the enthusiasm and technical skill of the Oblivion modding community. Despite Oblivion Remastered not having official mod support, creators are finding ways to implement significant gameplay changes and quality-of-life improvements.
These early mods suggest that Oblivion Remastered may eventually develop a modding ecosystem as robust as those for Skyrim and even the original Morrowind, both of which continue to receive new content and enhancements years after release. For players looking to extend their time in Cyrodiil, these mods offer compelling reasons to keep exploring the world of Oblivion long after completing the main storylines.
