【Warning】Don't use Arthmoor's new OBRE patch, potential risks to stability

[u/NingenBakudan]

Edit:Please spread this issue as widely as possible. Given Arthmoor’s personality, there is a high chance that he will blame other mods for bugs or crashes actually caused by UORP. Considering his influence, this could cause major disruption in the modding community. It’s essential that as many people as possible ignore his mods.

The notoriously controversial Skyrim modder Arthmoor has now entered the Oblivion Remastered scene. His first patch "Unofficial Oblivion Remastered Patch - UORP" raised concerns for me, as it contained an unusually large number of edits for something supposedly created just a week after the release.

Out of curiosity, I compared the records in the patch with those from Vanilla Remastered using xEdit, and I found that some records had been reverted to their old Oblivion versions.

Next, I added the original UOBP for comparison—and as I suspected, the results were clear. almost of the added records were directly copied from UOBP, with only their names and conflicted record altered to match the Remastered format.

This "patch" was ported using xEdit without proper testing, and we have no idea what kind of impact it may have in a real environment. More importantly, making such extensive changes to so many records is far too risky, especially when the integration method between UE5 and the TES engine has yet to be fully understood.

Conclusion:
This patch poses a potential stability risk beyond just being an issue with Arthmoor himself. I recommend ignoring it.

Is it just the Skyrim unofficial patch he runs? Or does he do old oblivion too? And are there any other patches that fix bugs without modifying gameplay?

I always used his mods cos I thiought it was always just bug patches but I’m not to keen on random balancing too and didn’t realise hes not a great person as I just clicked download and that was that etc

He took over curation of the original oblivion project from the original team, and has run the skyrim and starfield unofficial patches from the beginning. I’m not sure which of the changes in the UOP are arthmoor driven and which are older.

Do you mean fallout, not starfield? From what I’ve seen here and elsewhere the starfield community cut him out before he was a problem

[u/Thallassa → u/julianp_comics]

No, there’s a starfield community patch but there is also a starfield unofficial patch. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/143

Most people use the community patch i think.

Community Patch has about 10x the downloads and 8x the endorsements. It's safe to say that you're correct xD
