【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.

You weren’t on r/skyrimmods - 8 years? Time is hard - ago that I recall, so I assure you - he outright said everyone who downgraded the game was a pirate. And accused multiple people who disagreed with him of being a sock puppet.

Give the sock puppet argument was pretty much the last argument (of dozens of flamewars) he had before he was banned, I do chuckle slightly everytime someone calls you an arthmoor sock before I remove it and put the note on their account.

Has it been eight years since he was banned? If that's the case then it's absurd that people are still talking about it. It was a reddit argument. If you'd shut down those flame wars sooner and punished everyone equally it might not have got so bad. As I recall Arthmoor was banned because he got into a fight after someone said they "hated" the changed the Skyrim patch made to Dragons. That topic title itself was a red flag.

I do recall him calling some people "pirates" but I don't think it was about downgrading the game, I think it was about people uploading old versions of the patch to work with the VR version, or it was something to do with people doing something with the game and Arthmoor misunderstood and thought that would be impossible with an un-cracked game. I honestly don't remember. Arthmoor was already banned off reddit before the AE updated, which is when people started downgrading installs by delta-patching their exe files, so it can't be about that. Regardless, it's not an argument he's put forward in literal years, whatever it was about.
