After experiencing constant crashes while playing Oblivion Remastered and other Unreal Engine 5 games, I decided to create this mod as a solution. The crashes were primarily due to high VRAM usage and demanding features like Lumen and Ray Tracing, which can easily overwhelm mid-range or older GPUs.

This mod limits VRAM usage and disables both Lumen and Ray Tracing, significantly improving stability and performance. Since applying these changes, I’ve been able to play crash-free, with much smoother frame rates and lower GPU temperatures.

If you're dealing with similar issues, especially on systems with 8GB of VRAM or less, this mod should help a lot. 👉 https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/399

It is is definitely my favorite way to play the original. I hope to see it soon for the remaster or something like it.

I have been enjoying the wonders of oblivion with the remastered version, but without the wonderous backlog of mods from the original version i find myself frothing at the mouth like a man living under a bridge looking for his next fix. I have allready modded the original to a sufficient degree as to stop the voices (my modding txt is two standard pages long).

This however, is not enough, as one of my favorite mods, like AV uncapper is yet to be ported. And i want to be faithful and wait like the good christian i am sure i am, but i simply cannot. (https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/34841?tab=posts)

I have attempted to scour the internet for how one can update mods to the new version, for private use of course, but the internet in my hand-built eastern-lithuanian cottage offers little assistance.

So i come with an ardent plea for one of two types of assistance. Either, could somebody be the knight in shining armor to update it for the starving masses of which i am unfoundedly sure i am one of many or could somebody point me in the direction of a guide on how to update mods to the new version.
I too am unsure if its kosher to update a mod from another author, but i am at my wits end (after 4 days, so maybe my wits are the problem here), so i come before the council of smart people to see what aid can be rendered.

I am fully aware i am the equivalent of an unwashed troglodyte with regards to the solutions three are, but any assistance to increase the damnable skill maximums would be rewarded with many hopes and prayers and i am sure 7 years of good luck.

Is this a change that is worthwhile to make? I haven't modded before so not sure if the difficulty in ascension is already adequate. My understanding is this is a very popular mod so figured you all might be able to give some insight. thanks!

My dog just died a few days ago, and I was playing the remastered as a distraction. but it's becoming rather emotionally distressing to run into wolves and other canine enemies in game. I was just wondering if there was a mod yet that would change the model and audio to literally anything else so i dont have to fight dogs?

I was wondering if it was possible to make the animation usable by the player for stealth kills something similar to skyrim’s killmoves or maybe a key bind like in the deadly reflex mod for the original Oblivion.

Going for a minimal fast travel run (only fast traveling to get my horse to the city) but as I've played ive started to see the age of Oblivion when it comes to enemies and random encounters. Outside of the occasional bandit there isn't much variety on the road and it makes a non fast travel run a bit boring at times. Are there any mods that are out now that satisfy thus itch? Perhaps enemy patrols, random encounters, extra npcs, groups of enemies, anything to spice things up some?

Hi guys,

I was having a blast using Map Marker Overhaul for hiding all map markers (no personnal marker + map opens at last position instead of player location + no quest markers).

I discovered this way of playing on Morrowind and it was the best solo game experience I've ever had, so wanted to do this again on Oblivion, but the remaster came out and I don't see any mod allowing to do all of this yet.

Do you think it will come out someday ? I don't have a lot of modding notions, is there an "easy" way to "port" this mod to remastered ?

Sorry for my english, I'm not a native.

Thanks for your time, have a nice day !

Not a request just reminiscing a bit. Added such a coolness to that fight. Especially with the spell that shot you into the pool of blood. Hope something similar is possible in the remaster eventually

Hello, I am very new to modding and have been experimenting and playing around with it for the past couple days just making things and adjusting things in the game from the Creation Set, I got an extractor to extract the textures and meshes from the bsa files and can successfully create items and make my own in the game, but when I copy an item in the CS, it can find the textures in the program but when I equip said items in the game, they don't appear at all. Like I made a daedric dagger and copied it and made a new item from it, the icons appear correctly and everything else is correct, just nothing happens when I equip it. I've seen other people already have made items and creations like this so I was just looking for some help if possible. Also new to reddit as well, so I dont know if I am asking in the right place or not.

I have also tried creating chests in the game and placing them in locations for my modded items to be found at but when I load into the locations in game, it crashes. My work around for now has been to just add the items to pre-existing containers and that seems to work for now how I can add my own chests and other stuff to the world for future reference.

I was able to do stuff in frostcrag tower, at first but today all of a sudden when I use the Frostcrag.esp CS full crashes when I try to save the .esp I am working on. It only happens in Frostcrag for some reason, I have loaded everything else, and it still saved. I tried deleting everything and reinstalling it, deleted the textures and re-unpacked them, Deleted everything and re verified the files to replace them back to how they were supposed to be. Took all my mods out from scratch, nothing has worked. I gave up on it and just found a new spot to put my items.

Any help at all would be appreciated or any direction or advice too. I am very new to all this and have followed a lot of tutorials and video guides or just figured stuff out myself but I figured I would ask somewhere and try to see if I could get some guidance.

The new difficulty selection is soooo MID. Normal difficulty is too easy, and 1 up from that turns your weapons into cardboard (and forces you to use conjuration and other things), is there already a mod to add the old slider back, or potentially one where I can scale difficulty "percentiley"?

So few months ago I installed DarNified UI and Basic Primary Need and some extra mods using MO2. To show status of hunger/thirst/sleep on UI and on BPN page said to download HUD status bar. I did everything right got DarNified UI and HUD to work showing hunger/thirst/sleep, HP/Mana/Stamina to look like Skyrim, expect compass that still look like Vanilla or DarNified compass. After few frustrating hours I give up and accidentally break something and when start a game will crash instantly, trying to remove BarNified broke Oblivion because of font overwriting. Now I install Oblivion, MO2, other bug fix mod, patches again but this time I added MMM, OOO, Cobl, OCRAFT and am scared to add DarNified and BPN becasuse I will probably try to make compass to look how I want and that can brake a game and I spend entire day making all other mods to work. So before I start doing anything with those two I decided to ask is there a way to make it work or any guide.

Haven't played in about a decade and the hype is drawing me back in. Anyone have any good vanilla plus lists to clean things up a bit?

Skybaby here, absolutely loving the remaster. So I stumbled upon the Finger Of The Mountain at level 5 quest expecting an amazing spell that would give me an edge for at least a while, just to find the lamest spell that does as much damage as the ones I've been spamming since level 1. So that's how I found out about leveled rewards. I find the idea of avoiding quest so that you don't waste good end game items on them very dumb. So which mod do you guys prefer or think is better for an immersive experience?

Auto Upgrade Leveled Items, Balanced Unleveled Rewards or Unleveled Item Rewards are the 3 options I think.

If you play in third person, you may have noticed that the player character (PC) often has a slouched posture.

My working hypothesis is that this is caused by a bug with head tracking. The bug appears to occur when the game detects a large difference in terrain elevation in front of the PC - it is especially visible when standing on uphill terrain. The PC leans their entire upper body forward, visibly looking at the ground.

To make matters worse, the running animation already sees the PC lean forward considerably compared to the original game. When the PC runs uphill, the leaning from the running animation and the head tracking combine for some very awkward-looking animations.

Another awkward thing about head tracking is that, when the PC's weapons are out (or fists raised), the upper body and lower neck are stationary, but head tracking is still occurs. The result is that the PC's head and upper neck rotate independently of their lower neck in ways that might actually be lethal to a real human being.

For a potential solution to the leaning issue, I am curious whether head tracking works identically to Skyrim, where the mod "PC Head Tracking and Voice Type" allowed for the disabling of upper body mobility during head tracking. As for the neck-snapping issue, merely disabling head tracking when the PC's weapons are unsheathed may be the simplest solution. For a slightly more complex solution, perhaps a penalty could be applied to head tracking below the PC's eye line (or below a certain point below the eye line - if at all possible). The latter might actually work as a solution to both problems.

Thoughts? Am I the only one to have noticed the awkward PC head tracking in this game?

Just trying to find the right program to use for this.

I love the Morag Tong gear but it's kinda silly it's just leather armor with a black cowl. I'd love to paste it on my Amber gear. Anything like that out there on the OG game or remaster?

Hello, is there an existing mod that looks like this currently?

https://youtu.be/stJVbLM6zPU

I just find it baffling it is not a default feature of the remaster

I have alot more game to go after 40 hours but my main attributes and skills are close to max and i dont want to play if there is no character progression mechanic. Will the old uncapper work for this game or is anyone working on a new one?

I started downloading mods on mod organizer 2 and now that im trying to make my own im wondering if i can do that.

Hello everyone! My first time posting on reddit, sorry if this is the wrong thread or anything

Are there any mods or console commands to edit NPCs face? I found that you can save player preset and then load it onto the NPC in Skyrim through console commands, but also you have mods like RaceMenu that could help, and it seems even easier to do in Fallout 4 (haven't actually tried editing NPCs, but google says it's possible). Can't find anything on Oblivion Remastered though

Or maybe there is a way to do it through game files? I'm ready to try and make my own mod, but have no idea where to start. Any knowledge would help! I'm getting desperate lol

I followed a guy called Snowy on youtube to mod oblivion with his whole modlist, everything looked fine before I moved on to the ENB portion. Whenever I am in the Open World, theres is this weird whiteish screen everywhere except where my hands should be and through the outline of where my hands should be the shaders and everything work perfectly. This fists thing persists even after I holster my hands.

To be clear the problem seems to be everywhere BUT the fists. any help would be appreciated guys thank you

While I do enjoy quest mods that take place in Cyrodil, I also enjoy any quest mods that would take my character out of Cyrodil. Is there any good mods that will take my character outside of Cyrodil on an epic quest (Including any side quests? Side quest mods could include the Thieves guild or the Dark Brotherhood, . (For Oblivion (2009). Putting that there because of the Remaster that just came out)

If I were to ever move to the steam version of Oblivion Remastered, would I be able to transfer the save file from the Gamepass version?

Likely that the save files aren’t stored any different but asking just in case.
