Mod Showcase 1: Oblivion Remastered Mods in June 2025

Hello all, today we start a new series where we showcase some cool mods we stumble upon for Oblivion Remastered. Today we have a small list of cool mods you should try out!

We recommend you use a Mod Manager for Oblivion Remastered. Browse <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/games/oblivionremastered">Nexus Mods</a> for the best managers!

Install the Mod Manager for Oblivion Remastered

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/4881">Nexus Mods</a>

The alternate Leveling System mod is surprisingly simple: It takes the current - arguably old level system, and gives it a new dynamic. You will gain experience by finishing Quests, discovering new locations and of course, killing Monsters. The leveling System is taken from Fallout 3 but adds some configuration options, so you can configure it to your own leveling pace.

We think: Good option for players who aren't used to old school type of leveling and like to accelerate things a bit.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/4242">Nexus Mods</a>

The Mad Spell pack adds some new, very cool spells you can buy from different vendors. For instance, there is a Frost spell which freezes enemies completely like you see in above GIF. It reminds us of the old big Spell packs you could get for the original Oblivion release. Surely this spell pack doesn't have that many spells but it's a start and more will surely come. Highly recommended!

This seems such a low hanging fruit that we have to include it in the list. You can finally purchase Glass, Ebony and Daedric Arrows from merchants once you hit level 16, 20 and 24. In our Playthrough we sometimes went out of arrows and could only resolve back to low damage Iron or Steel Arrows. You really sometimes wish you get more Ebony or Glass arrow loot from enemies but that's rarely the case.&nbsp;

This mod solves this Problem by allowing you to finally purchase those arrows from vendors. Such a QOL mod you need to install right now!

That's it for our list. Let us know in the comments what mods you have installed lately!

Interesting Facts about Oblivion Remastered

Oblivion took the world by storm again with the remaster. Even though the hype died down a bit, it's still <a href="https://steamcharts.com/app/2623190#3m">played by many everyday</a>.

The original released in 2006 and with that, many new things in terms of technology and scale were used. We'd like to shed some light on the aspects of the game many people probably don't know today.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion transports players to the heart of Tamriel, the province of Cyrodiil, a land that captures the essence of a Mediterranean getaway. Unlike its predecessor, Morrowind, which featured darker, more alien landscapes, Cyrodiil was designed to be welcoming and accessible. The rolling hills, lush vineyards, and sun kissed fields create a setting that invites exploration and immersion. This shift in design was a deliberate choice to make the game more approachable, allowing players to feel at home as they venture through the diverse regions of Cyrodiil. Specific locations, such as the bustling city of Imperial City and the serene countryside, contribute to the game's charm, making the world feel alive and vibrant. This setting not only enhances the gameplay experience but also plays a crucial role in the game's narrative, providing a rich backdrop for the player's adventures.

Oblivion marked a significant milestone in the history of video games with its extensive use of voice acting. Featuring the talents of renowned actors like Patrick Stewart, the game boasted over 14,000 lines of dialogue, a feat that was impressive for its time. This innovation in storytelling brought characters to life, adding depth and authenticity to the game's world. The voice acting not only enhanced the narrative but also made the game more engaging, allowing players to connect with the characters on a deeper level. The inclusion of notable voice actors added to the game's appeal, with memorable lines and characters that have become iconic in gaming culture. The challenges of implementing such a comprehensive voice acting system were evident, but the end result was well worth the effort, setting a new standard for storytelling in video games.

The modding community for Oblivion was and remains a testament to the game's enduring popularity and versatility. Players were not content with simply playing the game; they wanted to reshape it, creating a canvas of endless possibilities. From minor tweaks to complete overhauls, mods allowed players to customize their experience, adding new quests, characters, and even entire regions. This community driven content significantly extended the game's lifespan, offering players the opportunity to revisit Tamriel with fresh eyes and new adventures. Popular mods have introduced unique gameplay mechanics, expanded storylines, and even transformed the game's visuals, demonstrating the creativity and dedication of the fan base. The mods serve as a celebration of the game's openness and the vibrant community that surrounds it.

Although not so important for the Remastered anymore since the graphics for instance are on a top tier basis. You can still find lots of mods on nexusmods however which add new mechanics or change existing just like the good old normal Oblivion release :)

4. Leveling Enemies (The worst mechanic of all time)

Oblivion's dynamic leveling system was a groundbreaking feature that ensured enemies scaled with the player's level, keeping the game exciting and challenging throughout. This system was designed to provide a balanced experience, where the player's progress was met with increasingly difficult foes. While this approach had its benefits, such as maintaining engagement and preventing the game from becoming too easy, it also had its drawbacks. Some players felt that the system made it difficult to revisit earlier areas without overwhelming the inhabitants, creating a sense of isolation. Despite these challenges, the dynamic leveling system was a bold step forward in game design, offering a unique experience that kept players on their toes. It sparked discussions about game balance and reward structures, adding depth to the player's experience and leaving a lasting impact on the gaming community.

In hindsight it's not that bad compared to the state some games get released today. Compared to that the half baked systems in Oblivion (or let's stay rather poorly designed ones) look amazing. But this one is just rough and it still feels a bit off in the remaster. However, playing a somewhat decent build and having spent the points on level up correct, you can manage the scaling enemies easily. Just don't use Expert mode lol.

The Shivering Isles expansion introduced a realm unlike any other in Tamriel, a place where madness reigned supreme under the rule of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. This expansion was a breath of fresh air, offering a unique and chaotic environment that stood in stark contrast to the main game. The vibrant colors, surreal landscapes, and unpredictable gameplay mechanics made Shivering Isles a memorable experience. The storyline delved into the nature of madness, providing a narrative that was both intriguing and unsettling. The reception of this expansion was overwhelmingly positive, with players praising its originality and the new gameplay elements it introduced. Shivering Isles was not just an addition to the game; it was a celebration of creativity and a testament to the diversity of the Elder Scrolls universe.

Interesting Oblivions Remastered Facts

Hello! In my last Guide I talked about most important cheats you'll need in Oblivion Remastered. I figured I make a short list for perks and skills as well since that pops up often when trying out different builds. So here we go:

Generally you use player.addskill "SkillName" like&nbsp;player.addskill Acrobatics 10

That's fine unless you need to add a complete perk to your characters in which case you have to memorize the perk IDs in order to use this command. Here is a list with all PerkIDs:

So for instance, if you'd like to become a Vampire (which I don't recommend) you can do player.addperk 00000016

Perk Console Commands for Oblivion Remastered

Ever needed a little list of console commands for the new Oblivion remastered? Don't worry, I made a little list down below you can use if you&nbsp; ever feel the need to cheat a little gold or something else :)

Will eventually extend the list soon but these are the most important commands you should know. Let me know in the comments if anything is missing!

Beating the Monster Arena in Dragon Quest 8 can be tough. There are proper team comps you need to know to really stand a chance to beat every rank. This is a short Guide to show you what team comps work best in the Monster Arena.

First of all, here is a map of all Monsters you can capture in the game:

As you can see already on the map, is that some monsters only spawn if you defeat a certain rank. Some others only appear at day while others appear at night. Consult this map to see where to find the specific monsters.

Team: Hackzilla, Brickman, Potbelly

Explanation: In the early ranks you don't really need a team with a deathmove. Hackzilla will do most of the job as the monster is very tanky with low-level characters and has good damage output. Brickman is a good monster as well in the early game. Potbelly is also hard hitting and can be found early-mid game. Consult the map to find the monsters!

Explanation: These ranks become a bit more difficult since the monster rise in strength. There is nothing to worry about here though, since the ranks are still somewhat lightweight compared to Rank B and above. You can still manage to keep Hackzilla and Brickman but I would suggest to swap Potbelly with Talos. Talos is a very hard hitting Monster, is even more tanky than Hackzilla and it can attack twice per round.

Explanation: Now we have an interesting team. Octurion is a must octopus that knows&nbsp;Omniheal, which is very important from Rank B and above. The damage the enemy teams deal will be too much for your team to survive all 3 rounds without regaining health, so he's a must. Skeledoid can attack twice (just like Talos) and Talos will stay in your team since his base stats are very high. If you're lucky you can get by with this comp without relying on deathmove teams, because Talos can soak the damage while Octurion heals the entire team.

And there you have it! These monster should get you by and win the Monster Arena. Have fun!

Little spell list <a href="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/552350-icewind-dale-ii/faqs/19054">I've found on gamefaqs</a> which I'd like to preserve in case something happens to the site. Will probably help some people when looking to get into magic builds. The list has 2 sortings which for one is by level, and the other is by Magic type. This guide intended as reference to make better decisions when and what to skill. I also cleaned up the styling a bit and added comments to some sections to make it clearer what every symbol means. Enjoy!

The sorcerer is a straightforward Build with lots of flexible options mid combat. You can cast lots of different spells depending on what enemy you are facing. I highly recommend this build if you like to get into the complexities of the battle system since you get forced to combine your spells in different manners to achieve the maximum effect. This build scales well with Charisma!

Decided to make this a somewhat weekly series, I'm gonna showcase some cool mods I have found on nexus mods for Skyrim in 2025. Hope you like the list!

You want cool river stones in the game? This mod gives you all. With Vanaheimer - River and Coast LE you will get new textures for the river and coast of those. Pretty nice stuff and looks natural even in vanilla.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119758">Nexus Mods</a>

This mod is as straightforward as it can be. Medieval Iron Arrows and Quiver&nbsp;is a mod, that will retexture the standard iron arrows and quiver into a more medieval style from the 14-17th century. It's really a eyecatcher and very colorful if you ask me.

If you have read other guides from me, you know that I like the vanilla water of the game. With Skyrim Enhanced the game actually also changed the shaders and textures of the water a bit to make it seem more realistic. There are lots of water mods out there that change the style of the shaders, flow of current and other stuff but I do feel that the game only needs vanilla changes. That's what this mod does. Vanilla Water Reimagined upscales the textures and adds some tweaks to the reflections and sparks. Really all the game needs for water!

Trending Skyrim Mods in March 2025

Hello all. I'm back! Haven't had time recently to write articles but here I am again. Made a little list with mods I have been downloading and playing around with and I'd like to show you all what those are. Hope you enjoy this little list!

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119682">Nexus Mods</a>

The first mod in the list is Draugr Warrior Armor. Pretty cool mod if you ask me. It adds a new piece of armor to the game which resembles something from a Draugr Endboss with epic fur at the bottom of the helmet. I like that the armor is blending nicely into the vanilla game since other armor pieces look a bit odd and too "clean".

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119753">Nexus Mods</a>

Since we are talking about armor pieces - I have more. Ancient Imperial Armor adds armor pieces similar to the one of Oblivion guards. I always liked the look of the armor on the guards back then and I do like the implementation of this mod for Skyrim. Must download! Also don't forget to hit the endorsement button on the nexus page, the author deserves every acknowledgement from us.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119716">Nexus Mods</a>

From Armor to Weapons: Everedge Sword adds a Sword to the game with very very sharp textures. It's legit crazy how sharp the sword is even if you look at it closely. It also has PBR like reflections but I'm unsure how the author has done it. Regardless cool looking sword and paired with the above Armor mods really something that looks natural.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/119743">Nexus Mods</a>

I have already covered <a href="https://playguide.gg/guide/best-skyrim-graphics-mods-you-need-to-download-right-now-top-5-list-40">snow in depth on some of my landscape posts</a> but it never hurts to have more mods than few right? If you dislike the snow I have talked about already, then Vanaheimr - Snow LE is the right Snow mod for you. It's more subtle than other mods I have seen in the wild and certainly really cool looking as well. Highly recommended if you like to keep more of the vanilla snow look in the game.

Best Skyrim Mods February 2025

Companions have somewhat of a interesting reputation in the game. A lot of people like them (Lydia) - others find them useless. In my opinon the companion system in vanilla could have been a tad better in terms of leveling since some companions become really useless at some point. But in the early to mid game they are quite useful for carrying items or helping in combat. You can even marry them.

But often I find myself abandonding companions due to AI problems or just the redundance when going into higher levels. I have some mods I'd like to showcase that might help mitigate that problem. Besides those I also have some new companions installed that I like to show aswell.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14037">Nexus Mods</a>

The start makes UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul. This is a pretty good mod and a must have if you want to add new features to your companions. For instance, you can have up to 15 Followers, Level Up your followers (very important in later stages) and also your followers can ride a horse. The mod has many more features which come in very handy if you really like to have a management system.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50698">Nexus Mods</a>

Next up is Tame the Beasts of Skyrim 2 which is a much needed mod if you ever had the idea to tame beats as followers. The mod goes beyond than just allowing you to tame all creatures/beats in the game, no you can even train them to make them stronger for later stages. It's pretty cool to think that you can also control a dragon as your pet/follower. Much recommended if you need something new.

Download: <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960">Nexus Mods</a>

The last mod in the last is something that has such a big follower base (4k discord members) that it has to be mentioned.&nbsp; Inigo is a companion mod which adds a fully voiced, with unique dialogues, Khajit into the game. There is so much information around this companion that it's hard to condense everything into a simple post like this. I recommend to have a look at the <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960">nexus page and make an opinion yourself</a> about him. Personally I don't use him as a mod (I'm not the most avid companion player) but I'm sure he will find his place within companion-friendly players.
