Players are knee-deep in exploring the vast world of Cyrodiil after the surprise launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered in April. One of the most unique and fun aspects of the original game was the use of mods. The passionate community of the player base curated and crafted several full-blown expansions to add more life to the sprawling world of Oblivion.

With the game’s second coming to life with enhanced graphical and gameplay settings, the allure of mods remains strong. So here are the top five mods that you can use to have a merry time in Cyrodiil.

5 Best Mods To Download for Oblivion Remastered

1) Horse Whistle Mod – Summon and Follow

Horses are companions that make your life easier. Buying one certainly emerges as a costly affair. However, the benefits it offers far outweigh the cons. Horses aid in climbing, covering ground quicker, and exploration. Nevertheless, the one complaint prevalent among players is the fact that the game doesn’t allow you to summon your horse at the time of need or issue it any orders.

You can change that by deploying the Horse Whistle mod. Acquiring this mod grants you the ability to whistle for your horse. Your horse will slowly make its way to your character if it’s close or teleport if it’s farther away. Furthermore, you can combine this power with the waiting mechanic to compel your horse to follow. Keep in mind that The Horse Whistle mod only works outside city gates.

2) High Quality Music Replacer Mod

The music in Oblivion, during its time of release, garnered major acclaim and plaudits. Similarly, for Oblivion Remastered, the developers wisely decided to reuse the same soundtrack rather than changing it up. Nevertheless, the sound of the game can be taken up a notch.

The Oblivion Remastered High Quality Music Replacer mod replaces the current audio files in the game’s directory with HD MP3s from the official soundtrack. This enhances the audio of the game, paving the way for a crisper and otherworldly experience. The mod creator has assured fans that the HD versions replace most of the game’s music. So download this mod to augment your audio and gameplay experience.

3) Ultimate Engine Tweaks Mod

Perhaps the most popular and useful mod for most Bethesda games, the Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod can be used to boost your gaming experience for Oblivion Remastered too. The mod aims to improve performance and stability, decrease input latency, improve picture clarity, and, more importantly, remove most stutters.

Furthermore, downloading and using this mod doesn’t lead to any compromise of visual fidelity. So use this mod to have a smooth experience while exploring the lands of Cyrodiil.

4) No Item Degradation Mod

This mod will definitely make your life easier while playing Oblivion Remastered. This mod delivers on its promise. Downloading and using the No Item Degradation mod ensures that all your armors and weapons won’t degrade even if you use them increasingly.

However, do note that this doesn’t apply to enchantment degradation. Nevertheless, you won’t need repair hammers and blacksmiths for your playthrough in Oblivion Remastered. So, procure and use this mod to check off one problem from a long list of problems that you encounter while exploring Cyrodiil.

5) Difficulty Slider Fixed Mod

The combat in Oblivion Remastered is excruciatingly difficult in the higher difficulty levels. Players have complained about the lack of balance and disparity between the levels. Enemies hit hard and decisively, while any damage you try to dish out barely scratches their health bar, even if you use the best weapons in the game.

By using the Difficulty Slider Fixed mod, you can remove the restrictive and rigid difficulty levels and use a slider system instead. This allows the player to customize their experience in terms of damage taken and damage dealt multipliers. This is a chance of pace from the unforgiving nature of the default difficulty level settings. So use this mod to customize and improve your gameplay experience.
