how to mod oblivion remastered

To mod Oblivion Remastered, follow these general steps:

1. Locate Your Game Folder
   For Steam users, right-click Oblivion Remastered in your Steam library, select "Manage," then "Browse local files" to open the game root folder where the executable is located

2. Prepare Modding Tools
   • Download and install a file extractor like WinRAR or 7-Zip to unpack mod files

 * Create a Nexus Mods account if you don't have one, as many mods are hosted there

 * Optionally, download the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE64) for enhanced mod support (Steam version only)

3. Organize Mods
   Create a dedicated folder on your PC to store downloaded mods for easy management

4. Install Mods Manually
   • Extract mod files into the appropriate folders inside the Oblivion Remastered directory. For example:
     • UI mods often go into Oblivion Remastered\Content\Paks\mods (create the mods folder if it doesn't exist)

   * ESP/ESM plugin files go into `Oblivion Remastered\Content\Dev\Oblivion\Data`

   * Save files go into `Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved Games`

 * After adding ESP plugins, update the `plugins.ext` file by adding the new mod's ESP filename to ensure it loads in-game

5. Use Mod Managers (Optional)
   You can also use mod managers designed for Oblivion Remastered to simplify installation

6. Install Additional Enhancements
   • Install ReShade for graphical enhancements by placing ReShade files in the game folder and loading presets as needed

 * Apply engine tweaks mods to improve performance and FPS

7. Launch the Game with Mods
   If using OBSE64, launch the game via the script extender loader with a Steam launch command like:
   "(Your Drive Letter)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Binaries\Win64\obse64_loader.exe" -- %command%

This process allows you to customize Oblivion Remastered with various mods, including UI changes, gameplay tweaks, and visual enhancements. Detailed video guides and mod pages on Nexus Mods provide step-by-step instructions and mod- specific installation paths
