The ghosts of Elder Scrolls' modding past are already rearing their heads.
Birds fly, the sun shines, water is wet, and Bethesda games get unofficial patches. There’s Morrowind’s Patch for Purists, the Yukichigai Patch for New Vegas (an Obsidian game, but Bethesda’s engine down to its bones), even a Community Patch for Starfield. This is an immutable law of the universe, and not even wrapping original Oblivion in an Unreal Engine 5 layer makes it any less true.
So I doubt anyone was too surprised when a mod by an author named Arthmoor called the Unofficial Oblivion Remastered Patch – UORP popped up on Nexus Mods just one week after Oblivion Remastered launched on April 22. What might be surprising, if you’re not all that wired into the Bethesda mod scene, is how angry that made everyone.
I just woke up and read the title as “terf war erupts”. Was really disappointed when I read the article.
As for the actual topic, his mods are mostly fine. It’s a shame he has to mix bug fixes with content alteration. I love overhaul mods big and small. But I like to choose playing them myself, thank you.
Arthmoor’s mods are fine, he’s just a shitty person. He tends to get into arguments with people and removing his mods (and thereby breaking a lot of people’s load orders) when he doesn’t get his way. He also reports and harasses any modders that try to fix the same bugs as his unofficial patches, even going so far as reporting them to get their mods removed and banned from the Nexus.
