Backward compatible: Many old Oblivion mods still work on Oblivion Remastered | The modding community is already hard at work despite lack of "official" support.

The modding community is already hard at work despite lack of “official” support.

Ars confirmed this during some quick testing, using a mod uploaded in 2008 to easily add high-end weapons and armor to the opening jail cell scene in the Remastered version. Early testers report that some more complex mods designed for the original Oblivion will lead to crashes or mixed results when loaded in the Remastered game. Others theorize that "the game seems to read OG Oblivion as its base, so manually adding a mod that doesn’t have new assets ... would work."
