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.
His unofficial patch mod is a hard requirement for other mods on Skyrim, and his changes while mostly just bug fixes but also gameplay changes based on his view on how the game should be played, and you can’t just turn off the changes you don’t need, and it’ll be the same for OBE but I hope mod authors don’t includes his mod as a requirement after the Skyrim mess. PS: he’s also a massive cunt
So overall, it is a good and useful patch that doesn’t have alternatives?
Because of the clout he has on Nexus, he makes sure there are no alternatives. His way is the only way, and he’ll do what he can to enforce that. And he’s so argumentative that he even got himself permabanned on the skyrimmods subreddit.
There’s alternatives but he reported them to get it removed
