The Elder Scrolls modding community never sleeps. Within just three hours of the highly anticipated Oblivion Remastered fan project going live, the modding scene did what it does best: someone uploaded a gooner mod. Yes, that fast.
For the uninitiated, Oblivion Remastered is a massive visual and gameplay overhaul of Bethesda’s 2006 classic, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. With improved textures, lighting, animations, and tons of community fixes, it breathes new life into the old gem. But in classic modding tradition, while some creators focus on lore-friendly improvements and immersive gameplay, others… take a more creative approach.
What Exactly Is a Gooner Mod?
Let’s keep it classy — a “gooner mod” typically refers to, well, adult-themed content. These mods often push the boundaries of taste (and game engines) and are infamous in almost every moddable fandom. Whether you think they’re hilarious, disturbing, or just plain weird, they’re not going away anytime soon.
This time, though, it was almost a speedrun. Within three hours, one such mod appeared on a lesser-known but popular NSFW modding site. The description? Something about “reclaiming the throne of Cyrodiil through ecstatic dominance.” Yep, the internet is undefeated.
The Modding Community Reacts
Reactions from the Oblivion Remastered community ranged from bewildered amusement to genuine frustration. Many creators poured months (even years) into making the remaster a tribute to the original game’s spirit. For them, the rapid appearance of NSFW content feels like an inevitable, yet unwanted, side effect of the open modding culture.
Others, however, shrugged and said, “Well, it was bound to happen.” After all, Skyrim, Fallout, and even Morrowind saw the same pattern — as soon as something gets popular, the gooners aren’t far behind.
What Does This Mean for the Future?
If anything, it proves just how alive and chaotic the modding scene still is. Love it or hate it, this moment has become a bizarre badge of honor for any major mod launch. And in a way, it’s a backhanded compliment: Oblivion Remastered made such waves that even the NSFW community took notice immediately.
Final Thoughts
The Elder Scrolls community is vast, passionate, and wildly unpredictable. Whether you’re here for the visuals, the quests, or the mods that make you say “What did I just download?”, one thing’s for sure — Oblivion Remastered is already making history. Just maybe double-check what you’re installing
