Modder ‘Samtheson’ has just released a new DLC-sized expansion mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, called Journey to the Centre of Nirn. This mod has been in development for two years, and it features over 80 new locations.
Going into more details, this fan expansion is inspired by Jules Vernes’ famous story. In this mod, players will travel through vast magma chambers and dark caverns solving puzzles, riddles and intriguing mazes before finally discovering the fate of a lost Ayleid city.
Journey to the Centre of Nirn features its own sound fx and atmospheric background music. Moreover, it numerous easter eggs and references placed, some to lighten the mood. For instance, you will be able to find a 1980s C64 game easter egg.
In short, this is a really cool mod for this classic TES title. The question is though how many of you still have Oblivion installed to enjoy it? Anyway, those interested can go ahead and download it from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a teaser trailer for it. Since it’s a teaser trailer, though, it doesn’t show much.
Let’s also talk about a couple of other cool mods for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Both of them are DLC-sized expansions, offering new content. The first one is “Shroud Over Stalrous Manor.” It’s a quest mod with 9 chapters full of dark mystery and horror. The second mod is “Prism of Hammerfell.” This expansion, released in 2022, is unfinished and its creator isn’t planning to complete it. However, they’ve shared it for everyone to test and enjoy.
Finally, if you want to improve the graphics of Oblivion, you can download this HD Texture Pack. This pack will upscale the game’s original textures by two or four times. As such, you’ll get a crisper image. Since Oblivion is a really old game, it will benefit from this pack. Well, at least someone decides to release an RTX Remix Mod for it.
Have fun!
