Overhaul the Oblivion cast with an all-new look

Oblivion Character Overhaul Version 2 is a free, fan-made mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The mod reworks the game’s character appearances, altering heads to provide greater detail and more realism. All races get new head shapes, textures, hairstyles, and other cosmetic adjustments.

This mod enhances character appearances in the Oblivion game like how ApachiiSkyHair does for Skyrim, its successor. Gaming graphics have greatly improved since Oblivion was originally released, and so this mod aims to update the game with more sophisticated graphics that modern gamers will appreciate.

Every character gets a makeover

Oblivion Character Overhaul Version 2 affects every single player character and NPC in Oblivion. Between them, they receive new and more realistic head shapes; more detailed skin and eye textures; enhanced maps; and newer, less blocky hairstyles. Although the mod avoids altering the basic designs of the characters, the increased detail will be noticeable.

Oblivion becomes more consistent with Skyrim

Players familiar with Skyrim, the sequel to Oblivion, are sure to appreciate the Oblivion Character Overhaul Version 2 enhancement pack. The mod is designed to emulate Skyrim’s more sophisticated graphics, resulting in better consistency between Oblivion and Skyrim.

Complexity and compatibility

Oblivion Character Overhaul Version 2 is a complex mod, so it will take a while to install. You can also expect to run into compatibility problems if you use it alongside another character-appearance enhancement mod. Another detail to keep in mind is that it’s only suitable for use with the English version of Oblivion.

A graphics-only mod

This mod package is one of the few that alters only the graphics and leaves gameplay untouched. So, if the outdated graphics in Oblivion let you down, this mod is what you need to enhance the visuals and bring them up to date.
