Modding turf war erupts as 'notoriously controversial' dev puts out an Unofficial Oblivion Remastered Patch one week after the game came out

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.
