Our last look at The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion total conversion mod for Skyrim, Skyblivion, was back in August 2019. Thankfully, its team has been working hard on it since then. And, a few days ago, it released a new dev diary for it, featuring some new in-game footage.
According to its description, Skyblivion aims to bring The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to a new generation of gamers and re-introduce it to long time fans of the series.
This mod will support both Skyrim Legacy Edition and Skyrim Special Edition. Its team is currently in the process of porting and rebuilding Cyrodiil along with all of its quests, locations and characters.
Upon release, the mod will be completely modular. As such, players will be able to choose what components they want to install. This includes all enhancements developed by the team such as our Landscaping Overhaul, Interior Overhaul, City Overhaul, Weapon/Armor Overhaul and much more.
This latest developer diary focuses on the game’s Quests and Environments. It also showcases some of its 3D object and its UI.
There is currently no ETA on when Skyblivion will come out.
Enjoy!

UMMM Oblivion is ELDER SCROLLS 4 not 3
brainfart, fixed.
id prefer morrowind but someone did make that in oblivion engine.
not all mods though
That Peaked my interest…
No ETA since projects like this will never be out.
yeah, i think it’s because too ambitious. Focusing on recreating/redesign all armors, weapons, cloth etc. Why don’t just convert main game and release it first. Then create upgrade packs or something. I already give up on waiting for skywind. High chance it will be abandoned and never released.
Both projects have discord servers with regular updates on the progress. You can check for free instead of sitting here and speculating.
It’s not that it’s too ambitious, it’s that it’s a lot of work and relies entirely on volunteer effort. Neither project has a dedicated team of 100 people on a payroll. They’re volunteers with lives that work on this in their spare time.
That said you can help out on either one by going on said discord servers and filling out an application to help out if you have any talent or skill for what needs to be done
In theory because you can’t get decent shadows in Oblivion. In practice this is vaporware so playing Oblivion with mods is the only choice.
Worry not, we will have a stream of these for eternity
