The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered continues the series' tradition of cultivating an enthusiastic modding scene, and a new mod makes sweeping improvements to how NPCs behave throughout Cyrodiil. Oblivion Remastered makes plenty of changes to the original, but it's still Oblivion at its core, and very much feels like a game from 2006.
Nexus Mods user NaiadGirl has built the NPCs Come to Life mod based on mixxa77's similar work for the original game. NPCs Come to Life aims to make Oblivion Remastered's many characters more lively by building on the Radiant AI system put into the game by Bethesda. The mod gives NPCs more active schedules almost everywhere in Cyrodiil, and will show merchants plying their trade.
The goal of NPCs Come to Life is to make Oblivion feel more natural in how Cyrodiil's citizens go about their day. As the mod description points out, there are many NPCs who don't actually do much in-game, either rarely leaving their house, or having exceptionally simple schedules. Oblivion's Radiant AI system was ambitious and even quite impressive in 2006, but the oddity of some NPCs is very noticeable in Oblivion Remastered.
The mod simply gives NPCs more...
