Arcane University Revamped is a cosmetic overhaul for the Arcane University in Oblivion, offering two ESP options to customize the area. It has 233 endorsements and was last updated in 2008, making it a classic mod for players seeking a refreshed look without major changes.

✨ Key Features

Provides two ESP options for the Arcane University, but only one should be activated at a time.
Adds an orrery dome that appears if the official Orrery plugin is active, but the mod works without it.
Overhauls the visual appearance of the Arcane University area.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-tested with 233 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
  • Flexible installation with two ESP choices to suit your preference.
  • Works even without the official Orrery plugin, so no extra requirements.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2008, so it may have compatibility issues with newer setups or mods.
  • Only one ESP can be active, and choosing wrong might cause conflicts or missing features.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Oblivion players who want a fresh look at the Arcane University without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who spends time in the Mages Guild, this adds visual variety. Skip if you want gameplay changes or modern graphics—this is purely cosmetic and dated.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Pick one ESP and stick with it—activating both can cause conflicts.
  • If you have the official Orrery plugin, enable it to see the dome; otherwise, the mod still works fine.
  • Since it's from 2008, use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to avoid overwriting issues.
