📋 About This Mod
This is a revival of my previous mod, Tycho\'s Shield On Back 2. 0. That version, while it functioned, was quite buggy and didnt work for alot of shields.
This version however, will! Due to some updates to OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender)
Tychos Shield On Back Revived is a gameplay mod for Oblivion that lets you display shields on your character's back. It revives the author's earlier buggy version, now fixed thanks to OBSE updates. With 1,561 endorsements and 76,616 downloads, it's a popular utility for roleplayers and adventurers.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (76,616) shows it's a go-to for shield-on-back enthusiasts.
- 1,561 endorsements from the community—people actually like it.
- Author specifically fixed the old version's bugs, so it works with more shields now.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008—over 15 years old, so it might not play nice with newer Oblivion setups or mods.
- Requires OBSE, which adds an extra step if you haven't already installed it.
- No detailed instructions or compatibility notes in the description—you're on your own if something breaks.
For Oblivion players who want their character to look like a proper adventurer with a shield slung on their back. If you're into immersion or roleplaying, this is a must-have. Skip it if you're not bothered by shields just disappearing when sheathed.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure OBSE is installed and launched via obse_loader.exe, not the vanilla Oblivion.exe, or the mod won't work.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM, install the mod through it to keep your Data folder clean.
- Test with a few different shields early on—some may still not display correctly due to mesh issues.
