📋 About This Mod
This is extremely early stage modding, so use at your own risk!
Unlocks the arena so you can loot enemies and fight even in the dead of night. Also, you no longer need to wear the arena raiment!
-
[]removed the conditions for time of day,
[
]removed the script that prevents looting from the arena weapons and armours[]edited the weapon script so that even if I missed one, you can still loot it, as well as the combatant script for the same reason
[]edited the arena script and the arena raiment script to allow having another armour equipped. You may need to wear the raiment once though.
[]edited the script for the grand champion fights to remove the 1 week delay (you may need to do it once normally if you already had a week delay ongoing)
[]edited scripts to shorten the time to open gates (immediately after "Welcome to the arena!")
A few options are available:
- Full version - all features above
- Full without skipping the announcements to open the gate
- Only looting
- Only 24/7 arena (grand champion fights still take a week)
Install with vortex and you are done!

mezlo for the his mod idea (24 hour arena) on the original game which I used back in the day. I needed something like it here too! (It may not be the same though, I made this one from scratch)
Bethesda and Virtuos for the amazing remaster of one of my favourite games!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 374 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads
- Removes annoying time restrictions for arena fans
- Fixes a real vanilla bug that blocks fights
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated May 2025 — may not be compatible with future Oblivion patches or mods
- Only affects the arena — if you're not into arena content, this mod is pointless
For Oblivion players who love the arena but hate being told 'it's not the right time.' If you want to grind fights, loot your kills, and wear whatever you want without restrictions, this is for you. Skip if you never touch the arena or want gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any other arena-related mods to ensure the fix applies.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Looting opponents might affect game balance — save before a fight if you're worried about exploits.
