hmm check out Oblivion Remastered EULA.
https://store.steampowered.com//eula/2623190_eula_1There is a section about Anti-Cheat software/tools, access to your computer & mods being non-allowed unless expressly permitted.
ps. I checked on steamdb I don't see any anti-cheat software listed.
Seems odd for a single player game based on a franchise that is the most modded ever.
But one could argue it's a safety net, boiler plate section.
Modding may just be a gray area, or it may be a suit knocking at your door.
