After a wave of controversy, the mod Body Type Selector, which reintroduces traditional gender options in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, has quietly returned to Nexus Mods. Originally, the remaster replaced the classic "Male/Female" character creation option with "Body Type 1/Body Type 2," sparking backlash among players. The mod correcting this was initially removed and its creator banned.

This further fueled dissatisfaction among the community, especially among Chinese users, who reportedly began canceling premium subscriptions en masse.

Now, users have noticed the mod has reappeared on the site. Although Nexus Mods has not issued an official statement, many believe community pressure prompted the platform to reverse its decision. However, the comments section under the mod remains disabled.
