GOG has just unveiled its latest project: one-click mods.
The PC platform said that as installing mods can be a bit of a time sink, the One-Click Mods project lets players browser, install, and play mods "faster and easier than ever." That's why it has collected a "curated" selection of premium mods and directly packed them with the corresponding game for "the smoothest installation."
Furthermore, GOG said "mods are [also] an essential part of video games preservation," letting community-made mods fix bugs and restore cutscenes, quests, and characters to games, as well as "freshly-made new content" by fans.
We can't wait to get Skyblivion into your hands later this year! Thanks to our friends over @GOGcom for helping us make that easier and more accessible. https://t.co/nxk8kXx7Qr

So far the depository includes mods for Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete, Doom 3, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, and Fallout 4. For the former, you'll get an expansion that adds new factions, campaigns, creatures, artifacts, and numerous quality-of-life improvements, such as a working multiplayer lobby system, while the latter is a one-click installation of Fallout: London, a standalone storyline set in the UK during the apocalypse events from Fallout 4.
For Doom 3, you get the Phobos mod, which is a prequel to the original game, delivering a "narrative-driven, classic-style FPS experience with modern enhancements," and for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, you get the unofficial patch which fixes numerous bugs "left unresolved by the original developers," as well as restored and enhanced cut content such as quests, levels, characters, and dialogue.
That's not all, though; Skyblivion, the hotly anticipated mod for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, is also coming to GOG later this year and will be a part of the One-Click Mods project.
Skyblivion is the volunteer-based project by the TESRenewal modding group, which aims to remake The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Skyrim: Special Edition. Bethesda has given the project its blessing, despite releasing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered itself in April. Bethesda even gifted Oblivion Remastered keys to the entire Skyblivion modding team.
This is just the latest in a slew of projects from GOG designed to preserve games. Last year, it announced its preservation program to ensure the longevity of games like Resident Evil, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Witcher 2. It follows increasing concerns from developers and players alike that the move toward online- and digital-only games will see some made unavailable entirely, such as The Crew, which Ubisoft removed from sale and took offline in March 2024.
