Happy to help. Which route works best depends on where your copy of Oblivion comes from, so here’s the setup for each case, plus what to send if it still fails. If you own it on Steam If you have the GOG installer or a disc/ISO, use Bottles: Create a new bottle, choose the Gaming environment, and keep the default runner (Soda/Caffe). Gaming bottles enable DXVK, which Oblivion needs to render properly. Common snags Disc versions use copy protection that often doesn’t run under Wine. The GOG or Steam version avoids that. If it still fails, please share: Where the game comes from (Steam / GOG / disc). With that I can tell you the exact fix. |

Thank you for your reply. How do I get it to run without putting in the
disk?

if it still fails.
If you own it on Steam
Skip Bottles. Install the native Linux Steam client and enable Steam Play
(Proton) in Settings → Compatibility. Oblivion GOTY runs well that way. For
mods, look at Mod Organizer 2 set up for Proton (e.g. with Steam Tinker
Launch), which is the most common Linux setup.
If you have the GOG installer or a disc/ISO, use Bottles:
Create a new bottle, choose the Gaming environment, and keep the default
runner (Soda/Caffe). Gaming bottles enable DXVK, which Oblivion needs to
render properly.
Open the bottle → Run Executable → select the installer:
GOG: setup_oblivion_….exe
Disc: mount the ISO or disc and run setup.exe from it.
Install to the default path (C:\Program Files… inside the bottle).
Back in the bottle, use Add Shortcuts and point it to
OblivionLauncher.exe, run it once to generate the config, then add
Oblivion.exe for playing.
Mod manager: install it into the same bottle the same way (Run Executable
→ installer, then add a shortcut). Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer 2 both need
to see the game folder inside that bottle.
Common snags
Disc versions use copy protection that often doesn’t run under Wine. The
GOG or Steam version avoids that.
If the Flatpak version of Bottles can’t see your installer, move the file
into ~/Downloads or grant access with Flatseal.
If it still fails, please share:
Where the game comes from (Steam / GOG / disc).
How you installed Bottles (Flatpak?) and its version.
What exactly happens: an error message, nothing launching, a crash, etc. A
screenshot or the log from the bottle’s ⋮ menu helps.
With that I can tell you the exact fix.

The retail disc version checks for the disc every time it starts. There are two clean ways around keeping the disc in the drive: Option 1: Use an image of your own disc (no disc needed afterwards) Make an ISO once with the disc in the drive. Run this in a terminal: (or use a disc burning app like Brasero/K3b → “Copy disc → image file”). If your copy has more than one disc, make one ISO per disc. Open your bottle → Settings → Drives → add drive D: pointing to the mounted ISO’s folder. Option 2: Get the GOG version If this helps, please mark it as the answer |

Can I not use a No Cd fix?

Make an ISO once with the disc in the drive. Run this in a terminal:
bash
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/Games/oblivion.iso bs=2048 status=progress
(or use a disc burning app like Brasero/K3b → “Copy disc → image file”).
If your copy has more than one disc, make one ISO per disc.
2. Mount the ISO: right-click it in your file manager → Open With → Disk
Image Mounter. It shows up like a real disc (under /run/media//…).
3. Make Bottles see it as a CD drive:
Open your bottle → Settings → Drives → add drive D: pointing to the
mounted ISO’s folder.
Then go to Legacy Wine Tools → Configuration (winecfg) → Drives tab →
select D: → Show Advanced → set Type: CD-ROM. The game’s disc check looks
for a CD drive specifically.
If Bottles is a Flatpak and can’t see the folder, grant access to
/run/media with Flatseal.
Launch the game as usual. You just need to mount the ISO before playing,
no physical disc.
Option 2: Get the GOG version
The GOG release of Oblivion GOTY Deluxe
<https://www.gog.com/en/game/elder_scrolls_iv_oblivion_game_of_the_year_edition_deluxe_the>
has no disc check or DRM at all, and its installer works well in Bottles.
It’s often on sale for a few dollars. This is also the smoothest base for
mods and a mod manager.

I’d steer clear of no-CD fixes. They’re modified game executables that bypass the copy protection, so I can’t recommend or point to one. They usually come from sketchy download sites (a common way to get malware), and depending on where you live, bypassing copy protection can be illegal even on a game you own. They also tend to break with mod managers and patches that expect the original executable. The two options from before get you the same result without that risk: Disc image (free, uses your own disc): make an ISO of your disc once, mount it, and map it in Bottles as a CD-ROM drive (D:). After that you never need the physical disc; you just mount the ISO before playing. The steps are in my earlier reply. If you try the ISO route and get stuck on any step, post what happens and I’ll help you through it. |

GOG version: completely DRM-free, no disc or check of any kind, and the
easiest to mod. It’s frequently on sale for a few dollars.

Sounds good! Here’s the mod manager part, so you have everything in one place. Recommended: Wrye Bash (simplest under Bottles) Download the Standalone (.7z/.exe) version of Wrye Bash from its GitHub releases or Nexus Mods. Also install OBSE first Mod Organizer 2? |

Recommended: Wrye Bash (simplest under Bottles)
Download the Standalone (.7z/.exe) version of Wrye Bash from its GitHub
releases <https://github.com/wrye-bash/wrye-bash/releases> or Nexus Mods.
Extract it inside the bottle, next to the game folder (e.g. C:\Program
Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Mopy). The Mopy folder must sit inside
the Oblivion folder.
In Bottles: Add Shortcuts → Mopy\Wrye Bash.exe → launch it. It finds the
game because it’s in the game folder.
Install mods from the Installers tab, then use Bashed Patch to merge
leveled lists.
Also install OBSE first
Most Oblivion mods need the Oblivion Script Extender. Copy its files into
the Oblivion folder, then launch the game through obse_loader.exe (add it
as a shortcut in Bottles instead of Oblivion.exe). OBSE needs the game at
patch 1.2.0416. GOTY already ships with it; older discs need the official
patch first.
Mod Organizer 2?
It works, but under Wine/Bottles it’s fiddlier (its virtual file system
and .NET dependencies). If you want to try it, do Wrye Bash first, so you
know the game itself runs fine.

Good question! In Oblivion, when two mods change the same thing (say, both add new items to the same merchant or enemy list), the game only uses the version from the mod loaded last, and the other mod's changes are silently lost. The Bashed Patch is a small plugin that Wrye Bash builds for you to fix that. It: How to use it With only a couple of mods that don't overlap you don't strictly need it, but it's harmless and saves trouble later. |

The Bashed Patch is a small plugin that Wrye Bash builds for you to fix
that. It:
• Merges leveled lists from all your mods, so new weapons, armor and creatures from every mod actually show up.
• Combines other overlapping changes (names, stats, etc.) that it knows how to merge safely.
• Can merge small plugins into itself, which helps with Oblivion's 255-plugin limit.
How to use it
1. Install and activate your mods first.
2. In Wrye Bash's Mods tab, find Bashed Patch, 0.esp (Wrye Bash creates it automatically).
3. Right-click it → Rebuild Patch → keep the default options → Build Patch.
4. Make sure it's checked (active) and last in the load order.
5. Rebuild it whenever you add, remove or update mods.
With only a couple of mods that don't overlap you don't strictly need it,
but it's harmless and saves trouble later.

Usually no. You only need the expansion discs (or images of them) to install Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. After that they’re just data files in the Data folder, and the startup disc check is done by the main game, which looks for the Oblivion disc. So: Install the base game, then both expansions, from the discs (or their ISOs). If the game ever asks for a different disc at launch, make an image of that one too and mount it instead. If your GOTY copy puts everything on one disc, then that one image covers all of it. Quick check that the expansions are active: in Wrye Bash (or the launcher’s Data Files), Knights.esp and DLCShiveringIsles.esp should be listed and checked. (Full disclosure: I’ve been drafting these replies with help from an AI assistant and checking the details, but if anything doesn’t match what you see, tell me.) |

Windows with Mod Manager 2 you can.

So:

Keep an image only of the disc the game asks for when it starts, normally
the main Oblivion disc, and mount that one before playing.
If the game ever asks for a different disc at launch, make an image of
that one too and mount it instead. If your GOTY copy puts everything on one

Yes. There are a few ways to do it, depending on what you mean by "more than one game":
MO2 itself can run under Bottles too, profiles included, but it's fiddlier to set up under Wine than Wrye Bash. Options 2 and 3 cover the same need with less hassle. |

Yes. There are a few ways to do it, depending on what you mean by "more
than one game":
1.
Several characters, same mods
Nothing special needed. Oblivion keeps every character's saves in the
same folder, so start a new game and load whichever save you want.
2.
Separate playthroughs with their own saves (and load order): Wrye Bash
save profiles
This is the closest thing to MO2 profiles in Wrye Bash:
• Go to the Saves tab → the Profile drop-down at the top → Edit
Profiles… → New, and give it a name (e.g. "Mage run").
• Each profile gets its own saves folder, and Wrye Bash remembers
which mods were active in each one, so switching profiles also switches the
load order.
• Rebuild the Bashed Patch after switching if the two setups use
different mods.
3.
Completely different modded setups: one bottle per game
In Bottles, you can make a second bottle and install Oblivion into it
as well. Each bottle is a fully separate Windows environment, with its own
game folder, mods, Wrye Bash and saves, so heavy mod lists can't interfere
with each other. Bottles' Snapshots feature (in the bottle's options) is
also handy: take a snapshot before trying a big mod, and roll back if it
breaks.

The retail disc version checks for the disc every time it starts. There
are two clean ways around keeping the disc in the drive:
Option 1: Use an image of your own disc (no disc needed afterwards)
Make an ISO once with the disc in the drive. Run this in a terminal:
bash
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/Games/oblivion.iso bs=2048 status=progress
(or use a disc burning app like Brasero/K3b → “Copy disc → image file”).
If your copy has more than one disc, make one ISO per disc.
2. Mount the ISO: right-click it in your file manager → Open With → Disk
Image Mounter. It shows up like a real disc (under /run/media//…).
3. Make Bottles see it as a CD drive:
Open your bottle → Settings → Drives → add drive D: pointing to the
mounted ISO’s folder.
Then go to Legacy Wine Tools → Configuration (winecfg) → Drives tab →
select D: → Show Advanced → set Type: CD-ROM. The game’s disc check looks
for a CD drive specifically.
If Bottles is a Flatpak and can’t see the folder, grant access to
/run/media with Flatseal.
Launch the game as usual. You just need to mount the ISO before playing,
no physical disc.
Option 2: Get the GOG version
The GOG release of Oblivion GOTY Deluxe
<https://www.gog.com/en/game/elder_scrolls_iv_oblivion_game_of_the_year_edition_deluxe_the>
has no disc check or DRM at all, and its installer works well in Bottles.
It’s often on sale for a few dollars. This is also the smoothest base for
mods and a mod manager.
If this helps, please mark it as the answer
