This is a list of official downloads, additional content created by Bethesda Softworks for Oblivion. Ten downloads have been released for Oblivion, with Shivering Isles serving as the game's only major expansion pack.
Excluding Shivering Isles and Fighter's Stronghold, all of the downloads are included on the Knights of the Nine retail disc. All ten downloads are included with the Game of the Year Deluxe Edition available on Steam or GOG, and with The Elder Scrolls Anthology; these are the only legitimate ways to acquire Fighter's Stronghold for PC. The Oblivion Game of the Year and 5th Anniversary Edition retail discs include only Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansion and not the other eight downloads. The downloads can no longer be purchased online individually for PC, but were originally available from Bethesda's Online Store and Direct2Drive. Downloads that were purchased from these vendors are not compatible with Steam versions of Oblivion.
Xbox 360 players could purchase any of the downloads from the Xbox Live Marketplace prior to its closure in July 2024. Both the Thieves Den and Wizard's Tower downloads were also provided on the Official Xbox Magazine's 67th promotional disc.
On PlayStation 3, Knights of the Nine is included with all versions of the game. Shivering Isles can be purchased from the Playstation Store and is also included with Game of the Year Edition. The other eight downloads have not been released for PS3 and are not available to purchase.

Further information
Downloads that require the 1.1.511 patch should only be viewed and edited with version 1.2 of the Construction Set. Alternatively, it is possible (although not recommended) to view the download in the original construction set if you hex edit the download's .esp file: make a backup of the .esp file, open it in a hex editor, and change the second line from "0C 00 00 00 80 3F" to "0C 00 CD CC 4C 3F".
FormIDs for content introduced with downloads differ from regular items; the first two digits are based on the number of downloads and mods installed and their load order (e.g., if the download is the first one loaded, the first two digits will be "01", for the second download "02", etc.). More information can be found on Formid.
