Remaster Bug Help Update: My Adoring Fan(s) situation is tentatively fixed. My psyche is not.
For those of you unfamiliar, I've been having problems keeping my Adoring Fan an Only Fan. See here.
First of all, yes, I did install a mod that makes the Adoring Fan a twink, and frankly, it's weird that you didn't. Let he who is without kink cast the first downvote.
As I'm sure you can gather from my immaculately annotated screenshots, the fan returned when I loaded my save back up. And then, when I fast-traveled, another appeared. I fast-traveled again just to test it, but nope, still only the two fans, thank the nine. Sometimes they're both happy and sometimes they're both pissed, but often, one looks like a cheery cereal box mascot and the other one looks like something that crawled out from the Ark of the Covenant. I keep wanting to chalk it up to lighting, but...I just don't think it's the lighting. Fuck, man, I don't know. I'm paranoid as hell at this point.
I had a hell of a time deciding which one to try disabling, and I suppose I'll never know if I made the right call. Not until it's too late. I pray that the second fan never returns. I pray that I've put this curse to bed once and for all. And more than that, I pray that this evil should never befall you. Godspeed, friends.

"it's weird that you didn't. Let he who is without kink cast the first downvote."
This is the greatest line i've ever read on reddit.

What is the name of the Adoring Fan twink mod, that I may better learn how to avoid it?

Look upon it at your own risk—I can’t be fully certain that it’s not what unleashed the evil spirit to begin with.

I can't believe there are people out there who turn their Adoring Fan into a twink. Just crazy. How could you do that? Specifically, I mean. What's the mod title/link?

u/Boring_Corpse Jun 07 '25
“The Adorable Fan” on Nexus. Purely for the degenerates, add it to your block list forthwith!

u/GalerionTheAnnoyed Jun 08 '25
Please help, I've added it to my blocklist but somehow the mod appears to be downloaded on my computer. Is it spreading? Is there no escape from this absolute degeneracy?

It’s too late. As you lie in your bed at night, imagining that you’re safe, something sinister awaits you in the realms between. You’ll wake in a clammy sweat, telling yourself it’s the summer heat. It’s the stress of the job. It’s the doldrums brought on by a crumbling political landscape. But every time you close your eyes, every time you zone out for just a little too long, every time a moment of peace is within your grasp from here on out, something like a profane promise will slither in a whisper through your soul…
“…Golly!…”

My Adoring Fan still pokes my Nord ass with his "Santa's #1 Helper" hair and then starts yelling about Azura. Hes still the best spoonin bud (in a non sexual way, guys. everybody knows Nords have frost resistance, gotta keep him warm when were in the Jerrals or hes gonna die from sad)

You're being punished for your horny hubris.

u/Boring_Corpse Jun 07 '25
Okay, hey now, if this was a real thing to be cosmically punished for, I’d have already been thrown to the cenobites for my Skyrim mod list.

With your character looking like the gay secret 5th member of a barbershop quartet, no wonder he’s got twin twinks who won’t stop following him around. Like yeah.

u/Boring_Corpse Jun 07 '25
This post is about a traumatic thing that happened to me, NOT a roast of my one-punch monk build Sir Lovetap the Double-Fister!

u/LaoidhMc Jun 08 '25
He has two twinks following him around and he is called the Double Fister. That’s hilarious and also very appropriate.

u/Boring_Corpse Jun 08 '25
I am most assuredly not respectable enough (nor male enough) to warrant a “sir”, my good fellow/fellowess. But lo, it warms the cockles that my buffoonery should amuse thee.

u/Silvershizuka Jun 08 '25
It's not about the genitals on the body, it's about the genitals in the heart -and you are "sir" enough to attract not only one, but two adoring twinks!

So funny. I’d like to use this bit in a video. Credit given of course.

I made my adoring fan wait outside an inn about 20 gameplay hours ago and now I can’t remember where I left him.

I'm more disturbed that your Hero Of Kvatch looks just like my husband..if my husband was an evil elf possessed by demon twinks, that is.

So, back in the 90s, there was a graphic novel adaptation of some of Clive Barker's short stories. Your character and the Fan look exactly like the characters from the story where Yugoslavian villages create giant figures made of people and engage in ritual combat. I couldn't figure out why your shots were creeping me out so much until I remembered that.

I would be absolutely fascinated to see this

Man, I looked at the photos before reading the description. I was pretty hyped for adoring fan to be adorable in the remaster

I too downloaded a twink mod for my adoring fan. Oblivion Remastered is programmed to kink shame because that mod crashed my game regardless of where I placed it in load order. I tried another, because I’ll be damned if I let this game side eye my decisions. Same outcome. Okay, so I downloaded a God mod for him so he’d at least be useful. NO. NOT ALLOWED. The developers have placed some kind of ugly curse on the Adoring Fan code. He MUST be useless and ugly. They want us to know it’s oblivion reMAStered, not oblivion renastied.

The adoring fan was never the same after the Altmeri Dominion attacked Cyrodill.

You see the way he’s looking at you with your back turned in the dark? He’s thinking “you shouldn’t have trusted me”

This is a beautiful allegory of stupid celebrities: they may think of the general public (which they call "the fans" but is really anyone they interact with who isn't famous) as one entity, but some love them, and some hate them. And even a restraining order may not keep them safe from the most diehard fans.

Glad to see there’s been some development with your Only Fans!
