Usage Instructions
Using Link++
A basic demonstration for Link++ users is in this page's images.
- You'll find Link++ in your game menu
- Turn on and customize any area you want to have custom settings. Turn off anywhere you don't.
- Set Your "User Default" Values. These will be used when you are outside any areas that are turned on and have custom graphics settings.
If you don't use Link++
You can configure the mod in the City Settings.ini file included. It should be in Oblivion\Data\ini\CitySettings. The values in the .ini file will be added automatically when the game loads.

Compatibility
No known incompatibilities at present
Oblivion Reloaded, ORC or an OR fork:
If you are using an Oblivion Reloaded type mod's exterior or interior shadows, you should prevent City Settings from editing the shadows. You can do this in the City Settings Link++ main Module or the City Settings.ini.
These mods have an option called Smart FPS. This might prevent City Settings from functioning as expected. You can turn Smart FPS off in their configuration files.
Uninstall
Just delete the plugin. There will be no issues. The last graphical values that were used by the mod
will be left in your Oblivion.ini file in \Documents\My Games\Oblivion\oblivion.ini.
You will have to change them back in the in-game graphics settings menu or have a backup oblivion.ini saved.
