Oblivion Performance and Utility Mods Options

[SubRosa]

I did some tinkering with Oblivion and its array of helpful mods today, and thought I would share some of my discoveries.

All of these require OBSE

Oblivion Display Tweaks = this helps with microstutter and other things. It is compatible with OSR, but only if you Turn off bReplaceGetTickCount in Oblivion Stutter Remover's .ini file.

Oblivion Stutter Remover = of course.

OSR Optimized .Ini File = Is just the .ini for OSR, and has the bReplaceGetTickCount disables, among other tweaks.

Engine Bug Fixes = A bunch of bug fixes.

SkyBSA = Changes the way Oblivion puts BSA assets in your load order to act the same way Skyrim does, namely by no longer mucking with timestamps, and just going by your load order.

Very much appreciated that you have put together this list, milady Rosa. I have a couple that I have also used in the past-- I think one of them is called 4GB Patch or something. I know there's a utility also which is supposed to enhance Oblivion's use of extra cores. Maybe that is 4GB patch, I don't remember. Whatever it is, I remember it really made a difference with performance for me.

Of your list, I occasionally use Oblivion Stutter Remover, set to 30 fps, and only when we go into Better Cities towns. The rest of the time, I haven't got this running. Getting 60 fps out in the countryside is glorious to me! It's a wonder, after years of 30 on the consoles. Because of this, I've never seen a need for Quarl's or any other visual add-ons.
