This MOD reduce adboards, graffities, tents, flags, and some metal constructions beside the track. Helicopter, Planes, Balloons and moving circusparts are completely removed from the racetrack.
All real racetracks in Shift are patched, the fictional tracks lacking only some generic things (planes, some ads, etc).

////Installation
!Warning!
To use this mod, you have to completely unpack the hole game, this is timeconsuming (about 30 minutes) and should only be done with a full game backup!
I've wrote a small batch file (game_unpack.bat), which does the unpacking job for you and moves the pakfile folder to a backuplocation. Place the files in the "Reduced_Bling_MOD_with_UnpackerScript+EXE" zip in the root folder of the game where your "shift.exe" is located. If you installed the game on your systemdrive you may need to run the batch file with administrator rights. After successfully unpacking, use the "backup_reduced_bling_original_files.bat" to backup all files the mod will overwriter with its installation. Install the mod with the "install_reduce_bling_modfiles.bat" script.
Last step, create a shortcut to your "shift.exe" and edit its properties, add the "-loose" parameter to the patch of the executable.
You can always remove the mod by using the "restore_original_files.bat" script.

Why unpacking the hole game? Some clever guys find the "-loose" parameter, to circumvent some problems with the repacker-tool. It is not possible to repack the *.bff archives of the tracks. The programmer of the repacker, will not further investigate a way to repack all files since you can run and mod the game with in a unpacked status.

You cannot use mods which are delivered as .bff archives any further.
I will reupload the small tweaks which I done so far, to run it with a unpacked game. This is an easier way for all guys who are interested in a modification of the game. You can simply edit the game parameters by yourself without unpacking/repacking for each try, or copy future modfiles in your game.
