This thread is going to be dedicated to Valenwood Improved which can be found here.

I know a few of you have experience with VI. I am installing this now (reinstalling, actually, just to make sure I get all those meshes & textures and whatnot). I do not have any Elsweyr mods, so I won't have to worry about patches there.

So far, I am noting four archives included with Valenwood Improved: Full English, Full German, English Update, and German update. Apparently, the mod's DESC page is out-of-date. Its installation instructions say

Please unzip the archive and extract the folder completely to Oblivion\Data\ (without the *. txt). .

But that is incomplete. According to a couple random gamers in the mod's POSTS section, it's best to install..

1). Full German first
2). Full English second (overwriting stuff)
3). English Update.

Because apparently the German version has a few things missing from the English version? How does that sound, so far? Right, or wrong?

Okay thanks Wyrd, I appreciate! The thing about MOO is I don't use it to add creatures to the game at all. I only use its Vampire Sun Damage and a couple other random features here and there. I didn't like seeing elephants and crocs added into Cyrodiil so I turned all of that off.

But that would be an interesting experiment. Trying turning MOO all the way off, and see if there's any difference.

Another thing is, I have learned how to use Bash over the past 6 months or so. Maybe that'll help. In fact, Bash is really easy to use--no more difficult than Wrye Smash for Skyrim. I don't know why Bash's initial guide for Oblivion was written in such a complicated way, otherwise I would have tried WB sooner!

At the default normal and advanced presets you have a 33% chance of turning a grunt into a boss enemy in zone 3 (3 being the most dangerous, which is how MOO categorizes Valenwood).

Oh my gosh!

Valenwood is still in my game, my Bosmer has been there a couple times since I last posted. But only to Arpenia. So I need to try going further, to see how things work out.
