Valenwood Improved. Options

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 Apparently, the mod's DESC page is out-of-date.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?

I am almost ready to try this - with a twist. I want it in TWMP.

TWMP has every region of Tamriel, and apparently it is even possible to actually install it all, including Morroblivion. I found instructions here: How to install all TWMP mods plus Morroblivion. It includes Valenwood Improved - note that it includes both the original Valenwood Improved and its TWMP port, both suffer from incompleteness and somehow complement each other.

I am currently in Skyrim (TWMP Skyrim Improved), and I'm building a few things there, but then I'll go South and then we'll see! Building stuff is half the fun...

Oh, and I'll have to try the instructions in a different order because I already have Hammerfell and Skyrim (they come in one module), and I installed Elsweyr separately. So once Lena's adventures take her South, I'll try both Valenwood mods and see how good or bad the land tears are. I might just fix them, actually...
