2. Move the Sound folder, Textures folder and the ESP into "00 Core Files"
3. Rename the "Oblivion XP" folder, "00 Docs"
4. Move the INI from out of "00 Docs" into "00 Core Files"
5. Create a "01 DarN" folder
6. Create a 01 DarkUIdDarN folder
7. Create a 01 Vanilla folder
8. Duplicate the Menus folder three times (so that you have four versions of it)
9. In one of the Menus folder delete all files and folders except for the "prefabs" folder
10. Move that folder into 00 Core Files (and rename it to "Menus" if necessary)
11. Delete the "prefabs" folder from all of the other copies of the Menus folder
12. Delete the "prefabs" folder from all of the other copies of the Menus folder
13. In one of the Menus folders, remove the "_Vanilla" from the end of each XML file (one at the top level, three in "Main")1) Delete all other "_<some UI mod>" XML files
14. Move that folder into 01 Vanilla and make sure its name is "Menus" (rename it if necessary)
15. In each of the other copies of the Menus folder delete the "_Vanilla" XMLs
16. For one copy of the Menus folder, remove all of the "_DarN" XMLs and remove the "_DarkUIdDarN" from the remaining XMLs
17. Move that folder into "01 DarkUIdDarN"
18. Remove the "_DarkUIdDarN" files from the remaing copy of the Menus folder
19. Remove "_DarN" from each of the XMLs
