you CAN change and rearrange the textures folders to suit yourself. You just need to run correct reference on it afterwards. I don't leave anything in the original order because they just don't make sense to me. My textures are arranged by model category (characters, animals, props,clothes,hair, etc.)/model (vicky, mike, mildog,Hooded cloak,Gel hair, etc)/package name (Brandy, Boris, etc) and THEN merchant name if an extra folder is needed. And I never EVER install directly to my runtime. I always install to a dummy runtime first, arrange things the way I want them and run correct reference. That way I know if there are missing files and such BEFORE I wind up cluttering my runtime with something that's going to give me headaches when I load it. You wouldn't believe how many incorrect paths and file references there are in the products out there - and missing texture files is a LOT more prevalent that people think it is.
