I have never had too much of a problem with that. Maybe because I keep my downloads organized in folders named for what it is. For me it is much easier to keep track of what I have, than just installing everything to the same folder. As far as the Director's Cut, I downloaded it, but didn't install it, only because I wouldn't use everything in it. I came up with the system I use after first installing everything directly into the downloads folder, then scratching my head to figure out what was in there when my game had issues with something.
I did try the a couple programs made for handling the installation of custom content, but the files did not seem to be that organized to me.
What I ended up having, is, one directory for everything in zip or rar form, and an identical folder structure in my downloads folder with the package files (so far I have not had any issues with something that needed to load before something else). To keep things simple, each folder in the directory with the zips and rars has a "1 installed" folder for what I installed in my game. If something does not work correctly, it is very easy to remove it from my downloads and move it out of the "1 installed" folder.
Anyway, that is just my 2 cents on it.
