Mod trouble RAR/7zip vs .daimod

[Nevara5]

Okay, I am kind of an idiot, but I have figured it out now, and hopefully this will help others if they have the same problem.

 

If you, after extracting, are left with .rar .7zip .8zip .notdaimod lol, and need .daimod files for DAIModManager to recognize/merge them, you can easily correct them by doing the following:

 

Download 8zip or some similar program that allows you to open those files, and then manually drag the .daimod that is hiding in there to your mod folder and tada! Now everything will merge!

 

Hope others find this helpful!

 

 

Original problem is below:

 

 

 

TL;DR

.rar files will not show up in the DAIModManager, only the .daimod files do, please help!

 

I have seen this topic, a couple of times, in different forums, so I apologize if there is a similar post out there. Nothing I found helped me to resolve my issue.

I have the latest version of DAIModManager, and that is running without issues. I've downloaded several mods from the Nexus, but the only ones that show up in the mod manager, after I merge files from my mods folder, are the .daimod files.

Any that, after unzipped, are .rar or .7zip, do not show up in the mod listing. They have been extracted properly into the same folder as the .daimod. I have been fruitlessly searching for a way to convert the .rar files to .daimod, and some suggested modding tools, but I do not understand what they mean or how to use them.

I have tried re-installing the manager and suit loader, re-downloading mods, re merging, repairing game etc, but nothing seems to be working.

If anyone has helpful suggestions or can tell this modding noob what I am doing wrong, I would appreciate it!

Ahhh, I love you. I've been trying to figure out what to do with my non-daimod files for hours and wasn't finding anything even remotely helpful until you lmao. Thank you. Hopefully my mods will actually work now. If they don't, I won't know what to do lmao.
