Need help with setting files for NMM

[SeriouslySarcastic]

So I just published my companions mod. For the NMM download option I used a .RAR file format when I was still building the mod page. When I try to install my mod via NMM it doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong?

what exactly doesn't work? do you get any error message?

Yes. Specifically in NMM it will say (FILE NAME) cant be added. And then under the status tab it will say incomplete. I have no idea if it's just me that can't download my own mod because I haven't seen a post in the bug section yet. But idk.

well , manually downloading the mod works , and the archive isn't corrupted

I don't have FO4 installed , so I can't test your NMM issue

but the archive seems to be packaged properly , and it's uploaded properly as well

can you currently install other mods via NMM? maybe it's a problem with your downloads or something? if so , maybe restarting your system might work?

I downloaded your mod and the first thing I noticed that you don't have the proper path. Not sure if that's the reason of the problem but I always create a path like this (lets say our mod is called 'CustomFollowers')

CustomFollowers(folder)-> Data(folder)-> your .esp and .BA2 files. Yoy are missing Data folder in your archive. Never had problems...though I usually use zip.

If that doesn't sort it, try renaming the ESPs without parentheses. Common delimiter characters like that can sometimes throw file name checking off in software that isn't looking for it. I don't know if NMM is or not, but that'd be my next thing to check.
