Hey i JUST started modding for the first time and i easily got a companion mod to work, but then i tried to use a bullet time mod and it wouldn't even show up in the data files. i then altered the ending from _112-35823.7z to _NV.esp . now the mod shows up in the data files but even when i check it there it doesn't seem to actually run in the game.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I'd like to get this to work. and help would be appreciated.

You need to unzip the mod, renaming it to .esp doesn't change the format. The .esp is inside the .7z, but they're two entirely different kinds of files.

Thanks! took me a little bit to figure out the program but i got it to work.

It is always better to read the manual from where you download the mod.
