Unless you are a mod developer, there is no reason to unpack the mod. This is not a supported installation method.


Only uncompress the BSA archive into loose files if you are a mod developer and you know exactly what you are doing. Loose files are always loaded instead of their BSA archive equivalents, which may mean that you don’t get the latest files on upgrade and could cause certain functions of the mod to break. Uncompressing the archive into loose files leaves you open to upgrade issues down the road.
