One thing to note about the mod launcher : It only detects mods that are 1 directory deep
So when you extract Pirates and Nomads V2.2 you need to extract it into \<SE4Directory>\Pirates or something similar rather than \suicidejunkiemods\pirates&nomadsv2.2
SJ : Dont suppose I can hassle you to change the format of the .Zip file can I?
And also to include a ModInfo.txt in the mod's root directory?
I can even provide one for you if you want.
