If you are using Winzip I have an idea what happened. Winzip allows you to right click on a zip files and get some quick unzip options. One is "Extract here" and one is "Extract to folder nnnnnnn" and for the n's it will insert the name of the zip file. If you used the second option it would have created a folder named the same as the zip file and then unzipped the contents of the zip file into that. The zip file itself was archived using a folder simply called "proportions".

What you did Nitey actually isn't a bad thing because not everybody does as good a job zipping up their mods as Pvk. Sometimes you will get one that is just the data folders ond other stuff that goes in the mod folder without the mod folder itself. If you just do a simple extract on those instead of "extract to folder" you run the risk of overwriting your stock SEIV folders. And if you end up with the mod folder inside another folder it's a simple matter as you say of moving the mod folder up a level.
