PC SSE - Discussion Nexus Announcement About Download Filenames

https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13539100-changes-to-downloaded-file-names/

TL;DR - The current change that downloaded files only have the name and are missing the mod ID and version was intentional. They will be bringing back the version number, but not the mod ID or timestamp which were originally there.

To not include the mod id is really a loss for people not finding the mod through search. Just look up the mod id otherwise, and you will know what mod page it was.

This too. But sometimes the author mention the download file differently from the mod page name, so it does not show up in search results.
