It's a special mod installation format, inspired by things such as the umods for unreal, that allows you to package a mod into a single file. Everything -- the mod itself and its data files -- are in the .omod file.

You need Oblivion Mod Manager to, well, manage these mods. Another of TimeSlip's great TES software.

Depending on the compression type, contains either a LZMA stream or a Deflated one

Zip-level compression.

Here, took me 10 seconds. The Internet is not rocket science, people!
