* This function, doesn't actually return the real name of the mod it returns the .esm or .esp in your load order. (eg. Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Hearthfire.esm.)
* This function can be a little misleading, it returns the .esm or .esp in your load order, eg. Skyrim.esm. A mod however could be named, for example "Fall of Saber." and have a esp called Tigers.esp. This would return Tigers.esp and not Fall of Saber.
