+            It is strongly recommended that you use the "unfree" variant of this package,
+            which provides support for mods packaged as RAR archives.

+            You can also enable unrar support manually, by overriding the `_7zz` used:
+
+            ```nix
+            pkgs.nexusmods-app.override {
+              _7zz = pkgs._7zz.override {
