Need some help with FOMod / Mod managers think 2 different mods are the same

I'm converting some of my mods to use FOMod to manage the installation a bit better. XML files are below never mind, this forum wont display the XML correctly

 

The strange thing is: when I install Home Sweet Home in NMM and then Aygas, it thinks the second mod is an update of the first one and prompts me to overwrite or upgrade: "A different version of Home Sweet Home in already installed. Installing version 0.50, installed version 1.18". if I install them the other way around, the same thing happens.

 

Why is this?

Make sure that the mods name/title differs in ModuleConfig.XML and info.XML.

Thanks!  I checked, and they are different. But they both started with "PAH - ", and as it turns out NMM stops reading the name at the dash.  After removing that, it is able to distinguish between the 2 mods.

NMM, Vortex and MO ignore everything after a dash, treating it like a sub title.

Usually usefull if modders use proper names like this:
MyMod - Main

MyMod - Dawnguard Support

MyMod - Patch V08.15
This way everything is merged into one mod, replacing when needed.
