So, I've been playing today with this mod and there is an issue with it. And It might be an incompatibility with something like near buillding, or just a bug of nested containers by itself.
Basically I can't unpack or unbox any packaged items like cigarette package or box of energy bars. Also I was not able to saw planks from logs. Once I removed nested containers it all worked again.

I just pushed a update which fixes the recent change that caused the errors.
There're also more mod options so you can now filter what items get nested, for example only loose backpacks in the pockets.
