Make sure the current version of Banished - v 1.0.7 build 170910. The version is shown at the bottom of the opening screen.
As Red Ketchup says, you must extract the 3 .pkm files from the .rar file you downloaded using a program you already may have that willl do that or one like 7-Zip (which can be obtained free from the internet). The 3 .pkm files need to be moved into your Banished > WinData folder; they can't be in a subfolder. The WinData folder must contain 4 other files: data0.pkg, data1.pkg, patch0.pkg and patch1.pkg.
When you open Banished, the 3 MegaMod files should appear in Mods. It shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes to get to the opening menu. Make sure the 3 files are in the correct order (1, 2, 3), and check each one. Then exit the game completely before starting a new game. That will help prevent crashes.
If you are completely new to mods in Banished, I would recommend that you start by using something that isn't as complex (and HUGE) as MegaMod which includes Colonial Charter 1.76 plus 200 or so additional mods.. Since you are on the BlackLiquid forum, of course I would recommend Colonial Charter 1.76, but Red Ketchup's Editor's Choice (RKEC) mod is really nice too plus there's a "light" version you might want to try 1st. Both <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> 1.76 and RKEC are available on the Steam Workshop (if you use Steam) or <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> 1.76 can be downloaded from here and RKEC can be downloaded from WorldofBanished.com.
