After a load of digging it turns out I was stupid again.
Stupid for thinking that when downloading a game for the very first time via Uplay that it would actually download the latest version of the bloody game!!!!
Nope - It installs 1.1.5 and acts like that is the latest version!!
Trying to manually run the 1.2 patch does not work so I had to go digging in the SH5 folder and find the gameupdater file and run that. Hurah! I'm not running 1.2 so should no longer encounter CTD with the mods.
Thanks for all your help Sober, I know I've bothered you in your own thread
Carry on peeps, ignore that newb that is me!
