In the future if you are ever confused with the way someone zipped their mod... just do this:
1. Navigate into the zip file till you see a "data" folder.
3. Then go back one level
4. This is the folder you need to drop drag and drop into your MODS folder. In this case it's the folder named "For Mods Folder".
5. If you dont like the name it has, change it to something more suitable.

Also:
If the only thing contained in a zip file is a data folder.. you need to make your own folder in the MODS folder, give it a name for the mod.. and then drop the "data" folder into it.


The Structure is like this:

\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\Name of Mod\data
guys I messed up with the folder structure in the zip file. I see it's been hard for new people that aren't familiar with JSGME to use because of my error. The folder in my zip file 'for_MODS_folder' should have another folder under it - the name of the mod AND then under that the folder \data. I'll correct my uploaded zip files to reflect this change. I'll also update their readme text files to reflect this change.
