If it is you should see this version number in the upper right corner of the Main Menu.

If you don't see that number > run this;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
This should get SH5 patched and next time you launch SH5 you should see v1.2.0 in the Main Menu.

Please note - ALL mods you apply with JSGME must have the following structure (here is an example); OPEN HORIZONS II_base v1.6\data
In some mods there can be a 'Documents' or 'Documentation' folder like this; OPEN HORIZONS II_base v1.6\Documents. You can let it stay there as it won't affect the mod.

When downloading mods save them in a folder anywhere you find convenient on your computer.
After this -
1. Make a copy of the mod (make sure you copy just the folder; 'Mod's name'\data'
then
2. Paste this copy into; C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

If you now open the JSGME you should find the mod in the left column ready to activate.
Don't activate any mods on patrol or during campaign missions. Only before starting the SH5 or even in the bunker.
(Despite this, some mods could run OK but to be sure - just activate before starting the SH5 or in the bunker)

If you should happen to activate a mod while at sea most mods won't work properly until you start SH5 next time.
Or even - if you're running a campaign and activate a mod (when SH5 is not running or when in the bunker) this could cause your campaign won't start next time you try to start it.
If this happens, just exit SH5 and deactivate the last activated mod/mods and your campaign should start again.

And - please post your mods list
