I would strongly suggest never extracting the mods directly into ../MODS/ folder in your SH5 folder.
The main reason for it, and I suspect that is your problem, that many mods come in various "flavours": inside of the main folder they might havemultiple other mods.
You have to make sure that when you place mods into /MODS/, the folder structure is ALWAYS as follows:
...\'your SH5 Install Folder'\MODS\'Name-of-the-mod'\data\
So, the best practice is to:
1) extract mods into a pre-designated folder
2) go to that folder >> to your mods folder that you extracted
3) find the actual mod in that folder: following the above rule it will be the folders with next folder as \data\
4) copy this folder to your \MODS\ folder
5) enable with JGSME
Here is a very good tutorial on how to install mods:
