Most mods are in a ZIP or RAR file, with instructions where to place the mod file.
the mod files are usually in the format.. gamefolder\data\... and use the JSGME mod enabler to install them.

You'd usually extract the mod file to the gamefolder\MOD\... folder and the JSGME executable (virus free - check this though) will install it into you game files from this MOD folder.
The JSGME executable is placed in your SH4 gamefolder.

I'd would not touch any mods that install with a *.exe file.

Make sure your mod versions match the SH4 version, as there is SH4 v1.4 and its mods, but the latest is SH4 v1.5 and all mods now are geared for this version.
There are incompatibilities with SH4-vs-Mod mismatches that can cause the 'death screen'. This can also occur if you graphics card does not have enough memory/VRam, as TMO is graphics intensive.
Maybe you should try TMO-Lite ( I think this exists)
