New to mods and confused!

Hi Floater, I don't use either RUB or IUB so I'm not exactly sure what the problem is but if you are starting to use mods for the first time I would recommend that you start be trying to install a small simple mod rather then very large complex ones like RUB and IUB. That way it is easier to see what is going on and troubleshoot any potential problems. When you install JSGME into the root folder it creates the MODS folder. Initially all that should be in that folder is an empty folder called "!Backup". Each of the mods you wish to install should be copied into the MODS folder and should be structured as follows. Lets take a simple mod like my "SHIII Internal Life Mod" (completely shameless Plug) as an example, it contains a number of wav files that go into the "Sound" folder so in the MODS folder I copy a folder called:

SHIII Internal Life Mod (Folder)
.
.
.data(Folder)...........Sound(folder)......wav files

every mod installed using JSGME has to replicate the file structure of the game otherwise the JSGME utility cannot correctly backup the original files properly or install the mod files in the correct folder. I hope this helps a little Floater, if its stuff you already know then I'm sorry. When I started using mods I had similer problems because the file structure was incorrect. I really think you should try installing a couple of simple graphic mods first to see exactly whats going on. At this stage I have 40+ mods installed and have not had any problems since the beginning.
