You can have mods in separate folders; some files are required for a mod (basically all of the files in the Data directory) and some are optional (basically everything else). Matryx's Mod Launcher will autodetect mods if you place them in folders under your SE4 folder; my Mod Selector will autodetect mods if you place them in folders under a Mods folder under your SE4 folder. The structure of the mod folder is identical to the structure of the SE4 folder, so it would have its own Data, Pictures, etc. and you might have something like se4\Adamant-Mod\Data\Components.txt for one of your mod files.
