The .mod files always have to be in the mods folder. Additional resources may be in subfolders there, depending on how the mod is structured.

The worthy heroes mod has been incorporated into CBM. Those files/folders you are talking of are only the resource files for that, i.e. graphics.

Read the mod's instructions. I didn't look, but I expect that one is the older source, and the other is the files from llama's upgrade.

Did you try the FAQ? Though with mods, it's very easy, you just select the ones that you want to have active in the main menu, Preferences > Mod preferences. Though you only have to do that if you want to start a game or create a pretender god. If you open a game which has been created with mods, then the game automatically loads the mods required for you, you don't have to do so yourself.
