help with mod insertion please

[sidhos]

I haven't played in years and just added Dom3 to this computer. I downloaded a couple of mods (CBM 1.94 and mythology). I went into Dom3 and made a mod folder, as I didn't see one there already. Then extracted the two mods into the mods folder. I did name it mods, not mod, if that makes a difference.
So I can see them in mod preferences and enable/disable them. When I go to the create a pretender screen this happens: When I have CBM enabled, game CTD's with message about failed weapon or something. Same thing with myth mod, only says something about missing spell or some such.
Anyways, have I done something wrong with my placement of the mods into the game?

Thanks in advance, for any help.
