Mods not working?

You'll have to be much more specific. WHICH mods?
Are you sure those mods actually work at all? Any mod made more than a couple months ago often doesn't work any more, and most of the mods in the Mod Browser have been abandoned by their original creators. Check the thread for that mod on this board; if the mod doesn't have a thread here, there's a pretty good chance it's nonfunctional. If it DOES have a thread here, and the mod hasn't been updated recently, then the thread will often say so.
Based on your comment I'm assuming that the mod in question is at least partially a map script, because most mods don't HAVE something under the Maps entry. Mods and maps are almost totally separate from each other.
And if you've never had any mod work at all, there's a good chance you didn't actually install it correctly, or that your machine has a permission issue with the directory it tried to store the files in. Go into your My Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/MODS/ directory. There should be a subdirectory for each mod you've successfully installed; if there's not one there for the mod you've chosen, then you never actually installed it. (In the Mod Browser, selecting and downloading a mod doesn't automatically install it.)
If it's a map script, it'll be in the Sid Meier's Civilization 5/Maps/ directory instead.
