The standard mod is a single package with manifest.sii file inside, description and icon files and the mod data files. The Workshop mod can and should consist of many packages - this option allows you to provide multiple versions of your mod for users on different game versions using one Workshop mod. In the versions.sii file you specify which package should be used when using the specified game update. But remember - this layout is only correct for Workshop mods. Standard mods are still using the one package approach.
