First off, for any OS other than Windows I am absolutely not qualified to offer support on how to run the games, judging by the folder structure naming, you're on macOS. I just saw that all the download links in OP worked and I am fairly certain that for this version at least, the mod was basically a "unzip and play"-kind of deal. The Expanded Crew is generally very adamant about what you need to run a specific version of a game, and since it was this "unzip and play" for windows, it would be kind of absurd to have it another way for a different OS.<snip>
To me it sounds like there's two possibilities after your applying of the patch: you either merged the folders wrong, or they have been wrongly packed in the first place, can neither confirm nor deny at this point, sorry about that.
Yes, the mod technically allows you access to the base games savefiles.EDIT: Well, the game has booted up, so that's a good sign. But it seems to allow me access to my base game saves from here? Does that mean there's been possible corruption, or will I be fine as long as I don't open those saves in this version?
BUT, if those saves are made from any other version than what the mod version is based on (in this case 0.984h), it will most likely cause a ton of errors, if not just outright crash the game. Your best bet is to start over, not like this is a massively long game in the first place.
