I'm confused by what you did? When you said you went into the console, did you redo some variable through redoing some small section of code? I'm not fully following on what you done as I've been trying to follow your methods to see if I can get it working too...I looked at the code and it's been refactored into a "Patreon" and "Non-Patreon" version. Some content has been soft removed from the Patreon version and the one that has been uploaded currently is the Patreon version. There's a flag (patreon = True) in the code to signify which version it is, and a new directory (game/np) where "Non-patreon" images would be located. I have used the console and set that variable to false and copied some of the "offending" images from the CG directory of version 4.0.4 of the game and it all worked as it has in the past.
Also, do you need to delete your old 0.4.06 saves for 0.4.07 to work properly? As I know in older version of the game you can't use your old saves?
