Sorry beefcake, but it was 1:30am were I am and I haven't slept for 22 hours.
Version of base game I was using is 0.8.5 fix and I'm using mod version 0.8.5 Mod A.
Now that I'm capable of coherent thought here's the traceback

I think there are a few things that could cause this that I've seen before.
One is you could look inside the 'scripts' folder inside of the 'SAZMOD' folder and search for all of the .rpyc files and delete them. This will make renpy recompile them when you start the game. If one was not updating properly, that might fix it.
Another is the file location of the the folder 'SAZMOD' is incorrect. You want to make sure the files structure is like this.
The Tryant > game > SAZMOD
So that the 'SAZMOD' folder is inside the 'game' folder and not any deeper.
If that is in the right spot then you want to make sure that when you installed the Hot Fix you didn't just combine the files from the Hot Fix into the SAZMOD, but instead that you deleted the old 'scripts' folder and replaced it with the new one in the Hot Fix file. Issues can occur if you just try to combine the two. A re-install might be required.
Last, a fresh reinstall into a different base folder name sometimes helps.
Currently your installation is installed under the base folder - F:\TheTyrant-0.8.5 (1).fix-pc\
If you try this step I'd recommend changing that base name to something simple with no special characters or spaces. Something like this maybe - F:\TheTyrant085fix\
Some systems seem to like something like that better if they are experiencing issues from the start.
Those are some things you could try. Hopefully one of them will help with your issue.
