I'm surprised this topic is so quiet. Or, maybe just nobody ever ran this. Anyway, I did it today, hoping that I could see all these kuhl things you were posting about in this thread. I'm sorry for being harsh, but...
This fork is so broken, I don't even know where to start. It's plagued by all the old Project Dollhouse bugs that were already fixed upstream. Protip - when your forking, use git to pull fixes from the master branch. Anyway, let's focus on the UX, because that's where we meet confusion and pain.
Welcome to city view, land of "what is even happening here, what am I supposed to do". After a while I figured that out. I guess these three buttons on the top right are what is going to put me into game? I guess I'd start with creating a Sim!
What we can see is bugs from the old PD/FreeSO releases. Sure. I think I crashed it once by accident while writing this post. BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST SLOWING ME DOWN, I'LL GO THERE, I'M AN EXPERT, TRUST MEH. And here is where things get interesting.

There is basically NO FEEDBACK to the player that their character was broken so you end up making 10 of them desperately clicking that button. Because that's the point when we find out - hey, we just made ten of those and we hit a limit. Yeah, thanks. Good to know. How do I even leave this screen now? Turns out it's cancel because "x" closes the game (yeah, I tried the "x" first).
What's next? Hey, this should be easy. I can create a new house!
wat. what is this screen. whaaaat. Ok, let's assume it's a placeholder and I'm going to love it despite how broken it is. CAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. Anyway... How do you even create a house? There is this super ugly dialog that crashes no matter what I do. Sorry, I don't like it now. And I think it's stupid.
So, if I can't create a house, maybe I'd open a blueprint.
Hey, it ALMOST works. There are no Sims in here but hey! (but, I just created like ten of identical characters, waaat) Of course switching to Live Mode is... crashing the game. Nice work @francot514.
There is also super confusing updater. So, I'm running 1.3, but it's actually 1.0 and there is 1.1 on the server? WAT. Am I downgrading? Am I updating? What is happening? Where is my coffee?
Useful labels I guess.

I used the one from "TSOVille1.3.rar" which you just posted. I could just re-record it again if you wish.

Yes please delete all those unnecesary images.
Yes, i have made some mistakes in latest builds, i will definitelly fix those and delete create house mode, so you will start by creating house in empty blueprint, but for be sure you dont make mistakes i will give you some message box telling that "Sim is created" in tso ville folder, also if you see the videos, you can find that you should select a sim before entering the house. Also please avoid using the updater, its for testing purposes.

You can run FreeSO normally, without any issues?? This error seems to be related with any game file path issue..

If you cant either run FreeSO is because you graphics card compatiblity issue.

I ran normally and it allowed me to create my sim, but when I click the Save button it would not continue. I kept clicking on it and then it tells me I've already created 10 sims but it won't let back to map view, creating House didn't work as I got the same screen as pisarz ...

Yes, that should be working, but there was no message to tell you characters are created at Documents/TsoVille. Also do not use create house, will be removed, it failed for his purpose, use empty lot instead.I ran normally and it allowed me to create my sim, but when I click the Save button it would not continue.

^ of course not.
Attempt #2.
Ok, you fixed a couple of things I told you about, but I'd prefer a more obvious way to go further from CAS so people won't end up closing their game ("x" button made sense in old UX flow, in current one it doesn't make any sense though).
It's still not obvious how would you open the game itself. I managed to get stuck in gray world with NOTHING and then throw OutOfMemory exception, which is interesting, cause I have 12 gigs of RAM ._.
