No. But according to the file description and included readme, that mod is for crashing during cutscenes, which it's not. Also, it's meant to fix issues caused by a mod which makes your character lose their class or gender. Since I've never installed any mods, neither of those issues were present. But I still tried it, just in case.
I found a thread which included a series of save files for the game (
http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=157988), but according to the description, they all seem to be saves from fairly early in the game. I assume this is because they were intended to be used for modding purposes.
If anyone on this forum has a save from around the point in the where I'm stuck, I'd love to be able to use it to help diagnose my problem.
