I have not yet included the Character creation screen. However I can load and play my mod without problems.
If you are missing a story folder try this:
1.) Open Story Editor
2.) file -> generate definitions + build
It should fix some problems.
Also look for your module settings so that the correct levels areasigned as starting levels + the level is in the level folder of your mod (which actually is not an issue, because in order to select is must be in the right folder).
