Technical Trouble with Earth 35 civs mod

[NotaParadox]

So, I come with a plea for assistance related to the earth 35 civs mod which I recently installed. I am pretty familiar with modding and had no trouble installing mods for civ IV bts in the past and it seemed to work fine at first when I placed it in my beyond the sword mod directory in the C file, however, when I start up a game now I get a blank technology adviser screen when the game starts. When I exit the screen the map comes up as normal, except there is one difference: no action bar, no minimap, none of that stuff so I all I can do is move my settler around, I cannot even found a city (I don't know if using hotkeys would fix this) but the game is completely unplayable like this anyhow.

Help would be greatly appreciated and thank you if you bothered to read through this.
