When you're loading the original single player game load it as multiplayer game instead and you'll get any later versions of the same character available for play. Make sure that you're not posting it to the internet (I think it's under advanced settings when you load the game) or you might get company!

Larry's right you'll get problems with CEP items unless you change the module properties and the OC doesn't allow that. The items often work, they're just invisible or black boxes.
