Crimea River: I would say that the other companion mod is definitely conflicting with this one. Maybe any other mod you have installed... you can check the compatibility list.
The patch does not affect the mod at all, if you installed it prior to installing the mod.
Anyways, I'd advise you to reinstall the mod again (and uninstall other conflicting mods) and try loading the game before you recruit him at Lothering. That typically solves it.
Hope it works! :-)
