When manually loading the game you will get the players screen before the data mismatch error screen. If it were the other way around the game host could nto ever load the game and process with a different Version and games would never be upgradeable under any circumstances.

Now, to your problem. You do have the .gam file in the savegame under the mod folder, correct? When you click on it on the right hand side of the modpicker you should see a list of gam files, and near the bottom is your P&N game and it will look something like this [P&Nmod3]Mygame.gam. And not [None]Mygame.gam. the mod name in the brackets is how the modpicker decides what mod to use when autolaunching directly into your turn.
