I'm not sure why nobody has yet replied to your question.

I have been away for a while and not sure if anything has been done to apply TDWs Patches to the steam version of the game, but first of all I'd recommend to switch away from a steam version. Last time i've been around you could not apply those patches to the steam version, which resulted in many unwanted glitches to be left in the game, just as an example i'll explain the biggest one:
the mast hight is not working properly in the original game. It is just plainly broken and it took, afaik, a few years to figure out why and how to fix it. TDWs patch fixes it through correcting the reference pointers in the code to show the mast hight properly, instead of a constant (which is how it was in original game and why its broken).

If you think its ok and still want to mod the game: it is no harder then modding a regular game. All you need to do is to locate the folder where the game is located. For steam, if i'm not mistaken, it will most likely be located in :\\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\ folder.
After that you can just follow the instructions within the WOS megamod and it should be exactly the same.
