Can I combine a modded save and the regular save for a game? /u/PotatoSun54 Steam on Reddit

So I decided to run with some performance and graphic mods for the Silent Hill 2 remake, and I did this all months ago – it turns out how I began my save was through the file directory and not through steam, so Steam doesn’t recognise the game as running and I can’t get achievements and hours played on it. I am now multiple hours into the game and would like to merge the two. I only have a performance mod, a graphics mod and a freecam mod (as I wanted to take photos). Anyone know a solution for this? Thank you. I am specifically running the game through the steamapps/common/SILENT HILL 2 and the application is called SHProto.
