The problem is that errors aren't governed the way the other hits are. They are governed by the fielding percentages (there is, to my knowledge, no batter "reached base on error" rating), so including it as a League Total setting may not be the best way.

Personally rather than having error rates as a variable, I think there should be an option on the Fictional League creation page, and the League Setup page to "Create League with Deadball Era players". Which would handle this a bit better, creating high endurance, low power, poor fielding players. Then the switch on the League Setup screen could be used to allow the league to progress from Deadball Era, towards a blend, and final to Modern players.

In either case I'd suspect that this would be an OOTP5 type enhancement not a "patchable" one... although I don't have the code, so who knows.
