    Your modding tutorials are the best I have come across. I've always struggled with modding, (Still struggling with DA2) but these videos make modding so much easier.

    Thanks. Easiest when someone points out the folders.
    One suggestion for others. Create a holding folder in your game folder for all your mod downloads, ex: _MODS/ I place a readme on how to install mods, like a link to this video. Under that I put the extracted mods I have downloaded, then copy the files where they need to go. This way you have all your mods including ones you like but aren't currently using. Also, if you have conflicts you can see which files each mod is altering if it isn't in an erf file.

    "Update your chargen morph file, I have a video coming up that will explain how to manually edit that file/use an exe" This would be very helpful right about now, trying to download your recommended DA2 CC mods, seemingly followed all instructions and then used the chargen.exe but they don't show up in CC and i'm at a loss. Can't get lockbash to work either and I made sure to put it in Addins but the toggle ability does not show up.

      You can for specific mods, others need a different kind of install method but location wise you can do it just like this! I do have a separate vid that goes over how to install mods for DAO that might be helpful!

    I've done everything in this tutorial's instructions, but none of the hair or facial preset mods are appearing in the game, and it's really getting annoying. I tried using the Chargen compiler, but that didn't work either. I made an override folder in my install directory and docs folder and put all of my mods in both of them. I don't know what I'm doing wrong because I even followed the instructions that are in the mods. Please let me know if I'm doing something incorrectly, or if you know of someone else who is experiencing the same issue and can offer a solution.

    • @FoodThenGames
      @FoodThenGames  ปีที่แล้ว

      Did the mods that you picked come with a xml file? Some require a manual chargen morph compiler -- I'd suggest checking your chargen morph file in your documents folder ( should be in the override folder within your documents folder) that the mods are listed. If you don't have a chargen morph after using the compiler than that means that nothing was compiled as that's where it usually installs the new xml file.
      Also, I would make sure the mods are only installed in either the directory OR the documents folder and not both as that can cause issues!

    • @renalubin
      @renalubin ปีที่แล้ว

      @Food Then Games Some mods had an xml file, while others didn't. I'm not sure if it matters if they didn't. I was careful to only download mods that have an xml file because I was worried of messing up if I tried to manually edit them.
      I had the game reinstalled since I believed there was a problem with the game itself. If there are any changes, I'll update. Thank you!
      Edit: Reinstalling also did not work. I don't believe I'm doing anything incorrectly because I carefully followed every tutorial (even though they were all the same), but it still won't function. Since none of these mods are even remotely similar, I'm confident it's not a conflicting mod. I searched everywhere, but it appears that I'm the only one experiencing this issue. I suppose it was simply not meant to be, but whatever.
      Update: I got it to work, finally! I just used that massive charger morph xml file from nexus and replaced it with the one already in there. I download the required mods and it's working perfectly!

    Do you think it's better to mod DAO and DA2 without the help of anything? I use Vortex but I'm unsure if I should stop and just do it manually instead.

      Honestly it comes down to personal preference -- I prefer the manual installation personally -- I can keep better track of everything plus I don't need to worry about deploying, updating, etc with Vortex ... I do that enough with Skyrim and FO4 😂😂

    I have a question about the console commands. For DAO you had to edit the text file (my game is on steam) and download the mod to make the console visible. Is it the same for DA2? Does the same work for both DAO and DA2?
