For anyone looking into this in 2021 and beyond, there have been a lot of updates and changes to this process. The core process remains the same however. plop improved atmosphere mod into your dragon age override folder and it will work. however there is a common bug with DAO that makes it so your DLC wont appear in the menu list if you bought ultimate edition on steam. IF YOUR DLC DOES NOT APPEAR IN MENU AND YOU HAVE ULTIMATE EDITION FROM STEAM, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Dragon Age Ultimate Edition edist (or wherever you install your Steam games) Run both of the following .exe files: DAUServiceSetup_Steam.exe DAOU_UpdateAddinsXML_Steam.exe The second one in particular adds the DLC to the games AddIns.xml file so the game knows they are there. They should then show up in game. This makes the dlc show up on the list and enable.
I followed your instructions and installed it exactly like you did but Anora's and Jowan's head is still missing. As well as a fair few people are naked including Merrill on the dalish origin. I thought this would have solved those issues, but I guess not?
this mod turned my game to english in almost all cutscenes and menus and i cant revert back because it bugs my save and people appear naked -.-. I couldnt find a way to play it in spanish :(
Hey sir! A boon please my autsitic son is a massive fan of Dragon Age and I just purchased it with the intent to give him the same show as he gets watching everyones videos. I've tried my hand and failed at downloading his favorite mod: Grey Wardens of Fereldan and I was wondering if you could please put up a video showing me how it would make his day and mine! Yours in kindness C Campbell
Great vid, but just wanna confirm something. Do mods that have to be put into the core/override folder never show up in the Downloadable Content, Installed Content section in the Dragon Age game? Or in the list of installed 3rd party mods in the Dragon Age Modder program? Basically, is playing the game the only way to see if it has worked?
8 minutes to say 'drag and drop it into your override folder'? Come on man! I've heard conflicting reports about this mod - still don't know if it's worth the risk.
Your tutorials are so useful, Thanks so much for posting all of these.
initialZEN Thanks for commenting. Also for watching. Also for being awesome.

Thanks, loved how easy this made installing the IA mod.
Great vid, very informative and easy to follow. Was wondering if you could make a video showing how to make other mods compatible with IA ?

This Mod is like a Virus for every Save Game you don‘t can uninsall it without Buggs
The mod is buggy af. The things this add is not worth the hassle.
