Thx for this homie, wanted to play all the games before I try the new one coming out. All the other guides had me mad confused... took me awhile to come across this video, YT needs to recommend this video more than the others, they slackin frfr

[phantomgt.]

Thanks for this,
Literally just bought the game on Steam Summer Sale 2024, so excited to try it out!

[Rookmai]

Fantastic! Just when I was thinking about jumping into Thedas again, thank you for this.

[Longshadow]

NIIIICE a game that really shines with some well-placed mods tbh

[masamune]

Good video man, I needed a recent video about DAO modding

[kezia_exe]

not only is this the most helpful & easiest to follow guide ive found, its also just put together really nicely. Dunno if that makes sense :3

[nefilibata]

thank you sooo much, I'm in the middle of the story and I felt that it was time to add some mods.

[shadowthehedgehog]

Thank you so much! I bought the three games on EA last night since they are on sale.
Can you please make a mod list for the other two? I bought the games not knowing anything about the crashes problems and all that I have never modded a game before.

I believe Lock Bash requires some settings to be added to the DragonAge.ini file, as explained in the mod's description, unless the mod just uses default settings otherwise?

[putriaprilia]

haii can i ask you about the override folder??? how can you get those? since i didnt haave it :( so it's very confusing to start modding on DA:O, thanks in advance!

[SimGlitchMedia]

Do we need to use the DAO Mod Manager or is Vortex acceptable?

[mithras]

i honewtly dont understand how no one fixed the horrendous, extra-small HUD. WHAT IS THAT

[IceQueen]

Thank you for this video! It was really helpful and I loved the mods you used!! 😁

Hope I am not bothering you, I was also returning to this game after the announcement of the new Dragon Age game. One of the mods I liked to use before was Pineappletree's Vibrant Colors. I know you didn't show case that mod in the video, I seem to run into an issue where none of the skin tones work and the hair colors are all white and eye colors are all black (I have my settings on highest). Do you perhaps know what the issue is? Or if anyone in the comments may know I would love the assistance.

Thank you so very much😉

This is my firat time modding, i followed your steps but the game wouldnt open, and when i open the mod manager now i have a few errors saying "could not find a part of path 'C:\DAO Mods\dazip' "
and "could not...path 'C:\DAO Mods\mods\override' " and theyd repeat twice, i have no idea what is happening.

[vstormvbringer]

which is the most realistic looking hair mod?

[ewkonosuba]

How do you start playing the game when you're done installing the mods and stuff??

[fw_bats]

everytime i try to add a new mod i just installed following instructions, and then attempt to drag to the modmanager a pop up comes up saying "DAzip is already installed."

Why was my comment deleted? The game's executable on Steam is encrypted so the 4GB patch doesn't work. It says the patch was applied successfully but you get an error when launching the game. I provided a fix for this. Please don't delete useful information before researching it.
