    1/1/2022 update:
    I strongly advice to use the description together with the video. Very few things have changed since I made this tutorial, but the notes left there are crucial for a smooth experience (e.g. some redundant fixes, a new method for the awakening patch).

      Only issue is that when trying to install the tucked hair mod, I just get a crossed out circle symbol in the field you drop files into in the override tab. As far as I can see (except for the file structure/manager out of view) I've done everything exactly as you have on screen, yet it won't accept it. (unzipped or not, nor in.7z filetypel)
      Edit: Same thing is happening with the more hairstyle mod, frustratingly (and this is with following your exact instructions from the video, at least visually)
      Edit 2: I think I solved it, seems like I can't use overrides with capitals or spaces anymore, even though I already have overrides with them installed, confusingly. At least I managed to get those two mods installed now.

    I've never played Dragon Age, even though I'm a fan of Oblivion and other RPG's. So not long ago I decided to make it happen and decided to mod it in order to avoid some bugs, memory issues and just to enhance the graphics, as well as add things to make my gameplay more enjoyable (which I learned from your detailed explanation).
    So not to make any long speeches, I just want to thank you and say that I am really grateful for your awesome guide. Furthermore, showing how to use the modding tools for Dragon Age and making me apply these techniques in order to add some other mods made it like a walk in the park. I usually don't like watching long videos, because they tend to be boring/not fully informative, but this guide beats everything. Maybe next time I'm going to watch on of your other guides and mod a game that I haven't yet played. Hands down, you made my day, Mr. Frosty.

    @lucasvazquez8258 5 років тому +6

    Thanks for the guide, loved it.
    About the "DLC to Awakening Patch" in GOG versions:
    The GOG version of Dragon Age, by default, does not come with registry keys, this is to prevent issues with the EA Origin™ Client, which scans for that particular key and might trigger an auto-update, which can possibly break the GOG version of the game. This prevents the DLC to Awakening Patch to work for the lack of registry keys, so you need to add the registry key first. I have a batch file to fix this, otherwise you'll have to add the key manually, btw this registry key is needed to install the DAO-Toolset.
    Instructions to add the key manually:
    Open regedit
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node
    right-click on that 'WOW6432Node' key and choose 'New Key'
    new key = BioWare
    right-click on that new 'BioWare' key and choose 'New Key'.
    Add 'Dragon age'
    right-click on that new 'Dragon Age' key and choose New Value
    Add ' Path ' in top box
    Add your exact game path folder name in Bottom box
    ie:
    C:\GOG Games\Dragon Age Origins
    Job done.

    This tutorial was a lifesaver. Thank you for making such a great tutorial.
    Now I am off to try it out. Hope everything works fine and my playthrough ends smooth.
    edit:
    That aside tho I hope DA4 has a workshop tab on Steam once it's out or in the future after release. If it wasn't for this tutorial I probably would've felt like I was back in my CompSci classes. Which isn't a bad thing but it certainly is tedious trying to find old ass documentation and all that jazz from websites/forums that are sometimes purged. Thankfully more modern Bioware games have easier modding (my experience with Inquisition has been nice) but still. Like I said, a workshop tab would be appreciated imo.

    If I want to add let's say the HighRez Demon Retextures mod, should I then add/overide them to the JB3 folder with modmanager or should I just install it in the overide folder ?

    • @Just_Call_Me_Frosty
      @Just_Call_Me_Frosty  6 років тому +4

      I usually like to bundle retextures together before installing.
      If Jb3 includes textures for said demon, it would be best to overwrite existing files by manually placing them in the jb3 folder.
      You can also manually compare file names and delete the one you don't want after installing (like shown with the shale retexture in video).
      There's no wrong way of installing, as long as you don't keep two files that both try to change the same thing in a different way.

    Great modlist! I just finished, and added a few of my own. Two mods to improve the Mabari so it feels like an actual party member, 4 armor sets by one mod author "cgramnaes", and the Grey Warden Runic Armor (Arcane Warrior version). So far, so good.

    I have ultimate edition in the Origin Store (EA store) version, with this tutorial, can i mod in this version too? or modding the game is only for GOG or Steam version?

    • @Just_Call_Me_Frosty
      @Just_Call_Me_Frosty  3 роки тому +2

      All versions can benefit from this. The process remains the same for the most part. The one thing that's different in the origin version is that you don't have to replace the dao.exe as described in the tutorial.

    • @Just_Call_Me_Frosty
      @Just_Call_Me_Frosty  6 років тому +6

      Running the memory patch should be sufficient. You don't need a alternate dao.exe as with steam.
      It's the only version I havn't been able to try myself, but people here in the comments section and google should be able to confirm that worked.

    So ive followed the steps through the video and i seem to be having some trouble, and would love if you could possibly help. Great content tho man youre the best. But basically im having trouble overriding the mods. When i unzip a mod and try to drag it into the mod manager, i always get a notification saying the file isnt an override file. So i try to create an override packet, and it tells me an unhandled exception has occured in the application, and that it could not find a path for the file. Is there any chance you know what is causing this? Id really appreciate the help

    • @Just_Call_Me_Frosty
      @Just_Call_Me_Frosty  3 роки тому +2

      Thanks for the kind words.
      I'm not sure if this fixes your problem, but in the top right of dao mod manager you can see options. Click it and you will see a number of paths. Check if those paths are set up correctly.
      I've only had 2 other comments describing sort of the same thing. It's set up correctly on default for nearly everyone, but I guess there will always be exceptions.

    I remember way back in the day I was an avid Sims 2 player and obsessively downloaded custom content and made stories out of the characters I made. While perusing around UA-cam I saw someone playing DAO with a hairstyle that I had downloaded for Sims 2. So obviously I got into Dragon Age and fast forward all this time, I am only NOW downloading these hairs for my DAO protagonist. I don't make the rules, I barely even follow the rules, but this tutorial was so helpful.
