No spider mod?

[Tacticus Winter]

Hello, im an arachnaphobic, but as you know DA:O has huge scary spiders, can someone link me to a proven working no-spider mod? Preferably through Nexus. Don't post any comments about just to face it, I have serious arachnaphobia, if I see these comments I report them to a moderator. Thank you.

I have found this[social.bioware.com] and this[social.bioware.com] .

Which one were you using when you crashed ?

You can try the other one now.

Edit: Updated the links

Edit: They are for DA2, sorry.

Thanks, I think I have seen both of those, and yea, i thought they were for Origins as well. I was using this one http://social.bioware.com/project/1013/#comments I placed the file into the override folder as the instructions say to do.

Curious: Why did you buy a game that has spiders if you are terrified of them?

I'm scared of dragons too but dammit I really want Dragon Age!

But more seriously, sorry, I don't know of any mods. I don't see it as totally unreasonable (spiders are minor enemies and shapeshifting skills, nothing more) to want one, but I can't help you there.

Ultimately you really do have to face your fears though (*gets reported*). I say this as someone with anxiety and my boyfriend who has experienced mild to severe OCD.

Play Mirror's Edge ... :)

and people, please stop bashing the OP. If you don't know a mod and cannot help, do not write just to raise your opinion. OP already told that s/he doesn't need any 'get over it' posts.

Phobias are dangerous psychological problems. DId you know that under certain circumstances phobias can lead to death ? That might be a rare case but phobias are no where near normal scares.

I know the pain, spiders in DAO are not that bad... Skyrim was ahhh... i must use mod ;/ Good think here is you can at least zoom out when you fighing those horrors so i dont care ;d DA2 have some gigantic spiders so i never played it, crappy game anyway.

I know how you feel, I love all creatures apart from spiders. I have a serious fear of them. I've avoided many places in many MMO's I've played just so I don't have to see them :( but this thread saved me £5 I shall not be buying it cause I don't want to have nightmares about giant spiders that I saw in a game D: ahhh... :(

I'm afraid reporting for that silly reason wont do anything :\

Mainly because DA:O isnt exactly full of them like Skyrim, but I was able to mod them out easily. DA:O on the other hand, ive only found one mod, but im having issues with the game atm.

TBH the spiders in the Mage Circle stockcaves do freak me out. More out of surprise, but still.

breathing air and drinking water can lead to death too. Check your facts before talking only cause when fright can lead to death is psychgenic shock , and that can be caused by one hell of a scare . And if you are young and health chances of that are one in billion . Best thing about phobias is overcoming them . I was terrified of blood before i got trained as phlebotomist . I also worked in offshore construction and have been lifted with crane high off the ground . So you know , toughen up . Video game is not going to hurt you .

Good for you that you have overcome your fears and it's nice that you became a phlebotomist but I ask you to be more understanding before attacking.

Yes, you may have overcome your own fear but you must understand that each person is different and each person goes through different phases until they overcome their fears. Most phobias are caused by relating the object or the act with previous experiences. You cannot know what each person has gone through and at which stage their phobia is.

Treating phobias must only be done by professionals because phobias can have very powerful and intense effects on the individual both biologicaly and psychologically, short and long term.

Phobias can cause deaths; it is true. You should understand that even though some phobias might look absurd for you such as fearing spiders, harmless little animals for you, the person with that phobia may also be aware of this but since phobias are a reminder of past experiences, the feeling of fear is usually very real and at that moment it might be difficult to think logically. A good example for that can be this person[www.dailymail.co.uk] who was 76 years old when he commited suicide because he thought a spot on his skin was cancer and he didn't go to his appointment with his doctor because he had a phobia of doctors.

You might think that this is an extreme example but don't forget that phobias are extreme reactions shown by our bodies against fears; real or imaginary.

If you read this article[www.psychologytoday.com] , you can see that fear can kill you. Most phobias are capable of triggering panic attacks which might cause cardiac arrests and hyperventilation which may be lethal. These are only the biological effects phobias can have on the individual but there are also psychological effects which are anxiety and in some cases even PTSD.

Now I understand that you might have gone through a similar experience but please understand that your experiences may vary greatly with other people experiences who also had the same fears as you and people who suffer from different phobias can have very different experiences than yours.

it is truly beautiful when ignorant people talk about subjects they dont understand .
Yeah people are different , we have different fears . You can fill a book with my phobias , hell im even scared of driving , dirt , dog poop, etc. What makes you think i dont know what absolute terror feels like ? Ive been shot at , im terrified of needless and pain but donated blood multiple times . Again if you dont confront your feers you cannot live a normal life .
Worst thing that hyperventilation can do to you is carpal spasms , ERs got plenty of those idiots . If you are young , healthy and you go to ER crying about hyperventilation triage nurse will put you on six hour wait before being admitted .

Also try reading your own sources : lady in elevator died for heart attack because her coronary artier were clogged . If you have cloged coronary arteries any form of exitiment which increases your activity can triger AMI . Walking up stairs can kill you . This is a very popular fallacy were people try use articles that barely relate to their argument for support.

The woo-doo example is interesting but very rare cause where you believe you are going to die to the point when you put yourself into psychogenic shock . Basic fear of pixilated spiders is not going do that to you .

Yes I'm sure you are going to have expert sitting with you every time you are scared of things . Its natural human response of fear poisonous things , but losing your mind is unnatural .

PTSD caused by extreme psychological trauma involving EXTEREMLY traumatic experience such as extreme violence and death . People who've been in deadly car crashed ,vets , police and emergency workers can develop that due to extreme violence and death they can witness. Like little girl being squished by a trash container ,yeah that will give you PTSD . being scared of arachnid is not really an excuse to develop PTSD .

"If you are young , healthy and you go to ER crying about hyperventilation "

lol that more or less happened to me. My first really significant panic attack happened in the middle of the night and I was worried that I was dying or something.

Waited for several hours, and got picked up to go home in the morning. Examinations showed nothing.

If anything, they were probably worried about me looking like a mess. When I'm stressed and/or tired and/or having had a bad run of a few days (due to bad sleep or food or lethargy), instead of looking good, I look like I'm high and significant shadows appear under my eyes. I must have looked insane when I was admitted into the hospital, but it really was just myself letting my anxiety get the best of me. I've tackled it better since.
