Nexus Mod Manager

[The Eye]

OK, I have Nexus, I use ir with skyrim no problem, so thought I knew what I was doing while using it. However when I try to use it for This game I have problems..

1) when I try to dowload a mod I get a message stating that that I have to run the game scan to find DA, however when I open Nexus the one that opens is DA... confused

2) I have managed to add a couple mod's before I had the proble listed above, but when I launch the game the mods are not added

Mod currently added to Nexus and active:
- DAO-Modmanager - DAO-Modmanager_1_9d
- Natural Bodies all in one - Natural bodies all in one 3_0

Please tell me anything that will stop me from pulling out what little hair I have left

Don't use Nexus Mod Manager to instal mods for DA:O. Instal them manually or use daoupdater.exe for .dazips. Also trust me when I say this, body mods are not worth it for DA:O, they cause severe problems with your game and have very nasty seams.

ok, thank you.....

then please tell me how to install mods manually, or possible direct me to instructions someone else has already posted somewhere. have only used nexus to mod before

Most mods will just ask you to put their files in the the /Bioware/Dragon Age/packages/core/override situated in My documents. Each mod has it's own instructions, like it or not you have to read them in order for everything to work as intended.

With that being said I would advice against using too many mods or mods that change important stuff like game lightning, textures stuff like that because this game has already a lot of problems with memory leaks on it's own, if you add mods things can get very buggy and you'll just play Crash To Desktop: Origins.

thankyou very much. I thought I may have to put this file here, this one here and this one here just to get one mod to work. but from how you explain it it seems stupid proof :)

he is correct on one point. Nexus Mod manager is not good for dragon age origins, better to use that for skyrim.

However if you install the mod CORRECTLY like a body mod you have nothing to worry about and wont have seams and will not effect your game play at all.

So many people who do not install mods correctly do not correct it and just blame the mod author or the game. Read the instructions , make sure to download what is needed and use what is needed , dont take any short cuts and mods will work.

You could also use the DAO Mod Manager that's available.
