Thank you so much! That info helped greatly and I got it done :D!

I can't seem to figure out how to get a mesh or texture from a daimod. I can find the files I need to export easily enough but when I try to export them the option is greyed out. As that is the only way I know of to get something from a daimod I have no idea where to go from here.

Hi there. I'm trying to convert some mods I use to Frosty. Mostly texture mods since Frosty Mod Manager seems to have trouble auto converting those. The thing is, I'm a total newbie at any form of modding. I've read what tutorials I can find and I'm still scratching my head. If someone is willing to convert these mods for me or teach me how to do so I would be very grateful. Note: I will NOT be posting these mods anywhere for download/claiming as mine and, from what I can find, the authors have left the modding scene. If I'm wrong I will gladly contact the author of the mod for permissions/see if they are willing to convert it. But a lot of the modders have not been active for years on the Nexus and their tumblrs (if I can find one) are gone/not active. Thank you for your time and consideration, Dziva

Thanks for the reply. I had given up on people answering me, even on the daimodder forums. It's good to know that the next version will reload changes and that I wasn't doing anything wrong!

I'm looking for someone who is willing to help a newbie make a mod. I am over my head and I could really use someone to assist me. If anyone is willing to help me out please let me know. I know the basics of how to use the mod maker (doesn't seem to save the changes?) and how to hex edit.

Yeah the Black Emporium will crash the game or, at the very least, the mirror will not work if you have anything on that changes the appearance of your inquisitor. Every PJ mod I have tried has worked but you have to make sure you only have one on at a time and that you have the right file for your race. Some will only be for certain races since the bodies are so different. Skin and hair mods will have the same issue as each other - what they do is overwrite a mesh already in the game instead of adding a new hairstyle as seen in the previous Dragon Age games when you modded them. So if one hair overwrites mesh A and another hair overwrites mesh A you will have a problem. Sometimes you will only get one hair and sometimes nothing will work. the link I put in my previous post has a Hair compendium which lists all of the hair mods underneath the hair they will replace. If you have more than one hair on that slot it could be your issue. Also I have found that sometimes they don't work unless you start a new game - people around you will have the new hair but you won't. I've only seen this once or twice but it is something to think about. The hair might be working but just not on your inquisitor. With script mods it really does depend if the patch broke the mod or not. I know that a lot of them are being repaired or new versions are coming out. The tumblr link posts up a lot of the repaired or new versions of them when they come out, such as the new inventory mod. The old one doesn't work anymore as of patch 9 so someone made it so that it does. Certain mods have conditions as well. Using the inventory mod again you have to NOT have the inventory perks in your game to get it to work. If you do have them then your inventory size will not be adjusted. When you are installing the mods are you clicking the box that says something like 'force rescan of patch'? I know that you need to make sure that is checked off or the modding will not work. Some script mods also have to be configured for them to do anything so make sure you are doing that. Without knowing the mods in question specifically that is all I can tell you, unless you would like to know the mods I have? They all work in my game just fine and I switch between them all the time.

I don't think there is some sort of master list of working mods out there, if there is I have not come across it. Mostly what you have to do is check the comments on the mod if there are any to see if the mod has reports of it being broken. Some mods that work with Patch 9 don't work with the new Descent DLC and sometimes people have errors with mods that are known to be working. Perhaps some of your mods are in conflict with each other. You could try submitting questions about the mods in question here: http://daimodder.tumblr.com/ and seeing if it is a known issue or not. I have also seen them help people solve problems. Out of curiosity, what mods are you running? As someone who runs a lot of mods perhaps I could try and help.

I'm not a modder myself (tried and seriously could not understand it) but I know that the modding tool has a forum with all sorts of tutorials in it. Try looking here http://daitools.freeforums.org/tutorials-and-q-a-f13.html for the information that you are looking for. As far as I know mods generally require a hex editor or image editors depending on what you are modding. You might even need something like Blender for more complex mods but since you are aiming for a re-texture maybe not? Don't take my word for stuff though and see if the tutorials and Q&As there have what you need.

Would it be possible to have a bi Sera mod? Or at least someone who can set me on the right path to making one myself?

I'm hoping that someone would take the kiss on the balcony scene or the one in haven (or 50/50 chance of either?), if possible, and make it so that we can steal Solas away for a kiss. I would love to have more of a romance with him and it doesn't seem fair that we can't even steal him for a kiss since it is hinted at that they are involved and lovers. I'm not asking for something from scratch or anything, just putting in an option to see that part of the scene again. Even if I have to watch the whole dang thing again I can skip the dialogue. It would be nice too if there was a version for after he dumps us so that those who want to pretend we aren't dumped until he runs off at the end can pretend that (me included). That might be simpler than trying to cut it off maybe? I dunno since I'm not a modder but in my head it sounds doable.

In response to post #20540319. #20821584, #20821839, #20821884 are all replies on the same post. I have this exact same issue. I tried to use the diagnoser as well but it couldn't do anything either and I just got errors. I've tried different browser, different times and the different methods (nmm or manual) with different mods and nothing.
