What I did personally was run the now-defunct DAITools Suite Loader - Mod Manager, and I merged my preferred mod with the game directly: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/693?tab=description It appears to be working and now I don't have to use a mod manager at all, I can just launch the game executable. The tool hasn't been updated since 2015, but I don't really see why that would be a problem in this case. Give it a shot. e: just remember not to re-validate your files either on Steam or on Origins. e2: I think it worked because the animation-disabling mod is old as well, I'm not sure this works with newer mods.
