Version 0.17.3, 3 versions later then promised... No fix. Or I'm doing something wrong. Getting tired of this. Maybe I shouldn't post right now, but it really bothers me. Everything downloads perfectly, then when I start installing and Enabling, everything seems fine, although Vortex keeps giving the notice that there are new files outside the mods, (although I updated them a minute before) or that the files are shared by different mods, making my extra hairstyles mod redundant because I installed a hide helmet hack and a Dalish Mage Origin. (Don't see the sense in that. They're Additional files right? So shared makes no sense.) On my first round, I installed the whole shebang with apparently no problems, and the DLC was recognised when I started the game, but when I started a new game, the quickest way to check if some mods were working, there was no Dalish Mage option, and no extra hairstyles. Deinstalled and removed all mods, for a fresh download, and when I didn't want to save the suggested 'merges' but 'restore' them, I got the old error "Vortex tried to access "C:/Users/[my username]/Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/settings/AddIns.xml" but it doesn't exist."... And it still does. To be continued, and hopefully, fixed.

@HadToRegister. I just checked your tip, but my Vortex is already set to 'Deploy when installed', and I still get the error, so I guess that kinda rules it out. But thanks for the suggestion.

I would like to see how this pans out, because I'm having the exact same problem as Viscaraia. "Vortex tried to access "C:/Users/[my username]/Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/settings/AddIns.xml" but it doesn't exist." Strange thing is, when I use my explorer to search for it, the directory actually DOES exist! I'm only a part-time geek, so after two days of trying to get several mods to work, I just gave up. Deinstalled all mods except for the two that did seem to work and played Vanilla. Somehow, installing mods adds the extra problem that non expert me calls 'switching off the DLC'. I bought the Ultimate Pack on Steam, but after installing mods, it says I have to buy the DLC's again, and it warns me against loading my saves, for they rely on DLC's that apprently, are no longer there. So if someone can come to our rescue, that would be much appreciated.
