Ok so first off thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I am currently using the newest version of NMM (0.46.0) Most of the mods I am using are appearance mods, a few weapons mods, nothing really game changing. But don't worry, I was impatient and started a playthrough already. I'm not that far in tough, just added Morrigan to my squad. And I plan on finishing the game before I start another playthrough. So I guess I'll study the Using Dragon Age Mods for Dummies page before I try to add the mods I have dl'ed. And I will definitely check out the Good Mods page. So again thanks for the help, and for the detailed instructions.

Ok guys, I am in need of some help. I love Skyrim and Mass Effect so Dragon Age seemed like the next logical step. So please excuse a dumb question (I'm still a little new to installing mods) I currently have Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition - installed through steam - and am trying to use the relatively new Dragon Age Nexus. I have selected a few mods I wish to use, no more than 10 I think. So I have installed them all with the mod manager just as you would with Skyrim. Yet when I try to launch the game through the mod manager I keep getting an error stating that the Dragon Age launcher can't be found. So I tried to just play the game through steam thinking the mods I had installed would work as they do with Skyrim but with no luck. So does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Or why the mod manager stats it can't find the DA Launcher? Thanks for any help.

Ha I was afraid I was going to have to do that. Thanks man.

No its not just the sword. So far I have tried the thieves guild armor, two swords (dwarven and orcish), and a pair of boots with a stamina enchantment. As far as I can tell, it is any enchanted item. I mean I can keep trying with other things; other armor and weapons, bows, etc. I'm wondering if something is wrong with enchanted items in the game that they don't recognize I have the perk or if the perk itself is broken. I'm at a complete loss lol.

First off, i'm sorry if this has already been posted. I dont mean to re-post but i'm kinda desperate. :( Does anyone know why I can't improve enchanted items at all? I have my smithing up to like 84 or something and I have the Arcane Blacksmith perk unlocked. But when I attempt to improve an enchanted item the game tells me I do not have the required perk to improve the item. So as an example, I have the "Dwarven Sword of Torpor" and I have a dwarven metal ingot. I also have the perk to improve dwarven armor as well as the arcane blacksmith perk. I go to a grindstone to improve the sword but I am given the message that I am unable to improve the weapon because I lack the required perk to do so. I would also like to say I am using mods on my game but none that effect smithing at all. (Unless one of the unofficial patches do) So has this happened to anyone else before? Should I forget about enchanted items i find and just work on the enchanting skill tree and add enchantments myself? Though i would be kinda bumbed to not beable to improve thieves guild, DB, or nightingale armor... If anyone could offer any help I would really appreciate it. I have tried my luck searching google and asking in the chat, but with no luck. Please help...
