Frosty Issue - No Mods in DAI

[leoncharme]

I played DAI like a year ago with DAI mod manager on old devide. Since that time moved to another place, got new laptop and decided to replay DAI recently. Upon launching the game detected my oold savings, i tested on, all is good but appratenly there were not mods yet.

 

So, I've decided to go with Frosty this time.

 

1. Installed bunch of Frosty + dai. mods, launched through Frosty, chose old saving (it was in Skyhold thus easy to test mods I've installed) - no mods appeared. Ok. Tried to start new game. Still, no mods.

 

2. Removed dai. mods. Tried only frosty mods + launch via frosty again. The same, old save, new game save - nothing. Removed all old saves.

Deleted and installed Frosty. Added only 3 frosty mods to test in new game. - No mods.

 

3. Delected both DAI and Frosty. Installed both again. Used only 3 mods again (1 - Pale Cassandra, 4 files; 2 - Leliana Overhall, 1 file; 3 - Autumn in Thedas, 1 file). Launched through Frosty, started new game - nothing. Default Cassy, default Leli.

 

Additionally:

- Removed ModData folder several times and tried to launch via Frosty multiple times with no luck.

- Tried to change patch versions in MFT files (both in "Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch" initial patch folder AND in ModData folder). By default they both are 12. Tried initial patch MFT file ver. 12 and moddate patch MFT file 13. Game launched with no isuses, new game started, still no mods.

- Did vice versa initial patch MFT file ver. 13 and moddate patch MFT file 12. The new same, game runs smoothly but with no mods.

- Tried to change both MFT files to ver. 13 - the same, work fine but with no mods.

- Checked 1 and 2 threads and Frosty ToolSuite Tutorial - nothing helped.

- In this thread the player said they manager to work it our with dai. mods (not my case) and some DLC bundle (no idea what & how can be done with it to remedy my issue but any help is greatly appreciated).

 

Main info:

Frosty 1.0.6.1. version installed in DAI root folder (steamapps\common\Dragon Age Inquisition).

1. Steam game version (NOT EA play/EA desktop).

2. I launch with Frosty each and every time.

3. Did not use DAI mod manager on new laptop so I do not have any Patch_ModManagerMerge folders in DAI to delete.

4. All graphics settings are set to ultra (i know mods only utilizes meshes in most cases but still, laptop is ok with that).

5. The mods are not working either in old game (Skyhold area), or in Heaven (very beginning of the game, when u first meet Cass & Leli).

6. All the mods are both imported and applied in Frosty, screen attached.
