/Program File has no Dragon Age File? Help?

[Warkupo]

My friend downloaded Dragon Age off of the Steam website, except, it doesn't appear as though it installed anything in the programs file, including all the things that go with it. Somehow the game works, but he can't install any mods as he lacks a bin_ship folder and the daupdater. We tried to use the recently introduced DAModder instead, and while it did install the mods to the Add-In folder, they took no actual effect. It would seem that Steam downloaded everything into his Documents folder instead, and I imagine he needs the /program equivalent to run any mods. Is there some way to download the /program files needed, or some way to get the mods to work without it?

 

 

The Mods we're trying for, specifically, are the Teeth Whitening Mod by JOG and the Respecialization mod by Peter Kovacs.

Steam installs things to its own folder. Not sure what that is, but look in the steam folder for the game itself.

 

Your actual MODs and what not should live in the same place though which is in My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age

 

Those are you "settings" so to speak and its where all mods should live.

 

DAModder should be working fine on the Steam version as, like I said, it stores your mods in the same place.

"*Drive and dir where you have installed steam*\Steam\steamapps\common\" is where steam install games thats not Valve's own

Read the post from jwvanderbeck, it explain a bit where you shall expect things to go. You may want to use utilities to deal with mods, I know at least two at the moment, "DAModder" and "DAO Mod Manager". They will turn installing and uninstalling mods easier.

 

Yet if you want to do it by hand you just need to copy the entire directories into> (My) Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override

 

Notice it is the "override" folder under the "packages", there are others override folders spread over there but that is the correct one.
