Recommended Dragon Age mod's

[VictoryAkara]

I wanted to ask everyone here what are some of the BEST mod's that are truly necessary to make Dragon Age shine - Why I ask this is because I lost all my mod's and basically looking for a list of good mod's that work and that spices up the game play since I last played [before the patch 1.02 ] when their was hardly any mod's. xD

Hello,

 

Well, I'm playing with all of the following Mods, which are bugfree for me, with only the Patch 1.02 installed (cause with Patch 1.03 or Awakening some of them will not work, it screws them up). I have them copied from my folders, so the names may contain version-information, and be some different from what the links are pointing too :wink: :

att_ski_tal_book (5 books on every game loading but - they are stackable - so they only use 5 places in my BagOfHolding :smile: - allows controll over your characters and your companions skills, talents and attributes, without any other complex mod or console (although its a bit cheating, but when I get Zevran in level 15 or higher, he has a red steel longsword, but not the required strength, so if you unequipp his longsword, he can't re-equip it... :confused: - and... if I really want a spell, I don't have to wait to level up :smile: )

Item Leveler (very helpful, but don't level all Items by yourself, if you are a higher Arcane Warrior - maybe, your companions cannot wear them after you have done, because of missing required Stats) (you will have to keep these 2 items in your inventory, or you will get them new)

Spell Shaping Skill (very helpful)

http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=483

 

Deluxe_Dusk_Equipment (although they will reappear in your inventory on save game load, if you put them in a chest, they are helpful - you can avoid the reappearing by storing them in your BagOfHolding :wink: )

I have more Mods installed, mostly Item-Mods, but I think, you should browse the web and choose them by yourself :)

 

I also recommend DAO-Modmanager for installing Mods, if you want a good manager (although I didn't have used it, I have tested both, DAModder and DAO-Modmanager - and DAOModmanager runs smoother on my PC (although it has already some little bugs, cause it's relative new). In addition, DAModder stays now in Beta-Status since December 2009, and I believe, that the author haven't any more time, to improve it. But it's only my humbly opinion :sleep:

 

I hope, this help you a little out of your problem :wink:

 

Greetings
