dudejeff22 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hello all. I’m about to embark on my first full play through of Dragon Age, and I need some help figuring out which mods I need. Problem is, the mod “descriptions” on the DA Nexus site are absolutely horrible. Most of them are merely update logs. That’s great if you’ve been a part of the community for months and need to know the changes, but what if this is your first time here? Anyway I’m digressing. I’m mainly looking to make sure I get the right “adult” mod for the player/NPC bodies. In Oblivion this was easy, as there was only one real choice (emesh) and everything supported it. In this game there seems to be multiple choices and I can’t tell what works with what (way to go crappy descriptions). I’m a soldier deployed to Afghanistan and I don’t have the time to actually download all this stuff to try for myself… downloading takes a long, LONG time here. I need to get the correct mods the first time. So which one is it? Natural bodies? Amazon? What exactly do these mods DO? They don’t tell me in the description. I mean, from what I can tell, the Amazon one makes the females naked 100% of the time. That is NOT what I want; I just want the body shape to be more attractive. I want it to show under their armor, and no one is naked unless I take the armor off myself. Preferably I would like for there to be other mods (armor/clothing) to support the body, but from what I can tell there doesn’t seem to be much of that for Dragon Age. Does anyone have any advice? I really want to play this game, but I don’t want to “waste” any time playing through without the mods I like. Thanks for the help… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danscott84 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Check this thread here in the nexus: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=207932 In this some of us discuss the nude body mods and romance scenes. The nude mods discussed are not full nude all of the time, only when the armor is not placed on the characters. Hope this helps you, and happy gaming.

dudejeff22 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ok, but does the bodytype change the shape of the armor while it's on as well? If that makes sense... like, in other games, if the armor piece wasn't specifically made for that body type, then the "shape" of the body would revert back to normal when the armor was worn. I can't tell if that is the case with any of these mods. And if so, are there armor fixes for them? So confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosely explained, the nude mesh acts like an armor on the model frame when armor is not equipped. By equiping armor, the nude mesh is replaced by the armor mesh. Each have their own shape and are basically independent of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filesize is steep, and to be honest I don't care about the sex scenes or w/e, just wanted the characters to look better wearing their armor. If the armor doesnt change then there's nothing for me here. :) Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezroy Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 There are mods that change the shape of the armor meshes (since there are only a couple of armor meshes, one for each weight class mainly), as well as some of the clothing. Curvaceous Attire - female meshes of robes and light armor for humans and elves Busty Armor Clothing Body - busty female meshes of robes and light armors for all races Symmetric Massive Armor - various options for the massive armor meshes The TnT Team has created a bunch of custom heavy armor meshes. Never used them so I'm not sure if they are straight replaces (change all heavy armors) or just individual variants (would show up only if that armor is equipped on your PC/party). (The alternate textures in particular have some decent looking options that don't look like the stripper anime armor from the default TnT stuff). I thought there were a few other mods that updated the meshes for medium/heavy/massive armor across the board, but I can't seem to find any others at the moment.

Formaldahide Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Fileplanet DA (adult) mods here are some adult mod's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danscott84 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I would be leary of FilePlanet. In my past experience with that site for other games it tends to have a lot of hidden viruses and malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbatico Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 for the best possible bodies, you need this mod, wich you should install with this. it allows you to set a special body mesh and texture for every race and gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
