Cinebeast Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi, I'm a newbie here. I've modded up Dragon Age Origins and things have been going smooth as silk, but now I've hit a problem. One of my characters chose to visit the Brecilian Forest first and went into the Ruins, where the game was saved. Up to this point I'd been "using" the Extra Dog Slot mod -- I put this in quotation because while the mod was ostensibly installed, it wasn't working. So, I uninstalled it and loaded my save. Now, whenever my character in the Ruins gets into battle, the game crashes. I tried reinstalling the Extra Dog Slot mod, but the crashes continue. This doesn't appear to be a problem with my other characters, although none of them have visited the Brecilian Forest yet.

Thandal Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 <snip>Improved Atmosphere<snip> a) Extra Dog Slot has nothing to do with this. (As for it "not working", are you blowing the whistle that summons your Dog?) b) Once you employ IA, all bets are off. It's a great mod that just doesn't play well with others. All kinds of strange problems can occur when you use IA with anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinebeast Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm surprised to hear that IA has a troublesome record. I should have inspected it more closely. Can it be safely uninstalled? The mod page implies I merely need to remove the folder, but I know it changes the stats for weapons and stuff, so that could cause a problem. Sorry for being snippy about the Extra Dog Slot mod. I've tried installing it through DAModder and installing it manually, but I never get the dog whistle.

Thandal Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 a) IA "bakes-in" some changes and without the mod you can't play the saves made while it was installed. (I speak from experience on this. I *think* it happens if you have any items made from the non-standard materials that it adds.) Only advice I can give is to load the latest save you are able to play after removing it. b) EDS should add a Dog Whistle to your inventory. Use like any other item, http://static-2.nexusmods.com/15/images/140/1678793-1412120416.jpg If the whistle isn't being added, I don't know what to tell you... :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
