Upgrading to the Ultimate Edition destroyed my mods

I originally downloaded DAO when it was recently offered for free and decided to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition for the DLC when it went on sale.

 

Unfortunately, I loaded the game to find a complete disaster: my shiny new Dragon Age failed to recognize my mods, rendering my save game a mess. All non-cosmetic mods are affected (armor, class/origin unlocks, ect) regardless of their manual install or dazip status. (so I can't find any mods in-game in the 'installed content' tab, but characters that have morphs installed display the morphed appearance and my character is not missing her modded hair and eyes. Modded armor is invisible.). Mods do not appear on a new game, either.

 

In the DragonAge_1 log, for example, it says "OnlineFeatures Enabled AddIn: wings_of_velvet," but that armor was previously equipped on my character and is now gone.

 

I have not moved any files and everything was working perfectly before I bought the Ultimate Edition, so why is it acting up now? Is there a file I need to modify or delete? Any help would be appreciated.

The UE uses a different "\addins" folder (which is where ".dazip" files go) than the other versions. It uses the one under the game's install folder in "\Program Files", not the one under your user profile. Reinstall your ".dazip" mods. (And if you're using NMM or DAMM, be sure the various path variables are the appropriate ones for the UE!) :thumbsup:

Could there be slightly more clarification on this point? I'm having the same problem and I've tried changing the path for Mod Manager to the addins folder in the program files folder, not the user profile one, and it still will not allow me to install any new dazips. I can install overrides fine. This might be because I'm not locating mod manager correctly? I'm sorry, I'm just super lost.

@thereisnozuul (only Dana); What "manager" are you using? The built-in DAUpdater.exe can handle ".dazip" files just fine, and will place things in the appropriate folders for you without you having to do anything special.
