How does one install two conflicting mods

Warning: OP doesn't have much experience with software tinkering :wallbash: , so her question might seem garbled. Apologies in advance.

 

Scenario:

 

I have installed Morrigan's Dialog Fix and Zevran Dialog Fix in my computer. Now my sister wants to play the game using my PC (which, being a PC built for heavy digital painting/3D designing purposes, has the superior hardware), but she also wants to play with the Ser Gilmore NPC mod.

 

Now, I personally don't care much for Ser Gilmore (am a purist with regards to game content, sorry!) so I never installed the mod myself, but I love my sister so I'm going to find a way to get Ser Gilmore NPC for her.

 

I am also well aware that the Ser Gilmore mod conflicts with MDF and ZDF.

 

My question(s):

 

1) Is there a way to create TWO seperate overrides (ie one override with MDF and ZDF, the other override with Ser Gilmore)? This is so my sister and I can both play the game without the mods conflicting.

 

2) If there is, HOW?

 

Haven't actually tried creating two different Windows accounts and creating seperate "Documents/BioWare", would it work with regards to seperating our hypothetical two versions of the game?

 

I have multiple hard drives, and each drive has space for partitioning, so if I have to create two different Program File and/or DragonAge/override filepaths it's no biggie.

All three mods are dazips iirc so it should just be a matter of checking/unchecking the desired mods for each player. Should that option prove to be too much hassle, you can create a separate login for your sister in Control Panel\User Accounts which creates a completely new My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age folder for that account. You can each use whatever you want and leave it on as long as you need to.

Adding onto Rusty's advice, I would HIGHLY recommend creating a seperate log-on account for your sister.

 

Not just for Dragon Age, but because it's a Good Thing. If you're both into customizing your experiences, you will always be messing-up the environment (from each other's point of view) unless you have different ones! :laugh:

@ RustyBlade: ZDF is installed manually, I'm afraid. That's why I'm asking.

 

But you and Thandal both get kudos for helping! Cheers!

@Dragon; Doesn't matter that ZDF (or any other mod) is installed manually. Each user account has a completely seperate "\[My Docuements]\Bioware\Dragon age\packages\core" folder. One of you can have one set of mods, and the other... another.

 

The game will only look in the path of the currently logged-on user to pull them. They will co-exist quite peacefully. :thumbsup:

 

 

BTW: There used to be a special set of ZDF files made specifically to work with MRP. I just looked for the link and it's not on Nexus or the BSN any more. :( (I PM'd the author, but don't know if I'll get an answer...)
