myrix92 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi all~I'm finally posting this as...an act of desperation, if you will. :wallbash: I've been searching everywhere to solve issues I'm having with mods.. x.x I have DA:O only, and I played it through twice. All the mods (grey warden runic armor, silver warden armor, black templar armor, added romance scenes, gifts of andraste) showed up fine on both characters I played with. I made a third character, and this is where I hit the problem. All the mods worked fine EXCEPT for the armor mods - both the armor and the sword/shield sets didn't show up. I read literally all the forum threads on the problem concerning possible bleed-over of info that might've caused the game to confuse equipments on characters, so I did the whole move other characters to different place, uninstall mods, reinstall..etcetcetc. It didn't work. The armor mods for the third character still didn't show up. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game like...5 times now just to make sure there weren't any left over character files that might be causing the problem. I'm not sure whether the 1.04 patch is messing up with the mod files...I read from a thread somewhere that the patch could be conflicting with the armor mods, so I tried reinstalling the game and not patching it. I might be screwing up in this step because I have the Steam version of DA:O and the only way I know how to "not patch" a game is to set the game updater to not update automatically. SO...Basically ever since the first two characters, I can't get the armor mods to work . :sad: I was wondering whether there is a solution to this problem...whether patch 1.04 is the problem (if so how to make steam not patch it when I reinstall)... or whether grey warden runic armor and black templar armor don't work with the 1.04 patch... Please help ;~; I appreciate your time and effort to help me in advance. Cheers~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeWolf Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Heyas Myrix, welcome to the nexus forums! :) Yup patch 1.04 is indeed the source of your troubles. Patch 1.03 and patch 1.04 totally botch the way that some of the add item scripts work. They will not work if the mod is active when you start up a new character. What you have to do is go through and deactivate those mods BEFORE starting the new character, then play it til you get to a save point. save the game, exit and then RE-activate the mods. They should then appear on your toon when you load up the save game on him/her. They screwed it up pretty good. Thats about the only way to get those particular scripts to work since the patches. There is indeed a way to keep steam from patching. Theres a setting for it somewhere there. [edit] Forgot the link! SORRY!!! http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=188576&st=0&gopid=1642037entry1642037 [/edit]Post #6 Sabiale explains how. Ignore the convo about the items not working in THAT discussion, the whole ordeal with trying to get them to load completely changed after 1.04 after that one they just won't. :verymad: My advice is that if you made the toon in the character creator, to go into documents/bioware/dragonage/characters and then delete the folder for them and start them over using the method that I described above. Cuz it's gonna be a royal she-dog trying to figure out a way to get them to load because of that bug. :( Hope that this helps!Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
