Which Override folder is best?

[itsonlydanny]

Hi,

 

Stupidly obvious question, perhaps - but when installing mods, which is the 'best' Override folder to use: the one in My Documents or the one inside the actual game directory itself?

 

I ask because I started installing, as a matter of course - or without thinking - dumping my mods in the game's Override folder. But then I noticed that that quite a few of the mod Read Mes talked about installing the mods into the My Document's Override folder - so now I've got my mods scattered fairly evenly between the two folders?

 

It probably doesn't really matter at all, but any advice would be grateful,

 

Thanks,

 

DANNY

Urm I think if you install a mod (using damodders or modmanagers) it will put them

on your : my document / bioware/ ..... / override .

Yes, thanks for reply - I use both the mod managers, and that appears to be what they are doing. Also, I had a quick read of the 'Mods for Dummies' FAQ (which I should have read first, of course!) and that clearly states that it is best to put them in the My Documents Override folder. By the way, I suspect you are right about Dragon Age 2 :wink:

 

Thanks,

DANNY

Just passing along a tip from Eleglas, who has done some good work on DA2 mods.

 

It appears that they've tweaked things a bit in DA2 and the game doesn't always recognize mods put into sub-folders underneath "\override". So, if a mod for DA2 doesn't seem to be recognized, pulling it out of any sub-folder may fix the problem. :thumbsup:
