Mods, chess and Wicked Grace

[sbradabang]

(Sorry if this has been asked before. Searching on this forum gave me no result.)

 

I realized that I have to remove all mods from DA:I before two interactive cutscenes:

- When the Inquisitor goes playing this bizarre game of hexagonal chess with Cullen;

- When Varric invites all people to play a game of Wicked Grace.

If I don't remove mods before those two cutscenes, the game begins to do strange things (like "invisible" furniture) then crashes badly. I tried removing some mods, but to no avail.

I have several mods installed, and close to double-digits in playthroughs, and have never experienced the issues you describe.

What mods are you talking about? :huh:

I don't remember exactly what mods I have installed and I can't verify now, but:

- There are a new face and a new armor for Cullen;

- I gave Josephine a black&blue dress;

- Leliana has a new face and a new armor, too;

- Morrigan has a new outfit and I used a mod to reduce the sparkling eyeshadows;

- There are many new pajamas for female Inquisitors (except dwarf);

- There is a new formal attire for Halamshiral;

- No waiting at war table;

- Increased inventory capacity - the new one working with latest patches;

- Mods that shorten dialog with Morrigan about Mythal and Eluvians;

- New outfits for Sera, Cassandra and Dorian;

- Celene, Gaspard, Florianne and Briala without mask;

- A mod to open all halla doors in Halamshiral;

- Long ponytail for female Inquisitors (except qunari);

- Aged staves;

- Some other thing I can't remember.

I tried to remove selectively mods that alter the appearance of the characters involved in these interactive cutscenes, but to no avail. I didn't found a comprehensive list of mods with info about compatibility with the latest patch, so I'm asking if there is a mod of which incompatibility with these cutscenes is certified.

Scenery and furniture disappearing is usually due to mesh loading problems. The first mods to start removing are the ones that will definitely be loaded during those scenes you describe. For the chess scene, is he playing with Dorian to start with? Remove any mods that affect Cullen or Dorian, either appearance or clothing. Then remove any mods that affect the appearance of the inquisitor (who is also in the scene obviously), cosmetics, PJ retextures, hair. It's very unlikely to be anything that doesn't get loaded in Skyhold. Then move onto anyone else in Skyhold companions and advisors. Start with armors and appearance changers.

 

It's not:

War table - no waiting

Increased Inventory Capacity

Yes, we know about Mythal

Eluvian intro skip

 

and it's definitely not Open all Halla Doors.

 

If all that fails, your only option is to remove them all and add them back one by one until you trace the problem, but my guess is that you're missing one or forgetting about one that does affect the scenes that are causing the problem, and it's almost certainly a mesh altering mod of some sort.
