Boodrl Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hello everyone, I'd like to back up my mods in Dragon Age without having to reinstall them again. Looking for each individual mod on the nexus and BSN would take a lot of time. If I can just simply copy and past the necessary folders into the reinstalled game that would be great. I know the majority of the mods are placed in the override folder found in Documents but what about the other mods that require the mod manager or Dazip installer? What files and folders should I copy to include those mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync182 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 DAO ModManager (DAMM) tells you where the install files are kept - click on the Options tab when you open DAMM and it tells you where the Override and dazip file paths/locations are. The default installer that comes with DAO...? Dunno that one. Never used it. :-/ Having a quick look at it, I cant see where it even makes a mention of where it keeps the files- maybe it doesn't. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Presuming you're re-installing the exact same version and install-type (original/UE, retail-disc/Steam/Origin) the short answer is "Yes", you can simply backup the relevant folders, then copy them back to the same locations afterwards. The question now is: "Do you know all the relevant folders?" :laugh: BTW: BioWare's built-in DAUpdater program installs .dazip mods in the "\addins" folder. It treats them as DLC.

Boodrl Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Excellent!!!!! :D thanks for the info I'll check these folders (the override, addins, and modmanager) out and back up the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
