Changed from steam to origin version now mods wont load.

[Deezshoes]

Hello, I recently bought dragon age origins on origin after already owning it on steam. I cannot load any of my saved characters because I'm missing the mods they were created with. I tried to redownload all the mods I know I had but I still had my dragon age folder in documents with all my mods there and in the right folders. I had already uninstalled the steam version of the game, so I thought when I opened up the origins version for the first time I would have a new folder in documents. It appears that I still have the same folder in documents that I had for the steam version. Is there any way for me to get my mods working again?

When you uninstall the Steam version, it won't delete files you have added yourself or remove the folders they are in.

Move your Documents\Dragon Age\Characters folder to the desktop. (they are your saved games.)

Delete the Dragon Age folder in Documents.

When you start Dragon Age it will create a new folder.

If you were using DAO ModManager, delete the folder it was in, along with any dazip or override folders it created and then reinstall it.

Then reinstall your mods.

Your Saves won't be touched. And everything under "\[user's documents]\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override" can be left alone.

 

The ONLY things that need to be reinstalled are your .dazip (and .override, if you have any) mods.
