Dragon Age Origins E and Vortex not playing nice

So, I recently came back to this game that I havent touched in years, and the last time I tried to mod it on PC, was when my PC was a potato,effectively.

Since then, I came back and wanted to do another playthrough of the game, I started to install mods and I keep getting the same error that AddIns.xml is not found. I go check and sure enough its there, just under a .symlink file extension. Vortex keeps complaining it cant deploy the mods because of this. This is via Steam DA:O if that is of any help.

What I've tried:
1. Making another AddIns.xml, then reinstalling my mods. It does not do anything except change my created .xml to .symlink and make Vortex complain.

2. Reinstalling the game. Same issues.


I am not experienced in Dragon Age Modding whatsoever, and I fully expect issues trying to run a modern modding program for an archaic game. If anyone has anything else to help, I'd be appreciative.

Version 0.17.3, 3 versions later then promised... No fix. Or I'm doing something wrong. Getting tired of this. Maybe I shouldn't post right now, but it really bothers me. Everything downloads perfectly, then when I start installing and Enabling, everything seems fine, although Vortex keeps giving the notice that there are new files outside the mods, (although I updated them a minute before) or that the files are shared by different mods, making my extra hairstyles mod redundant because I installed a hide helmet hack and a Dalish Mage Origin. (Don't see the sense in that. They're Additional files right? So shared makes no sense.)
On my first round, I installed the whole shebang with apparently no problems, and the DLC was recognised when I started the game, but when I started a new game, the quickest way to check if some mods were working, there was no Dalish Mage option, and no extra hairstyles.

Deinstalled and removed all mods, for a fresh download, and when I didn't want to save the suggested 'merges' but 'restore' them, I got the old error "Vortex tried to access "C:/Users/[my username]/Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/settings/AddIns.xml" but it doesn't exist."...

And it still does.

To be continued, and hopefully, fixed.
