DA:O, Vortex changing .xml files on its own + conflicts

So as much as I hate to bother you guys with this, I have been unable to find anything about this on reddit or on Youtube about this specific problem.

 

Windows 10

Dragon Age Origins

Game is installed via Origin on a D drive, not on C. Everything is pointing to where it should be, when I click on Open game mods folder it all points to the right location.

 

Origionally I was having an issue where the game doesn't recognize the mods at all when they're installed. I have conflict errors, and there is no "plugins" button on the left side in order to re-arrange them, as I have learned that's where you're supposed to go to do this.

 

I have uninstalled/reinstalled all the mods, I have repaired the games I wanted to mod (DA:O was going to be the first if this worked at all) and they say installed but do not work. 4 of them also have the red lightning icon.

 

Now, I have the following error:

 

Vortex tried to access

"C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\dragonage\mods\__merged.dazip\Settings\AddIns.xml"

but it doesn't exist.

 

 

When I enable a mod, dao_extradogslot_1_41 for example, it changes the AddIns.xml to AddIns.symlink and then it won't recognize the AddIns file anymore.

 

So, should I just completely uninstall this and forget about it because it's error after error after error.

Uninstalling skyrim SE after continuous save game load crash (45 GB of mods +13 GB of game) because of a file corruption and an accidental mesh file loss...........reinstalling........taking pain pills x) .........

 

Wrong topic - this one is DAO.

If you ever get in this situation with Skyrim SE again, don't reinstall

1) Open Vortex and Purge mods (it is a button)

2) Clean up your game install directory. Delete Meshes, Textures, and Scripts for a start. Any other mod leftovers.

3) Validate with Steam. Sure quicker than reinstall.

4) Open Vortex (if you closed it) and Deploy.

5) Done.
