Error downloading nexus mods

The information below is for if you want to do a manual uninstall. Since there is now DAModder aviable, there is no need to manually uninstall modfiles any more unless you choose to.

I recommend using DAModder. The following information is from a comment to this Article by Gaias i havent verified it myself because i dont have the Toolset installed. For this first method you need to have the Toolset installed and working you can get the Toolset here , and need basic understanding with it, dont try it if you dont know what youre doing, the Toolset is a mighty tool and you can cause all kinds of harm to your game if you mess things up, be warned! It should be listed last in the stringlist once you have expanded it.

Just left click on the entry and hit the Del key or right click for the context menu and save the file via the menu. The toolset will automatically create a backup file that will be located in the same folder as the saved one.

Go to the Dowloadable Content menu and click on the Installed Content tab. This should be a relative safe and working way to uninstall the mods that get installed via.

If you are unsure about it just disable it ingame and dont try a manual uninstall, or use DAModder. Use these informations as they are at your own risk. This second method is alittle more tricky and potentially dangerous to your game and DLC, be warned!

BioWareDragon AgeAddIns'-folder, and locate the mod-folder for the mod you want to uninstall and delete it. BioWareDragon Agepackagescoredata'-folder, and delete all files that belong to the mod you want to uninstall there normally one. Save them to a secure location in case you mess something up!

There you have to delete any information that belongs to the mod you want to uninstall. Most times only the Addins. Close them after the edit and save them again. Again If you are unsure about it just disable it ingame and dont try a manual uninstall, or use DAModder.

If you load a savegame after you deactivated or uninstalled a mod that was installed when you created the Savegame you have to 'Force Load' it.

Force loading means to load a game through the warnings that the game gives you, about the content that isnt aviable any more. If you disabled a mod that alters the color of a item the color will be original again, if it was a mod that adds a new aerea to the game that location will be gone.

Of course this can have consequences for your saved game and could make it unplayable, the more complex the mod the more things could happen, allways depending on the circumstances and the mod. If you are unsure about force loading a game after you disabled a mod, ask the mod author before you do it to be aware of what can happen with that specific mod. The path differs alittle on win7 and vista but its allways ' BioWareDragon Agepackagescoreoverride', i am sure you will find it.

If you dont have the 'override' folder in the 'core' folder then you can create it. Normally you NEVER have to overwrite any files in the location where you originaly installed your game, so you dont have to edit anything there.

Specific mods may have special occasions where that is necessary, but i never saw one jet that required that. If you have to overwrite game files for a mod you want to try, ALLWAYS make backups of these files so you can undo the overwrite if necessary. You dont have to of course, but the override folder can become a mess the more mods you install without subfolders, and then you dont know what to delete if you want to uninstall a specific mod.

According to Feedback you can also make subfolders in these folders you create in the override directory,there just seems to be a total path length restriction of characters, so be sure that you dont get over that length and choose shorter foldernames over longer ones.

If the mod you have downloaded allready comes with a preexisting folder structuere, like this: 'Morrigan' or 'Morrigansubfolder'you can normally safely copy this into your override directory and it should work, just like if you created the folder yourself. When you start your game and load a save the mod should be in effect. Basically the game checks everytime you start it if there are files in that folder that modify files from your original installation and uses then the modded files instead.

Updates are similary simple with this method, normally you simply delete all of the files from the mod you want to update just empty the subfolder if you created one and copy the new files to the same location again.

I wouldnt just overwrite them becouse that could lead to problems if the Mod-Author left out files with an update. Those would still be in your subfolder if you just overwrite files. For Questions about Force loading Savegames refer to the section about it that is further up in this Guide. With DAModder you can easily install and uninstall mods of all types, even those that use the Override Folder. I recommend it to anyone. It has a Backup System not only for mods and settings but also for save games, and it offers localization Info for mods where its aviable.
