What happens to game saves that had some mods, then you switch em out and go with others? Does it break your game save or does your Hawke looks just go crazy? I don't use mods that change what the companions look like, so I don't know if the saves would be affected. A Hawke created with a mod that is later removed might not be playable though. Mostly nothing happens. You might get a crazy looking character if you remove a head morph or armor mod, but replacing it with a new one and then restarting the game usually resolves it. The only mods I've seen that really affect the save file are gameplay mods, like classes and game mechanics. There are some where you won't be able to open the save file at all if you uninstall the mod, like the Multi Class mod.

^^^^ So, I'M just wondering if the sexy underwear can replace home finery. Can you imagine, Anders coming to your room "that night" to find you in that? Or when Fenris comes back to the mansion saying he can't stop thinking about you, and you answer the door wearing that?

With the homepack .7z's in your override, extract only the .erf for the underwear you want. (your home finery will be available in your bedroom chest)

Install the skin, get the armor at home mod: www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/2541/?Then un-equip Hawkes armor before heading home (unless they are already armorless, then more power to you) and boom, they greet Anders/Fenris/Isabela/Merrill in their undies. And Hawke can then wander their house in their underclothes. Scarring Sandal for life and probably disappoint mother to no end. Or they can be decent and put on their finery/armor. Or the homepack stuff, that probably works as well.

The difference between thor925's sexy underwear you linked to & his home pack, www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/2885/?is the homepack replaces the finery you equip when you go home. and the other replaces the default underwear when you remove your armour. I took the 4096x4096 high resolution textures from the body replacer version & put them in the home version (requires just renaming the .dds's), but the difference is not great. The underwear looks slightly better, but the skin textures don't look any better to me. But then I only play at 2560X1440, so maybe @ 4K the difference is more noticable.

Thanks to everyone here for suggesting those nice mods. One question though: is there a mod that makes console commands visible? I had that for DAO, but I couldn't find one for DA2.

I don't think so. I looked for one too, but couldn't find any. You just have to type reeeeeally carefully.

Mod update experimentation: I had to remake Reagan Hawke. I don't recommend dumping your override folder during a play through. The mod to make Sebastian a super hunk is working quite well, although it required two other mods to make it work. It needed Chargen Revamp for the face, the mod for his hair and beard, and then a third was the pineapple colors. I like the mod that lets me c hange companion armor. Although, I was looking at Aveline's base outfit and thinking man! She needs some new clothes. Her shirt strings aren't even strings, they were just...drawn on like a paper drawing. And the 82 new NPC faces had really put a fresh...face on the game that I can appreciate on an official 4th play through. I'm looking forward to a long haired Cullen. There were some NPCs that the changes were just too much and so I looked at all the images carefully. I've been pleased. I gave up on the Antivan Classico as it made the skin shine WAY too much. and switched over to the Orlesian Dark Starter Armor; as in, it's there from the beginning! Unfortunately, this, AND the Classico, it defaults after the one year spent in Kirkwall to the mercenary outfit for the Varric introduction scene. oh well. This mod required a handful of other mods. I think I found what it asked for a bit confusing and I ended up just dumping it into the override folder, compiling, and hoping for the best. success ~

Another mod problem. So, I wanted the "Potions Unbound" mod because I've always thought cooldown time on a potion was stupid, and especially stupid that a health potion would lock out the elf root potion. ANYWAY.
When in my overrride folder, it just makes it to where my potions don't work AT ALL. So, I had to delete it. Anyone else have this experience?

phoray Did you put both erfs in the override folder or just one (and then which one)? If you put both, then that's the problem, you can only have one. And since you posted elsewhere that Hawke families skintones weren't matching up. That's probably because of Vibrant skin colors. If you use a skin color other than the default one, the game doesn't know what that skin color is, so the family presets defaults to the light skinned version. A way around this is to start the game with one of the default skin colors which is the closest to the mod color you want, then change Hawke's skin once you get to Kirkwall. Or go the adopted head canon.

See, and I thought it was based on the preset choice, not the skin tone. Upon further investigation from your comment, I see the game picks based off skin tone as well. I don't think my Hawke looks so different I have to head cannon an adoption. But I do have to head cannon a darker father. The Eyes mod made ALL of the Hawkes have the same shade of eyes- now that is some thoroughness! It'd have been cool if the skin tone mod had done the same.

Reduced didn't work for me, but normal did. Not sure what the reduced ones issue is. Out of curiousity about the eyes, can you remember what preset you picked for Hawke?

Then I'll download the first. An improvement is still an improvement. Okay. I have my best two guesses, but I'm strongly leaning towards the left/1st of these two because I remember elongating the jaw/chin and adjusting the height of the lips, and I would have been satisfied with jaw/chin/lips location of the right/2nd.

I was just wondering, since some of the alternate Hawke family presets have similar eyes even without mods. A better question would have been how does Carver or Bethany look in your game. But it's not that important.

But it's not that important. the eyes I picked were an amber with blueish/purple rim depending on the light and I'm using the vibrant eyes mod from pineapple. From memory, my Hawke families tend to have grey or blue or amber eyes, so to see them with the exact same shade as my Hawke was neat.

Lylliaa Ieldra In case you were interested. Alright, so this is how many mods I'm using and which ones at this point. I'm properly linked to them in other posts in this thread. Gamplay Adjustments/Fixes:- A Gibbed Dragon Age Save Generator for Dragon Age 2
- Potions unbound
- Hide Weapons <- Sneaky mage and better Cut scenes
- DA2 Epilogue Restoration and Fixes
- Dragon Age 2 Ultimate HD
- VQ DA2 BugFix
- Valuable Junk <- to stop worrying about money on your bazillionth play through.
- Skip the Harvester <- Because when you side with the mages, it makes no sense.
- No Sibling Kidnapping in Best Served Cold <- Cuz who doesn't want to see more of their LIs
- Repeatable Romance Scenes <- Ditto
- No More Bloody Teeth <- eating blood is bad for you. Probably how people get tainted...
- Fenris' Spring Cleaning <- because those bodies would stink.
- Zevran Romance Dialogue Fix
- All Chests Unlocked
Appearance of Hawke:- RLs Start Armors
- Orlesian Battlemage Armor
- Bidelles Cosmetics
- SG Beauty Shop
- SG Finery Shop
- Cute Underwear (Rak_LaceyUnderalls) <- because bleach wasn't invented yet.
- Ashara Party dress for MotA
- Pineappletree s Vibrant Eyes for DA2
- Eyes of Glass DA2 DAO
------The following 5 are either clashing or the compiler doesn't recognize and maybe you have to edit your XML by hand.
- Pineappletree s Vibrant Colors for DA2
- Pineappletree s Vibrant Hair for DA2
- LOTC s Hair Tints for DA2
- Natural Hair
- Custom Female Hair Pack
Appearance of NPCs:
- The Fenris Files<- for Fenris clothes
- Ferelden Cuts <- For mussy Fenris Hair. It was also supposed to give Carver messy hair, but instead it gave him a Josephine bun. HA! delete that erf
- DsC - DA2 ( various names) <- For a cleaned up Fenris face AND Awakening appearance Anders
- Nicol's Varania Morph <- to make her look more like Fenris
- Isabela Pants and Shorts
- Anders Passion outfit <- because moar clothes
- Magic Merrill <- because she looks a bit like an alien child otherwise.
- Chargen Revamp <- does a lot of things, but also makes Hunk Sebastian work
- Sebastian Vael <- For a manlier less balding Sebastian
- Diversified Follower Armors<- yaaaaaay, something to do with all those ugly helmets.
- Official-ish Zevran Fix For DA2
- Selected NPCs Revamped DA2 <- A fresh take on 82 different NPCs. Some of the changes are really strong ones though. I deleted all erfs that would clash with other mods, like Alistair.
- Npc Face Distraction Removals <- The ^revamped^ didn't fix the elven fanatic. You know the one, with the poison gas, with a face that makes you go WTF
- Alistair Ever After<- Makes him look healthier and more Origins like
- Dream of Antiva <- Used this to change the clothes of the Hawke Siblings. I've decided that long term use, the shine is too distracting for Fem Hawke
Bringing me to a total of 43.I plan to remove one (miss Fenris swarthy face), mess with the 5 hair mods that probably clash (on another run through), maybe the eye ones do too? and probably add one more (because I want to see Fenris with his shirt off. RAWR.) But probably won't keep his shirt off permanently. I mean, seriously. That'd be distracting going through town, screaming, "I am an oddly tattooed elf from Tevinter!" The Save Generator does not work perfectly; it assumed my Surana took the Free the Circle boon. It also seems to say she let Amaranthine burn, when I never have, and maybe even that Surana ignored the threats on her life. The former is merely one dialogue line from the barkeep. The latter involves a quest where Hawke goes bounty hunting for the conspirators that had attempted to end Warden Surana's life. It got that Alistair was king and that my Surana was a mage correct.. We'll see how it works for the fact that she's in a monogamous relationship with Zevran, considering I have two mods just to make sure he doesn't do a bush dance with Isabella to help support that idea.

Thanks for the tag phoray ! Also, *snip*------The following 5 are either clashing or the compiler doesn't recognize and maybe you have to edit your XML by hand.
- Pineappletree s Vibrant Colors for DA2
- Pineappletree s Vibrant Hair for DA2
- LOTC s Hair Tints for DA2
- Natural Hair
- Custom Female Hair Pack
*snip* Your problem is definitely coming from here. If I recall correctly (it's been a long time though, so I'm not 100% sure), I had the same problem with the white hair. You'll have to make a choice (dun dun dun!) because they definitely conflict with each other. I checked quickly the nexus pages of the mods and this is what I found in Pineappletree's mods: Vibrant Hair Vibrant Colours Hope this helps you! I don't have any idea what's going on with the save generator however, sorry!

SO, I kept these two: Pineappletree s Vibrant Colors for DA2 Pineappletree s Vibrant Hair for DA2 Natural Hairs
And dropped these three: LOTC s Hair Tints for DA2 Custom Female Hair Pack
The Sebastian mod requires the Vibrant Colors mod from pineappletree is how I made my choice.
Edit Add: I was going to change the appearance of my Hawke because I found a music video that had her twin sister in it. But I was too sad making a new Hawke, so I guess I'll just play with my unoriginal clone. TOO ATTACHED.
