Dazip files

What two managers? There are at least three (and maybe four) specifically for DAO, and a similar number of 'general' mod managers (Vortex, NMM, ModOrganizer...), used for a wide range of games.

The best installers for DAzip files are either the native Bioware installer, daupdater, or DAO-ModManager.

daupdater.exe is located in the bin_ship folder under the game install directory (i.e., Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship... the exact path will be dependent on where you installed the game, though). daupdater will only install DAzip package archives, it will not uninstall them.

DAO-ModManager will install (and uninstall) both DAzip and proprietary .override archive packages. It does not handle manual overrides.

• Installing mods with daupdater.exe (and manually uninstalling them)
• Some general information on modding DAO

I stopped using DAModder years ago, so I can't offer any insight into why it won't install certain mods, though IIRC, it can't handle RAR archives, if either of the mods use that compression method...

As I said previously, DAO-ModManager installs both DAzip and .override archives. While it can't install manual override mods, there's no reason to use a manager for those. Just decompress the downloaded archive, and add the files/folders to the override folder, as the Maker intended. (I've been playing and moding DAO for 10 years, and that's how I do it.)

Re the hairstyle mod not working, it sounds like a chargenmorphcfg.xml issue. Check your override for that file, and ascertain that there is only one file with that name.

If there is more than one instance, then you need to merge the files into a single, working XML (use CharGenMorph Compiler, from the Nexus).

I recently purchased DAO Ultimate Edition on steam for only 5.99. What a steal. Anyways. I want to mod the game. I have an idea of what mods to use. The first mod I downloaded was being able to see what I was typing for console commands. It works, but the issue I have is that of all the commands that are available, only a few of them work. I'm able to add xp, but can't add money. I was doing this at the very beginning of Awakening with a new character. I have not played the main game. Is it possible some console commands only work for the main game and not any dlc?
