How to Install Frosty Mods in 2023 | DA: Inquisition & ME: Andromeda Modding Tutorial

[@FoodThenGames]

If you are having trouble with Frosty or the website link doesn't work for the frosty website try the github link as that always has the latest version (make sure you download the mod manager and not the toolsuite. Toolsuite is only needed if you're going to build/make your own mods): github.com/CadeEvs/FrostyToolsuite/releases

[@viewer4277]

Thank you for telling me to run it as administrator cus it fixed it!

[@TTHIAGO666]

github ? that platform has a lot malware, i dont trust in the plataform anymore. I'd like to try Paulv2k4's gameplay mod, it looks cool and everything but when I saw that the Frosty Tool suite doesn't have an official website I preferred not to install it, the only solution for me is to wait for the FiFer Realism Mod to become free, I'm sure FiFer doesn't allow you to pay for just one mod and have to pay for the whole package of mods, for me what matters most is the gameplay mod the other mods are a bonus but the gameplay mod is the main one, and having to pay monthly I don't agree with that but I understand, however FiFer Realism Mod the team does a fantastic job, although I'm going to use the free version afterwards which I have no idea when it will be released I'm going to pay for their work, if I could pay monthly I would do it without any problems but life here in my country has become more expensive.

[@TANK1xEMK]

It’s ridiculous that I gotta do so much troubleshooting just to mod some hair lol it’s insane

[@Sims2Pack]

Literally, I have been so spoiled by my experience modding Skyrim using NMM and now Vortex.

[@prettybadathis]

dude im honestly so upset that everythings switching over to frosty, daimod works perfectly for me no matter what but ive spent countless hours trying to use frosty, watched dozens of troubleshooting videos, uninstalled and reinstalled, tried different mods, everything n still not a single frosty mod has cooperated for me.

[@FabulousResults]

it's so sad that DAITools is no longer supported

[@MjollTheLioness-o4y]

Lol true. MO2 and Loot have seriously spoiled me. I have over 250 mods in Skyrim including ESLs. I just want some pretty hair and to skip war table times in this game.

[@alexblack4048]

and thats BIG THANKS to ea and its oh so amazing frostbite engine. "hur dur we did it so our devs can discuss issues together hur dur" bro please, youre just being cheap. im absolutely disgusted they made bioware make dreadwolf in frostbite as well, yuck.

[@Squishiiy]

I just started my first playthrough of the Dragon Age series & I'm a sucker for my character looking HAWT so I resort to mods & every single one of your modding videos has been the BIGGEST help! The fact that you still make helpful content for these older (GOOD) games is badass. Thank you so freaking much!! Subbed fo life!

[@LadyRav3nGaming]

"giving it a night to think about what it's done" That made me crack up😂😂... and so true! Great tutorial Complex. I have this saved in my Dragon Age and Mass Effect tutorials. Thanks for this video!

[@Katastr0phic_Katicorn]

I'm about 2/3 of the way through playing DA2 -because obviously I started replaying all the DA games the SECOND I saw the Dread Wolf trailer- so I cannot possibly express how grateful I am for this. I've played with Skyrim and *some* Cyberpunk mods, but I've never used Frosty and I've never modded DAI...Which I feel is a must (considering how many times I've played the vanilla on Consoles before). Also totally been binging your vids. I'm hopeful that maybe if I mod the shit outta Andromeda after Inq (cuz DW won't be out by then...?) I'll finally be able to like it as much as I always wanted to 🥲

[@Katastr0phic_Katicorn]

I didn't. :( And I'm back here tryin to mod DA:I cuz I did like it.

[@nyahjamieson8240]

I thought I was going crazy, then realised my mods were loaded backwards! thank you for the amazing video!

[@LisaLynnsTavern]

Thank you for this video! I'm not super experienced when it comes to modding games and I've heard so many horror stories about modding Dragon Age Inquisition that I've always kind of avoided it, but this video gave me the courage to finally give it a try 😂 And it's actually not as bad as I thought. Granted, I've only downloaded one seemingly simple mod so far, but still haha. I'm gonna look into getting some more nice mods for Inquisition now (:

[@lantern4435]

Thank you for making this guide. I had never heard of frosty before and wanted to play through inquisition again out of nostalgia. Your video made setting up mods so easy THANK YOU!!

Also PSA: If you were running an old version of frosty and upgraded to the new one, and get the error : " Unexpected error occurred - Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when selecting your game when you run the new updated Frosty, just Validate your game files and try again! worked for me

so ive been trying to mod dai and im having a few problems with frostymm so when i hit launch it closes my steam then reopens it to close it again then to be stuck on waiting for dragonageinquisition ive stopped it multiple times and restarted it ive swapped over the ea launcher and it still does the same thing where it will clsoe it open it but atleast it stays open this time (edit) ive went to the discord and had no access to anything and couldnt find out how to gain access to ask this question

[@harrybroaddus846]

Thanks for the video. Nicely done and easy to understand. My experience with Frosty MM has been LOTS trial and error these past few days. Ended up using Origin and have found that my mods load fine IF not only Frosty but Origin AND DAI are set to run as administrator AND are set as exceptions in Windows Defender. BUT when reaching Haven game assets are not loading: blacksmith, sawmill, sometime Chantry interior; then there is the conversation with Solas outside his quarters that goes whack. Not asking here for a solution did that on the Frosty discord just saying that something isn't working well with Origin. Have run DAI without mods also this week and Origin works fine. Oh, also tried DAI MM, had same issues with it, the MM worked fine but game assets not loading.

The game won't launch from Frosty mod manager after I set the launch parameters for steam and EA App. It goes to the EA App and not the actual game.

[@FoodThenGames]

There was a recent EA App update for steam that fudged with things and a lot of people are having issues now using Frosty with Steam. Sadly I have no idea how to fix it currently however if you're trying to mod dai the .daimods should still work!

[@Godpk11]

Smh, I downloaded the latest Frosty Mod Manager 1.0.6.3 and it didn't even have a launch option to choose between EA Desktop and Steam. Thanks to ur vid I know to downgrade to 1.0.6.1 instead.

[@user-gn8op2yb3y]

Every time I click launch in the FMM my steam and EA keeps closing and it becomes a never ending cycle of reopening and closing and again and again. I followed the steps provided so im now lost.

Thank you for making this video. I've been modding on and off for years haven't tried any frostbite engine games except for Need For Speed Heat and Madden 22 but that uses the FIFA Mod Manager. This video is so helpful. You even answered my question about .DAI mods. Cheers

[@vVRichardVv]

I don't know why but when I launch with Frosty, the game just gets stuck on the loading screen and keeps loading on forever.

[@zarakikon6352]

Great video and explanation. But onfort. I'm still having problems with FMM. I bought Dragon Age Inq. on Steam but have to run it via the EA App ( 🤬🤬🤬). I've already installed/picked some Mods but when I try to Launch the game; FMM closes Steam and the EA App and forces me to Log back in on EA and open Steam up again before stopping and not do anything. Do you have any advice for me ? I already linked my Steam and EA account + got an EA Play sub on Steam. I really wanna use Mods in DAI but this is driving me BONKERS. I managed only once to get some a couple of mods to work but not anymore.

[@FoodThenGames]

There have been several people having similar issues recently - my guess is that there's been an update between steam & EA App recently that's causing the issue and I haven't heard a fix for it. However you could try using .DAImods instead of Frosty Mods as those shouldn't cause an issue!

Thank you so much for this

[@RebelTrooperChris]

The issues starts mostly after EA rename his plattform from Origin to EA App. I don´t have any problems before under Origins no problem at all.

[@HolyMolyOllyPolly]

It's my first time modding Andromeda and the Frosty website says it's under maintenance. I have no idea if it's been under maintenance for a few hours, a couple days, or if it's just been abandoned and left to rot. Is there an alternative location where I can download the FMM or should I wait for its maintenance to complete?

[@Hunter-Sh]

This was helpful thanks.

[@1957DLT]

I started using Frosty this year when I fired up Andromeda for the first time and really like how it handles the modding experience. When I was going to do a fresh DAI run, I spent time installing Frosty versions of my most beloved mods into the mod manager and was honestly surprised at how much better it was to use than the old DAImod mgr. And fwiw: great looking Ryder! We use a lot of the same Andromeda mods (I went with the big fat french braid)!

[@e00041]

If anyone can help at all it would be appreciated, everytime I try to launch dragon age inquisition (on anything, through frosty mod manager, through steam, through the ea app) it won't launch. On frosty it has an infinite "waiting for dragon age inquisition" loading screen, on steam it'll say it's playing and then suddenly stop, and on the ea app absolutely nothing happens when I click play. It is insanely frustrating and I can't figure out what the problem is.

[@johnnyboogalo4897]

Nice,about to do mass effect andromeda playthrough but on pc this time with some mods.

[@sierrawilson1892]

Hello! I just got a new gaming pc and for some reason frosty wont load when I hit "select" it freezes and then closes the whole thing. I'm not sure why its not working seeing as with my old pc it worked perfectly. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this issue. I have even uninstalled everything and reinstalled and it still wont work. Frosty is the only way I can mod my game with the mods I was using before...so I'm kind of really bummed about it. UPDATE: It finally loaded and it worked for a little bit until I tried to merge DAI mods with frosty and then everything stopped working. I deleted DAI mod manager and everything and tried to restart but the mods just wont work anymore and I've even went as far as to repair my game, delete and reinstall frosty and all my mods, and delete everything that involves the game and nothing seems to work. It worked perfectly on my last pc but this one it just seems to not want to work.

[@TactiSielu]

Ever since I was booted from Origin to use the EA app, none of my mods have loaded. I've tried changing the launching app, downloading FrostyFix, nothing. I'm so sad cuz even tho I've already beaten the game once, I didn't do Tresspasser. I wanted to do a playthrough as Lavellan. She had beautiful curly hair before (SonyaSims Jessica from the Misc Hairsytles for Frosty mod), but now the only hair that loads is that stupid tiny ponytail. Anybody got tips?

[@TactiSielu]

Good news: I figured it out in time to replay before Veilguard! Step 1: run Frosty as admin Step 2: run EA app as admin Step 3: launch DA:I from Frosty It takes about 5 minutes for the game to actually appear on my screen, but it DOES load. If you try to launch the game from EA and it's greyed out, that means it's running and you just gotta wait.

[@AriolaBorealis]

the git hub link shows 4 different assets available to download i only downloaded the mod manager zip, since there was no mention of the other assets in video? i have zero modding experience so i just don't know i hope this was the right to make as i follow along?

[@AriolaBorealis]

update. putting the files through the 7 zip made them unusable? and changes the icon to the 7zip icon. not sure if im using this program correctly, honestly very confused at this point.

[@FoodThenGames]

You just need to download the mod manager to install mods. You only need to use 7zip to open the archive/extract what's in it not change the file type or anything. This comes in a .zip from github so you might be able to open it without the assistance of .7zip as most PCs should be able to open them. Then you can keep going with the tutorial!

[@eel1631]

My mods still won’t load into the game I’ve done everything correctly I only have 2 mods😢

[@Raygne]

I set Frosty up and it seems to work fine mostly. I added the option to launch with EA app and it is finicky but it works. The issue I have is after I close the game, Frosty still has the waiting for game window open and I can't close it so I have to use task manager to end task. I also can't drag any mods at all in an archive or not onto the manager to import. Any advice? Thanks

[@FoodThenGames]

The force quitting is something I have to do all the time and just seems to be par for the course right now. For not being able to install mods via dragging the archive you'll just have to do what was mentioned in the video by opening and dragging and dropping, then installing! It's all just the quirks of Frosty Mod Manager 😂

[@abbeyrompf9802]

Love your videos! Do you have any suggestions on load order for mods? Like a generalized load order (Ex: I know in Skyrim you want to put certain categories above others)

[@FoodThenGames]

I mean if you really wanted you could apply skyrim modding principles to it but honestly I only pay attention to it if I have 2 cosmetic mods or mods that do similar things and I want to ensure one takes priority over the other!

[@WhiteZet1]

If you play through steam, at least for Andromeda you need to set the mod manager to launch through EA. Otherwise none of the mods will be applied. The launch this way will be a lot buggier though, sometimes it doesn't seem to work. But at least mods work.

[@xarthesailor]

Well i have andromeda on steam and got the EA launcher but it seems that no mods are activated when i launch with FMM did i miss something ?

[@WhiteZet1]

@@xarthesailor Dunno. If you launch it through the mod manager, and it's set to launch through EA, and it launches, then you probably forgot to apply the mods after you put them in the mod manager. If it's not that then I dunno.

[@DavesChaoticBrain]

Okay, I hit Next, it was then waiting for a process to start so I just launched the game through Steam which automatically uses the EA App, and it started updating the SDK. Though I think it broke because the game is crashing during load...More troubleshooting needed.

This may help someone... I purchased MEA on sale in Steam, so I was confused about what to select as the launcher in Frosty. In my case, EADesktop was the correct option even though the game is located in the Steam folder by default. I launch Frosty as the administrator and then launch the game. Frosty opens up EA but it will not launch the game on its own. You must select MEA and launch it from EA. Viola!!! 3 hours of mod downloading and troubleshooting were not in vain!

[@MrRPGsus]

I'm running into a uniquely complicated issue with this. I used Frosty pretty reliably with Origin but when I had to make the switch to the EA app things got weird. I reinstalled Andromeda on the EA app, it had it's own specific install path (just like when I installed it on Origin), but when it installed, the ModData folder was still in the install path for "Origin Games" not the new one it made on the EA app. When I try launching Frosty I get a kind of error mentioning the ModData folder. I've tried deleting the ModData folder hoping it would just reappear like in the video but it doesn't so I have to put it back. I've also tried just moving it to the new EA app install path but that makes Frosty glitch and it gets stuck on "Waiting for platform". I'm at a loss so any help would really be appreciated. Hopefully this makes sense.

[@FoodThenGames]

Did you repoint Frosty to the new location for the .exe? It sounds like that's why it might not be making a new mod data folder. The other option is to back up your mods in a seperate folder, delete frosty, reinstall it and then reinstall your mods!

[@MrRPGsus]

Tried. Appreciate the help. I don't really understand what's up. Doesn't seem to be working. Sorry to bother you.

[@FoodThenGames]

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry -- I read the last part of your comment wrong. If you have the waiting for platform it's actually working 😂 It's a bug with frosty + EA App. Get a mod that you don't care about/won't affect your game (I'm using Speed launch) and either enable or disable it when launching the game to force the mod manager to apply your mods and that should start the game!

[@theboving5516]

One thing. Sometimes the game will not start. It is caused by both EA and Steam is shut down by Frosty. Make sure that they both are running before start. Pay attention to Steam restarting. If it does not start it manually right after it shut down.

[@tremel7336]

Is Frosty supposed to launch the game directly after I click launch or do I run the game using EA or Steam after Frosty closes then opens EA and Steam? I'm 99% it's the former, but Frosty seems to close (and in EA's case sign me out)

[@theboving5516]

It is suppose to do that. I have no problem with EA but only with Steam shutting down and not opening again. It is not allways but a lot of times. I sometimes have to restart 3-5 times. The reason fro Frosty to start the game is that it starts the mod. It use to bee the frostymodmanager that did it. But after changing from Origen to to EA it changed something. Not sure what was changed.

I seem to be having a unique problem. I own the game via steam, installed it with steam, but when i launch the game with frosty it opens the EA game library, and doesn't even run the game. I have no clue what to do as i cant even check the properties for the file location with the EA library as it doesn't give me the option.

[@FoodThenGames]

It should either way launch the EA App when using steam as they're tied together. It not running the game could just be an EA App + Frosty issue and honestly have nothing to do with steam. You could try using one version back of frosty to see if that helps, you can try verifying the files of DAI to see if that will fix it as well!

Won't work for me because I have the game on Steam. It just tells me to install Origin, which doesn't exist and which I do not own the game on. Can't find any fixes that don't require installing EA and jumping through hoops so I am giving up

Mods on nexus are obsolete and don't seem to work. like "quicker looting" for version 1.3

Huh I’m sorry to hear that! I used the mod recently and it was working for me. It might be another mod you have installed with it causing issues, or if you haven’t changed your launch platform yet that can also cause an issue with mods not working!
