Computer-illiterate needs help

[kelcat]

Alright, so...I finally got a new graphics card and power supply, and my computer is now able to actually run games (hooray!). Got my shiny new copy of DA:O Ultimate Edition in the mail today, so I'm ready to start doing the whole "mods" thing!

Right?

Right?

Um, no, not quite. You see, I found dragonagenexus. Found a couple mods that look fun (dialog fix, zevasap, etc)--but I have no idea how to actually add mods to my game.

So, is there some kind of tutorial out there for people like me who know almost nothing (okay, absolutely nothing) about technical computer stuff? Is this something that's going to be way over my head, and I should just quit now before I tear my hair out? Or is it really simple and I'm just missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

most stuff you just dump in the override folder. Documents/bioware/dragonageorigins/override is the path, I believe.
Some you will need the modmanager, though. Anything zipped or in .damod format, usually. Get it here: http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=277

See, I knew I was missing something: I couldn't find the override folder--I was looking in "my computer" instead of "documents".

Okay, let's see if I can get that to work. Thanks for the link to the modmanager, I'll download that, too.
