How do I block certain tags?

Click on your profile image at the top right then site preferences. 

Now go to content blocking. At the top you can choose whether adult content is showed to you.

Scroll down to Use game-specific filters to search for tags to block. Use the drop down menu to go to game specific filters or use the general ones from the first part. Click on the tags you want to block.

How do I stop seeing someone’s mods?

Is someone making content you don’t want to see? If it breaks nexus rules first please report the mod. Then go to their profile page and click Block. This does not block them from DM’ing you this only stops you from seeing their mods. If you’re looking to stop seeing their mods this is the way to do it. If you’re looking to block them please read further.

So how do I block someone from DM’ing me?

1. If they comment on your mod page click on the megaphone icon on their comment. Then on Block User > From PMs (Go to Step 4 once you’ve done this)

2. If they have been leaving messages on other mods you aren’t comfortable with go to Community Tab at the top then Forums.

3. Click on the arrow next to your username and then click My Settings

4. In My settings go to Ignore Preferences. If you came from step one you will already be on this page.

Here add the username where I wrote Addusernamehere and click what you want to ignore, Posts, Signature or Messages or all then click save change.

How do I block someone from my mods?

Showing this Image again. If someone is repeatedly leaving negative comments. Or if someone left a rude, mean or aggressive comments you can decide to ban them from that particular mod or from all your mods. Also think about reporting/hiding their comments. See below on how to do that.

If you feel safer blocking them from all your mods. Do it. Your health is what matters. You are sharing mods you create in your free time. You have no obligation to deal with such comments.

This does require them to comment on your mods. You cannot do this with comments on someone else’s mod page.

So if you want to block them from one or all mods. On their comment will be a Megaphone like in the above picture. Click on From this Mod or From all of my contents. From this mod will only block them from that mod they commented on. From all of my contents will be any mods you have made or will make in the future.

How do I hide or report a comment?

Due to being same image as above please refer to that image. On their comment click the megaphone and then Hide and optionally report post.

This is what will pop up when you click on Hide and optionally report post. Tick the box underneath like in image above if you want to report the comment to the staff. In the box where it says ‘Your reason for hiding this comment (optional)’ is where you will write your reason for hiding/reporting the comment.

As it says it is optional. You could even be hiding your own comment because it double posted. You can write that in there when hiding it and leave the bottom unticked. 

You are my shield, my bear, my Warden

You are my guiding light, my love, and my knight.

They call me the Herald of Andraste,

And you call me my lady

You like me for me.

Whether I be named Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash, or Adaar.

I survived Haven's fall,

Then we had that special night,

I laid myself bare for you under, torches light.

By morning you were gone,

to right a wrong from your past,

Luckily we found you before your shadow would no longer cast.

You were Blackwall,

Then you were Thom Rainier.

My soul, my heart everything was yours.

Yet it was left to me as Inquisitor,

To decide your fate.

To own you, 

to have the Wardens decide, 

or give you freedom to atone.

You are my shield, my bear, my Thom.

You are my guiding light, my love, my knight.

Where can I download Frosty Mod Manager?

Here under downloads

First and foremost:

Make sure for playing DAI/MEA that you are using 1.6.0.3 not 1.0.7.0 as that version is for Veilguard only.

Frosty Errors are better reported to the Frosty Discord (a link can be found on the Frosty site linked at the top of this post, where it says Join the Community) as they can better help with Frosty issues. 

You can also check errors that pop up with this Error Compendium by munchyfly, electricfish and GalaxyMan2015 click this text to use link

But here is the most commons fixes:

Do not extract Frosty Mod Manager in your game directory

It does not need to be put into a folder in your game directory to work

Please do not add to Program Files folders as this has been known to cause a lot of issues

Make sure you Run Frosty as administrator. sometimes you also have to add admin to the game exe as well for it to work. For example when using Reshade it is best to add admin rights to the game exe not just for reshade to work as it is a fix for when that doesn’t work but also because it can clash with Frosty Mod Manager

To do this on Windows you right click on the game exe > Properties > Compatibility > Tick box next to ‘Run this program as an administrator’ > Hit apply

If applying admin doesn’t work try taking ownership (click this text for a tutorial on how to do this) of the game folder and frosty mod manager/editor folder

.7z files must be unzipped. Then import the mods you got from the.7z

daimm mods for DAI must be unzipped in order to import into Frosty Mod Manager

Make sure you are using the latest Frosty Mod Manager/Editor and to delete the Mod Data Folder found in your game directory so the new Manager/Editor can create a new one.

When using a new Frosty Mod Manager/Editor make sure you are creating a new folder or deleting the contents before putting the new one in that folder. Do not just override as this can cause issues You can keep the Mods folder in Frosty Mod Manager folder but everything else should be deleted and not overridden

What/Where is the .archive file with the mod I downloaded?

The lastest Mods do not require a .archive file so are fine to load straight into Frosty Mod Manager

If you try importing a mod that requires a.archive it will show up this error ‘Archive contains no installable mods ‘

To fix this you have to add the.archive found in the zip to your Mod folder in your Mod Manager folder for example: FrostyModManager_v1.0.5.9\Mods

If you try to run a mod where you didn’t put the .archive into the folder above it will give you this error ‘Value cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer’

In which case add the .archive to your mods folder in your Mod Manager folder

The hair/outfit mod isn’t showing:

Make sure you are running the game at Ultra settings as most mods only affect LOD 0 which needs mesh settings set to Ultra to work.

Make sure you don’t have any mods conflicting with the Hair/Outfit Mod this includes any texture mods that affect the same files 

For DAI this includes any mods you are using through DAIMM if you are using that and Frosty together.

For DAI if you are using Enhanced Inquisitor Sliders please make sure you are using the latest update of the mod for Frosty Hairs to be compatible with the mod. 

In general always make sure you are using the latest version of a mod

If you used DAIMM in the past and only using Frosty now follow steps below

The ‘bundle’ mod I am using I think is causing infinite load:

First what is a bundle mod? A bundle mod is a mod that adds bundles to other areas to make certain files work in other areas such as outfit/hair/swap companion mods that aren’t imported meshes 

Check to see you don’t have any conflicting mods

It could be the latest version of Mod Manger/Editor is the cause.

How do you check this? Use an earlier version you have I had to go as far back as v1.0.5.5 to get some bundle mods working again. An example would be my Inquisitor Alistair mod that causes infinite load when you meet Vivinene now (15/04/2020) in Mod Manager but still works in version v1.0.5.5

Sadly using earlier versions does mean new Frosty mesh mods won’t work, so you will have to choose which mods are most important to you at the moment sadly

I just bought DLC and it isn’t showing in game:

When you buy DLC for whatever game you’re using for Frosty you need to delete the ModData folder found in your game directory and let Frosty Mod Manager/Editor create a new one

This is because your existing ModData was made when you didn’t have the DLC and won’t register that you have new DLC without being deleted and allowed to be made anew

This also applies to DAIMM for DAI if you bought DLC you will have to restart the process of applying mods.

Textures Glitching or causing infinite load?

In MEA there has been occasions where textures Glitch this can be due to bundle mods. Sadly other than turning off the bundle mod there is no fix. But if you don’t mind occasional texture Glitch in MEA you should be fine.

Below is now mainly for DAI

Companion texture mods are the most common to glitch and cause infinite load along with the elvhen textures

But Inquisitor complexions have been known to Glitch as well, those that glitch are better applied to Slot 1 texture or you use this Aileani’s Hair Replacer Bundle file as it can fix the texture issues for the Inquisitor’s complexions in Frosty. Alternatively you can use the file called Chargen Bundle found in this mod page and if you’re just having issues in the DLC with textures and/or hair this mod can fix your issues 

The texture mods for companions are best used in DAIMM using the workaround to use both programs together.

What DAIMM mods work when importing into Frosty Mod Manager?

First DAIMM mods must be unzipped in order to drag or import the Mods into Frosty Mod Manager

They will say ‘WARNING: Mod was designed for a different patch version’ but you can ignore this message as for DAI and MEA they work even when made for an older patch.

Texture mods can be finnicky see above about ‘Textures Glitching’

A lot of configurable mods now work in Frosty but if you find any issues it is best to use them in DAIMM

Mods that are EBX edits work also fine in Frosty

Mesh Mods (edits to outfits/hairs) are fine to use in Frosty unless they include a texture in which case they can glitch so may be best used in DAIMM or using the fix found in ‘Textures Glitching’

Did you previously use DAIMM + Frosty together and want to use Frosty only?

Go to your game directory Dragon Age Inquisition/Update and delete the Patch folder and put your backup of the Patch folder back in the Update folder. Do not just override as this can cause issues

If you didn’t make a backup Patch folder after deleting the Patch folder repair your game

Did you previously only use DAIMM and want to use Frosty Only?

Delete the Patch_ModManagerMerge folder found in Dragon Age Inquisition/Update

Now you are good to go to setting up Frosty

Using Frosty and game complaining you haven’t got the latest Patch for your save game?

This is because you likely used that save with the DAIMM and that increases the patch number. To fix this issue do the following:

Edit the package.mft file found here: Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch changing the Patch number first to 13 if you still get same error keep adding 1 to the number until your save works. So 13, 14, 15 etc

If the issues persist make sure your Package.mft found in the Mod Data folder matches the package.mft in your standard Update/Patch folder

Alternatively delete the ModData folder and let Frosty recreate it

Do you want to still use DAIMM and Frosty together but having issues?

If you want to add new mods or remove some from DAIMM then follow the steps found above under ‘Did you previously use DAIMM + Frosty together and want to use Frosty only?’ as if you were going to use Frosty only and then start the below steps for using DAIMM and Frosty together again.

How to use DAIMM and Frosty together:

These instructions are copy and pasted from the dai modding server   

Ensure you have merged all daimods that you want to use  

Delete any folder called ModData in the Inquisition install directory  

Navigate to the Update folder where Inquisition is installed  

Cut and paste the Patch folder to a safe location  

Rename Patch_ModManagerMerge to Patch  

Run Frosty Mod Manager and let it set up
