(And technically, the Developer also creates modules. Very large and complex mods that create whole new sections, adventures, characters, or areas within the game are often called 'modules'. The more commonly used sense is when referring to a FREELY DISTRIBUTED, player-created, file (or files) modifying something about a game. The term 'mod', in gaming, can used to mean either 'modification' or 'module'. Any files mentioned in this Guide are examples for illustrative purposes only.

This Guide does not endorse any specific mod, nor are the authors responsible for a given mod's behavior. Please be sure to make back-ups of your saved games before installing any mod. Mods are placed in completely different folders, and can easily be deleted entirely to return your DA game to its original state. They are quite safe, (subject to the usual precautions regarding files obtained from any internet source.) Mods do not make any changes to the game's basic files. Legitimate mods for DA aren’t executable files and can’t introduce malware or alter your computer system's basic operation. Please respect the intellectual property rights of EA, BioWare, (the game's developer) and the authors of any mods. Electronic Arts (EA) is the copyright holder for the DA game and the materials it contains. These tips are designed to get you started, but they presume you already understand basic PC file and folder terms and activities (downloading, saving, copying, etc.)Ĭopyrights. While mods for DA are fairly easy to use, one thing that may not be clear to new players is that they come in a variety of forms, each of which requires certain steps to get working in your game. Why use a mod? To customize your game to be more of what YOU want it to be, and to add hours of exciting new adventures beyond the amazing experience BioWare provided! At the end are some links to places for finding, evaluating, rating, and discussing the thousands (yes, thousands!) of DA mods. Others may have different tips, but with these you can get enough of the basics to figure out what you're doing. This Guide does NOT provide instructions for any particular mod, or contain any discussion of how to use the 'Toolset' or the in-game 'Command Console'. While they are considered 'unofficial', BioWare produced and released the 'Dragon Age Toolset' specifically to allow and promote the creation of these mods. This document describes how to get modifications (mods) for BioWare's Dragon Age (DA) to work in your game.
