Frosty Mod Manager is a video game utility program that allows you to organize and manage mods for various games using the Frostbite Engine. This handy modding tool is considered the most advanced modding platform for games running on DICE's Frostbite game engine.
It's not only a manager program, but the software also includes a mod editor for anyone who would like to make their mods and apply them to the games compatible with Frosty. If you would like to create mods, this is a good utility tool to try if the games you own use Frostbite.
Where can you find Mods
Many mods that apply to Dragon Age: Inquisition can be found on the Nexus website. However, you can also find other mods on gaming pages on Tumblr.

Types of mods
Most weapons and armors acquired in Dragon Age: Inquisition have upgrade slots that can be modified. In non-crafted weapons and armors, upgrade slots are pre-existing, new slots cannot be added, only modified. Similarly, crafted weapons and armors are created with predetermined upgrade slots affixed to the equipment.
Although the Frostbite Engine has limited what modders can do with the game, there are still a variety of mods available. You can change things such as your character's hairstyle and much more.

Trespasser-compatible Mods - Updated nr 2 - 11/02
So I been having some major issues with my game lately, been trying to find ONE SINGLE mod out of…*lost count how many-mods* that causes havoc with my graphics. This takes time… First find the folder - then find the mod IN that folder… I am glad I have them in folders at least…I am on day two now… ammagawd.
At any rate, while waiting for merging and the game to load (oh the time…PLEASE move your arse!!) I was bored. And annoyed.
So I decided to write down what mods I played with in Trespasser.
Since I play with a lot of small, 'invisible' mods, I figured that maybe this could save some time for other people who is addicted to mods like I am (what…dont even pretend that i`m alone in this! DO not deny your addiction!) - and are putting together mods for Trespasser.
Dragon Age Inquisition More Skill Slots Mod 1.7.10
Notes:
- I am quite sure they work for Decent too. I have played Decent two times, altho I have another merge-folder for that, BUT! I belive it wIll work. 95% sure!
- Remember that when you enter Trespasser (and Decent) you enter it without any mods active. And when i say any mods I mean one mod. Let me clarify:
When I enter DLC`S I merge with only one mod wich works fine:
Increase Inventory Capacity by Ehamloptiran
Another tip for Decent is to not merge mods before you have arrived at the first camp. If you merge before that, it might cause havoc.
- I havent written down the obvious mods here that is optimalized for Trespasser, like for example complextions with deshine.
- I havent written down mods for companions either. I downloaded mods for all of them that were suppose to be optimalized for Trespasser with deshine, but after testing, it was one (or more) mods in that folder that made the game freeze. I was so fed up with testing at that moment that I just removed the whole folder. So a note: there may be companion-mods that make it freeze even tho ithe mod is optimalized for DLC. It was for me at least. Feel free to try,
- There is of course other mods that works other than the mods I have posted here. I got a lot of other mods on my list I havent tested cause, lets face it, its not vital. I will try to get this post 'out there' and maybe we can continue it as a group and fill it up :-)
- There might be mods I have listed here that works for me but not you. Trespasser is a slippery eel with reasons only Trespasser (and Decent) knows.
- Some mods might be obvious for the more 'bewandered' modders, but I am quite sure there are others like me who doesnt autimatically know what works and not, hence, this post :)
- I havent posted links cause. I acctually did make links for all the mods, and then something happened with my browser, and all the links decided to de aimed at one specific page. I am a little fed up with links atm, so there will only be links for those mods that arent on Nexus. Those without links can be found on Nexus - and Nexus have a search-bar….sorry guys.
Here is the list.

No Dirt Buildup on Pants by LoveAlice and Ellise
Quicker Looting by Tahira
UPDATE with help from lovely Tirnoney
Taken from Tirnoney`s own post:
From my own testing and reports from people using them, all of my mods can be used in Trespasser, Jaws of Hakkon, The Descent, and the BE. You can also load into the Winter Palace to start Trespasser with them merged without any problems. The only place where there is an issue is 'Investigate the corpses' scene in Descent where if you get problems the only solution is to disable all mods of any kind. Do this by incrementing your vanilla patch number in package.mft.
I suspect that ALL hex edit only mods - as opposed to texture and mesh edit ones - will be absolutely fine with all DLC.
Thank you Tirnoney :)
