Getting a vanilla patch 6
1) Navigate to your game folder and delete the Patch folder. Typically it will be at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch
2) Launch Origin and repair the game. It should download a fresh version of Patch 6.
3) MAKE A COPY somewhere else on your computer so you dont have to do again. This is what's called a "vanilla patch 6"

Mods with patch 6 

Zhentar has published a fix to DAI MOD MANAGER that allows us to use mods with Patch 6. 
Here's the original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/317dkg/no_spoilersannouncement_how_to_run_mods_with/

Part 1 - Setting up the game folders
------------------------------------------------------
If you've just done the steps in "Getting a vanilla patch 6" you can skip this part.
1) In the "Update" folder of your game, make a copy the folder "Patch" and named it "Vanilla_v6". It's now your backup copy of Patch 6 in case you need a fresh one. Make sure it's an un-modded version.
2) Before doing a merge always make sure you have a fresh Vanilla copy of the Patch 6 in your Patch folder.

Part 2 - Merging the mods
----------------------------------------
3) In your DAI Mod Manager folder, delete the Patch.daimod.
3A) If you do not have a Patch.daimod file in your DAI Mod Manager folder, execute step 5 once. You can delete the merged files created, you will not need them. Go back to step 3, you should now have a Patch.daimod.
4) Replace it by Patch.daimod created by Zhentar. You can download it here in the file section or on the original post mentionned above.
5) Launch DAI MoD Manager, select the mods you want to merge then hit "Merge". You can save the result whereever you want. In my case I use \Documents\BioWare\MERGED.

IMPORTANT
- DO NOT use the "Force Rescan" option. It will override the fix and your mods will not work with Patch 6. 

Part 3 - Using the mods
-------------------------------------
6) Once the merged patch is created, delete the vanilla patch from the Update\Patch Folder.
7) Copy the Data folder and the package.mft file that DMM just created
8) Paste it in the now empty Update\Patch Folder
9) Launch the game and enjoy your mods once more!

REMEMBER: The important part is that you always use a vanilla patch in the Update folder before using DMM and that you delete it before replacing it by your merged patch.

Rolling back to patch 5
If you already updated to Patch 6 and want to go back to patch 5, follow these instructions. 
PLEASE NOTE that by doing so, you will not be able to play Jaws of Hakkon DLC or have the fixes in patch 6. You will however be able to run mods again.

Part 1 - Setting up the game folders
------------------------------------------------------
1) In the "Update" folder of your game, Rename the folder "Patch" to "Vanilla_v6";
2) Create a new folder and named it "Patch";
3) If you have a copy of the patch 5, put the Data folder and the package.mft file in that newly created "Patch" folder
4) Make a copy of the Patch folder now containing the patch 5 and named it Vanilla_v5. It's now your backup copy of patch 5 in case you need a fresh one.

Part 2 - Merging the mods
----------------------------------------
5) In your DAI Mod Manager folder, delete the Patch.daimod. This step is required only the first time you merged files after rolling back to patch 5.
6) Launch DAI MoD Manager, select the mods you want to merge then hit "Merge". You can save the result whereever you want. In my case I use \Documents\BioWare\MERGED

Part 3 - Using the mods
-------------------------------------
7) Copy the Data folder and the package.mft file that DMM just created
8) Paste it in the "Patch" folder created at step 2
9) Launch the game and enjoy your mods once more!

IMPORTANT: 
Whenever you'll need to merge mods again, first copy/paste the content of the Vanilla_v5 folder in the Patch folder then run steps 5 to 9

If you want to go back to using Patch 6, copy/paste the content of Vanilla_v6 in the Patch folder. You will not be able to use mods but will be able to play the DLC.
