About this mod

Replaces many static models with new ones.

ENVIRONMENT OVERHAUL

My big project, which aims to replace many food, utensil, furniture and container models with new ones.
Dragon Age: Origins is a great game, but many years have passed since its release, so it needs some cosmetic improvements.
Also, Alistair deserves better quality cheese, don't you think?


FEATURES
  • The mod uses models from Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3 games, as well as some free models from sketchfab.com.
  • All new models have been carefully selected for quality and look, and are in keeping with the style of the game.
  • All of the new models are low poly, meaning they have a small number of polygons, so they shouldn't slow down your performance too much.

Replaced models
  • Food
  • Barrels
  • Crates
  • Dishes (almost all)
  • Tables (except desks)
  • Chairs (almost all)
  • Books (except bookshelves)
  • Papers
  • Scrolls
  • One of the worst cabinet
  • A few benches

Future plans
  • Coins
  • Some chests
  • Some vases
  • Desks
  • Remaining chairs (maybe some thrones too?)

REQUIREMENTS
4GB Patch


Highly recommended to install mods

Since all of these mods, including mine, only replace a small portion of the static objects, I recommend also installing improved textures as well. For example
Dragon Age Origins Unofficial Remaster 
OR
AP Neural Enhanced Textures v4 + Manually Optimized Textures + Retexturing DAO + The Deck of Many Mods


INSTALLATION
  • Unpack the downloaded archive using the 7-zip archiver.
  • Move the unpacked "Environment Overhaul" folder into your "override" folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
  • Done!

All folders are independent, so you can delete the ones you don't need. For example, if you don't like the new water barrel model, delete the "BarrelWater" folder in ...\override\Environment Overhaul\Containers\Barrels. And so on.

To uninstall the entire mod, just delete the "Environment Overhaul" folder from your "override" folder.


COMPATIBILITY
This mod is not compatible with other mods that change the same models. Currently, this mod should not conflict with any existing mods, including retexture mods, because the new models use new textures and MAO files.

UPD. The model "prp_couldron_05_0" conflicts with the Fine Dwarven Craftsmanship mod. You can do nothing, the game should load my model, or if you don't like my model, you can delete it. To do this, open the Cauldron folder (...override\Environment Overhaul\Decorations\Food\Ware) and delete these files: prp_couldron_05_0.met/mmh/msh/phy.
Shanamah's cauldron model and mine are completely different, so it's up to you to decide which one you like better.

NOTES
The beta version means that everything should work fine, but you may (or may not) find bugs like missing textures. Due to the large number of models it is not possible to test everything. If you find any bugs - please let me know!
