I dont know what to do, the installation progress went well everything was fine but still i got no changes in the Companions Design like Morrigan Hope someone got some help for me because its really frustrating
Which version of the mod are you trying to install (executable or manual)? Are you installing to the correct override folder (Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override)? What specific companion morphs are you installing?
Companions without gear cannot be caused by Dragon Age Redesigned, because the mod does not change, alter, or affect the items equipped by companions or NPCs in any way; DAR is comprised of face morphs, textures and tint (for those morphs), and possibly the hairstyles required for the morphs (for the Recommended or Aesthetic versions).
NPC and companion gear is specified by UTI files, and not MOR files. Missing gear can be caused by a myriad of things... conflicting UTIs, from multiple mods; UTIs that call for mod-added gear that is not present in the install (i.e., a missing required mod); starting gear that has attributes not met by the companion stats; and possibly even Item Variation ID conflicts. (Though the latter more typically results in gear with the wrong visuals, or what is usually described as 'floating heads'.)
If the 'missing' gear appears in inventory, then the issue is probably one of insufficient attributes.
Ok I am to dumb, i thought that i should download mod, unzip it and instalin override folder and its all. There is something else? Also i Tried to check it by changing leliana look but after installed her into override folder nothing happened. Where should I unzip mod and then instal new looks for characters?
To install the manual version of DA Redesigned: Download 'Dragon Age Redesigned Manual Version 1.0' from the 'Optional' files area.
Unzip that archive.
Move or copy the Dracomies Textures folder into the game's override folder (Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override). Dracomies Textures must be installed, as omitting that component will result in issues with the morph files, like shiny silver/grey skins and milky white eyes.)
To use one of the general NPC replacer morph options, choose one of the three folders inside the 'Versions (Lore, Aesthetics, Recommended)' folder, and copy or move it to the override folder.
If either the 'Aesthetics' or 'Recommended' options were installed in the previous step, then download and install the tucked hair mod, which is required by those non-companion NPC morphs. (See below for a step-by-step on installing tucked hair.)
If you want to use DAR companion replacer morphs, download and install any required mods for them. Copy or move the folders for your preferred companion morphs into the override folder. (There are either documents or image files in the folders with the companion morphs, that list any additional requirements.
Unzip the downloaded archive (tuckedhair.zip). If you just want the hairs required for DA Redesigned, then unzip the tucked_hair.zip archive, and put that in your override folder. You don't need the earring hairs or the chargenmorphcfg.xml for the NPC morphs.
If you want to use the basic 'tucked hair' styles for your player character, then you'll need to also install the chargenmorphcfg.xml file. If you are using any other cosmetic mods in chargen, you'll need to merge the chargenmorphcfg.xml files for all those mods... there can only be one chargenmorphcfg.xml file in override.
If you want the earring hairs (for your player character), also place that unzipped folder in override. The earring styles aren't included in the included chargenmorphcfg.xml. You can find my mergable chargen xml for both the tucked hair and earring hair styles elsewhere on the Nexus: tucked hair chargenmorphcfg (including earring styles); there may be other similar files from other modders. Again, if you are using any other mods for chargen, then the combined tucked + earring hair xml should be merged with the other cosmetic XMLs.
@theskymoves Can you help me with the ferelden models mod? I only installed Elizabeth's morph for character creation correctly as it says in Elizabeth's notepad, but her hair is not there. Maybe I did something wrong.what should I do?
Un-RAR the downloaded archive. Put the 'Additional textures for DAR' folder in the game's override folder.
The textures will then be available in the DAO toolset, and for use with pre-made morphs that require those textures. They cannot be used in the in-game character creator, though.
But I had floating head with Isabela and couldn't work out why as I had deleted the morphs from DA2 isabela mod as per instruction, and the morph file existed in the Companions and NPCs Isabela folder.
So I renamed hf_den200_isabela.mor to hf_den200_isabela_da2.mor and this fixed it for me.
Hey, what're the requirements for Leliana Sacred Ash version 10a other than Dracomies True Textures? I'm using the Enhanced Lore version of DA Redesigned.
Any additional requirements would be noted on reference image found in the 'Leliana' folder; the only requirement listed there is Dracomies True Textures.
In the interest of completeness, I opened up the MOR in pyGFF, and the only non- vanilla additional assets used by that MOR are the hair files (which are included in the morph's folder) and the eye texture (from Dracomies True Textures). Everything else (textures, tints) is a BioWare asset.
Nice. Appreciate it mate. Guess I'll use Leliana's Sacred Ashes v10a look with DA Redesigned Enhanced Lore version along with it. Dracomies True Textures're required to use the mod from my understanding anyways, so no issues on that front. Thanks again.
To install the manual version of DA Redesigned: Download 'Dragon Age Redesigned Manual Version 1.0' from the 'Optional' files area.

Hope it's okay to ask on this comment. Your guide was super helpful as I am new too, however I can't seem to find a way to install erf files? You mentioned "Dracomies Textures" must be installed which is an erf file not dazip. Also had a look at the links you gave as well as google and didn't seem to help much.
The ERF is an Encapsulated Resource File; it's just an archive of files (similar to a zipped archive) in a format that the game can read. Just place that file (or the Dracomies Textures folder with the ERF inside it) in the game's override folder.
Cosmetic mods aren't usually installed with a DAzip installer; they are almost always an override mod, and are installed by manually putting the files in the override folder.
Sorry. The recent update to the Nexus forums removed linking (and searching) to comments on individual mods. The post linked to is still there, about 10 pages in, it's just the link that's broken. It reads:
Hi, I don't really know a lot about mods, but I installed the redesign and downloaded true textures, aesthetics, and my version of each character to my Bioware/DragonAge/Override folder yet it seems to do nothing to any of the characters in game.
