I bought the game on steam and yes I've tried to start the game on mod manager and by itself in both cases it just did nothing (I did start it before downloading any mods and it worked fine then). I'll try that version next.
Edit: I tried it and it just says "waiting for mass effect andromeda". I do have "Platform Launching Enabled" > Platform "Steam" I'll try with the "Keep Platform Launched" next.
Edit2: Launching from EA's app works so I tried to do that from frosy's mod manager and it still didn't work.
Edit3: its working when I go straight from steam (it was the shortcut that didn't work)
Some mods dont load into frosty 1063. for example, when i try to add beeg inventory, frosty says "archive contains no installable mod". what does that mean and can that be addressed?

I was also having issues with the mod that makes you level 5 in the intro...
Right, there is a problem with Frosty when you try install mods packed as "7z" archives. In that case you should unpack the archive and add the mod file directly. There is an entry in the troubleshooting section, I've updated it to include that exact error message.
Regarding the installed but not working mods, there is probably a conflict with another mod that causes this. You can check this in the "Actions" tab on the right. Sadly there is in general now way to fix this so that all mods work, unless a mod provides a compatibility patch.
So I got frostymod manager, but the mods i uploaded dont work, but the game runs as the normal game perfectly fine. I installed frostyfix cause I'm reading thats need now too but when I start it up there are no games to select. On frostyfix site they say to run the game first through frosty mod manager but that did nothing. So how do I get MEA to appear on Frostyfix
Late reply but it may help others: With the latest Frosty version (1.0.6.2), it seems that you don't need FrostyFix anymore. I'm using EADesktop and the mod manager can launch from this directly with the correct settings, see section First Installation.
I am just baffled by this but I do not believe a single mod is working.
I put in one mod to changes the look of Cora and she still looks the same.
I am suppose to get credits instead of scrap when opening a container but I get scrap.
It took me awhile to figure out I had a mod problem when I started up a new game. I haven't played this in awhile. I checked the Mod folder in Frosty Mod and it is full of various mods.
I am running this on EA not Origin which is their new client.
I looked FostyFix up online but there seem to be some serious issues with it.
Origin no longer exists which means Frosty Mod Manager is useless unless you apply FrostyFix.
I tried FrostyFix and it cooked my game. I cannot even start it up with Frosty Mod Manager or EA. Same problem people were complaining about online. It never even found Andromeda and I probably installed something in setting incorrectly.
I got FrostyFix to work finally after manually inputting where Andromeda was and manually inputting where Frosty Mod Manager was and even then it was not a seamless start.
This is not satisfactory. Having to start one program to start another program to start another program which starts the game.
Hi ppl, what's wrong with this order mod? I run andromeda from frosty (license EA) and i not see extra passive powers - only standarts 12 for every type ?orders mods: 1 mea fixpack 2 unyielding ascension 3 mp in singlplayer 4 unyielding ascencion mppowersinsppatck 5 groundside firepower pack 6 passive powers pack 7 passive powers + groundside patch 8 passive powers + mp powers patch 9 profiles reworked 10 ench statistics page 11 Power overhaul squadmates level 70
I not see mp powers in this build, and when i replace mppowersinsp for power overhaul i not see to.
Looks like the conflict tab has been renamed to "Actions" in the newer versions. I doesn't only show the confliciting files, but all modified files. You can see that a mod overwrites another one when it's marked with "R".
"After clicking on 'Launch', the game does not start or I only get a black screen.
It seems that the Mod Manger won't work correctly for some people. Try the following steps (try launching the game after each step):
Spoiler: Show
If you use a platform other than Origin (Steam, EA Desktop, ect.), use FrostyFix.
Use a fresh install of the Mod Manger to guarantee that none of the installed mods are the problem. Make sure to use 7-zip to unpack the archive. Don't put the Mod Manager into the game directory or the Windows "Program Files". Put it into your user files (e.g. Documents).
Make sure that you have administrator rights.
Go to your Andromeda game directory and delete the folder "ModData" and the files "bcrypt.dll"/"Cryptbase.dll" (if they exist).
Try running the Mod Manager as administrator.
Download the files from here and put them into the game directory."
My game was a compressed game repack so these steps worked for me. ;D

If you experience problems, I would advice to use v1.0.6.2 instead.

I not see mp powers in this build, and when i replace mppowersinsp for power overhaul i not see to.
In that list you are missing "Powers Pack - Unyielding Ascension Compatibility Patch".
Power Overhaul is not compatible with Unyielding Ascension, not sure if it's compatible with Groundside Firepower Pack.
best eye texture yet. Makes eyes look much more natural. Would be a nice addition to this fine mod list.
