I have not played in 2 years or 3. And I can not get any of the mods to work. And all of a sudden frosty is now launching the game with steam after downloading and using the frosty fix.
Hmm..let's see if we can figure out what is going on. It seems like you own Andromeda on steam. Do you have the most recent version of Frosty? Try a fresh install of Frosty. Then make sure Frosty is set up correctly with the directory pointing at your Steam install (steamapps\common\masseffectandromeda). I found this thread with someone having the same issue with some suggestions: https://www.reddit.com/r/MassEffectAndromeda/comments/zoqg75/frosty_mod_manager_doenst_works_on_mass_effect/. I also found this https://www.reddit.com/r/MassEffectAndromeda/comments/iu7ydr/steamfrosty_mod_manager_not_launching_fix/. Hope these help!
Also I am using the frosty fix. I click enable mods then launch frosty after luanching the fix. Then frsoty mod manager works and runs steam MEA. Once the game is running I go to character creation and none of the mods is working. But I am able to get steam from frosty fix and after frosty mod manager working to launch the game from steam afterwards.
None of the mods are running even though they are in the frosty mod manager.
I think the order here is not correct. As per the Frosty Fix page:
Download FrostyFix
Apply your chosen mods normally through Frosty Mod Manager and launch the game through it. Your mods will not show up in game, don't worry. (before doing anything with frosty fix)
Exit the Game and Launch FrostyFix
Select Game and Profile (mass effect andromeda and whatever your mod profile is called)
I have the frosty fix set to launch with frosty but i keep getting this error log
An error occurred trying to start process 'D:\Frosty Mod Manager\FrostyModManager.exe' with working directory 'D:\Frosty Mod Manager'. The requested operation requires elevation. at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() at FrostyFix.MainWindow.LaunchGame() in D:\Development\repos\FrostyFix\Windows\MainWindow.xaml.cs:line 292 at System.Threading.Tasks.Task.<>c.<ThrowAsync>b__128_0(Object state) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)
This error "The requested operation requires elevation" seems like you don't have Frosty Mod Manager and/or the Fix set as administrator. Right click the Frosty Mod exe and the Fix exe and set them as always run as adminitrator. Maybe that will help? Other than that I really don't know. You could try posting in the Frosty discord or on the mass effect reddit.
But are there mods that no longer work because they are not up to date? Which mods work currently? I have heard that if the mods are not up to date then they will not work with any fixes?
Is there a way to get my character to look like this? https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1850422193274729112/45EDA5730973B604ABB992581DA98FF6D3E88BF8/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false
Or possibly to get my character to look similar to this? https://youtu.be/isIf9p1ozjI?list=PLpCjnQLaVKTsGHAZNfZ3E9fiV9qNAjUly&t=199
I think it is pretty unusual for mods not to work bc of a new version of Frosty. You should be able to use hair mods and complexion mods with no issue. You might try complexions like: https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/502 or hair like https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/835. They should work. I hope you get the result you want but for the sake of not cluttering my mod page comments if you have any further questions not related to this mod please DM me instead :D
So I finally solved the loading problem. It was the Frosty Mod Manager Alpha I needed. I am not sure which version you are using. Maybe for later trouble shooting for other players looking to use your mods as well.
I even uninstalled the game from steam and reinstalled it for EA desktop. Also not sure it would have changed anything there. I can not say for sure. In ran MEA after the fact not while it was on steam.
Do you want the link to the Alpha version I am using?
Sorry for the long delay in responding. I have not had time recently to be on nexus much. I will see if I can find photos of sliders or her save file! Update: sliders added <3
hi I know this is a late but I need help :( I'm new to this game and its mods and I'm a bit confused on the annie complexion. So is it supposed to show like that face and white hair in head 10 or is it still the default from the game but I just need to change the hair and eyes myself? because right now the one showing in my head 10 preset in character creation is the default one. Any info would be great because I really like the annie complexion edit and would love to play it in game T_T
Hi! No worries. Let's see if I can help. Once you are in the character creator, you should be able to select the preset head you want. In the screenshots, I have selected head 10, but it does not matter. Then once you have selected the preset head, in the top tabs you should see an option there underneath to change skintone and complexion. Slide the bar across to the 10th one to find the annie complexion! You will need to download the hair mod separately and put that hair on your character. This mod just changes the texture of the skin. Hopefully, that helps and let me know if you are still stuck.
The sliders are now available. This character had never made it past Habitat 7 so I had to get her a little further on to get the screenshots for the sliders. She finally made it to Eos. Anyway enjoy :)
Very nice mod! and damn that head 8 image is absolutely stunning! She's like Shepard. Can you share her sliders or earliest save file? Please I would really like to play as her.
Sure! I uploaded the file (I think it is the right one). Let me know if it is not the right character or if the save is too early. I was struggling to find the right file. Thank you for your comment <3
Edit: I just realized you will want the Eden hair from https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/835 or else I am not sure what hair she will have on.
Hi. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble. I am not sure what is causing the problem since it has not happened to me. Several questions: 1) Are you using the most up-to-date version of frosty? 2) Do you have other mods installed with frosty? If so, does the game launch with just those mods and not my mod? 3) If you disable all your mods in frosty, will the game launch through frosty? 4) Do you mean frosty crashes or the game crashes - if it is frosty try to unzip the file before installing it with frosty. So go to downloads, right click the file, unzip. Then go to frosty, install, choose the .fbmod file in the unzipped folder.
That was a lot of questions, sorry, but hopefully we can sort it out.
Hi! I am not entirely sure why that would be the case, but maybe check and make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the game. Several months after release I think they released head 10 (if memory serves). Here is what it looks like for me. The complexion can be used on any head and is number 10 in the complexion slider.
I am grateful you shared it! I know the feeling when I want to share a story I am working on; it's not the same ik but I truly get it because I am not always immediately having courage share sth or not as well
Edited my comment a bit because I am sometimes having trouble to express what I'm trying to say, since English is not my native language
I struggle with this so much! Thank you for your comment, it is good to know it is not just me! I think I just worry that when things that I share are not 'perfect.' The expectation it seems to me is that shared mods are perfect, which fair enough. I still have no idea what I am doing lol! At the same time if I don't share it, I cannot receive feedback, so .... anyway I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!

I do not see any conflictions at this time. Not enough mods to cause a scene.
