How To Add Mods To Origin Games

 

Modding DA2 through Origin - posted in Dragon Age 2 Mod Talk: I've been playing DA2 on my PS3 since the release day, but now I want to mod it and play around with all the awesome changes available on this site. So I thought I would download it on Origin, but now I can't figure out how to add the mods I've downloaded. Nov 13, 2013  Modding DA on EA's Origin? - posted in Dragon Age Mod Talk: So I got The compleet edition of DA, but not on steam but on Origin, now I was wondering if it is possible to mod DA on Origin as I read that people got banned for modding ME3 on Origin. I have owned the steam version for some time and have a huge selection of mods and assets stored in C: Users UserName AppData Local Colossal Order CitiesSkylines. I also have Origin access so downloaded the game when it became available so that I could run 2 copies with Different mods and assets.

How To Add Mods To Origin Games

Can You Mod Origin Games

  • Hello
    It is exciting that you have a new computer!
    Your sims 4 game is linked to your origin account. After setting up your new computer, dowload and install Origin onto it. Then log into origin on your new computer using the same account that you used to register the game and packs on the old computer , then click on the Games Library section, click on the sims 4 picture, then download/install it there. Then click the extra content button that is half way down the page. That will take you to a screen that shows you what game packs, stuff packs and eps you own. You can then download/install them there.
    Make a copy of your sims 4 folder on your old computer that is in Documents > Electronic Arts > ( then The Sims 4 folder is there ) and place it on an external drive.
    Then after installing the sims 4 game onto the new computer, play it once to generate a new sims 4 folder.
    In your sims 4 folder are your saves folder ( contains your save games) and the tray folder ( which contains your lots and households that you have uploaded to your library or have downloaded from the community gallery ) Replace the saves, tray, mods, custom music and screenshots folders that are in the new sims 4 folder with the same folders that are in the sims 4 folder on your external drive. You will then have your old save games and creations etc on your new computer.
    With sims 2 and 3 ,other simmers may be able to help you with transferring files. I think though that Sims 3 transferring of files would be similar to Sims 4 ,

    Try the rest of the mods. Pull them all out and add them back in gradually.

  • I have like over 300 mod and cc, won't that potentially make my game worse if i keep opening it up, adding and subtracting things?

    Hello
    By testing the mods and cc, you can narrow down the cause of the issues,
    Because you have a lot of mods/cc, use the 50/50 method. Put half of your mods/cc into the mods folder then start the game and see if the issue is still there. If the issue is not there, then you know that those items work okay with the game. Then you can test the other half of your cc/mods.
    If the issue is still there with the first half, you will need to keep testing them to see what is causing the problem. Then you will need to test the second half of your cc/mods too.

  • @JSimmy - Just don't save the game when it successfully opens. Exit without saving and keep checking the CC. (And be glad you only have 300 - we see people go through this with a lot more!)

  • This is very odd because I just removed ALL my mods and it is still giving me the same message
    'Cannot start because the below file appears to be corrupted. If this file is a mod please remove it and try again. If not, please repair or reinstall the game via Origin.

  • I'm not sure why I'm getting this message but the only option it's looking like is to just uninstall my game completely and just restart everything
  • Omg I think I found the soulution! I read somewhere to change the name of the folder and my game immediately loaded! Now I have to go through each file and add them one by one to my game! Thanks so much guys!

    Your in the sims 4 section However if you register your sims 3 disc codes on origin you get a free download version. you can also install the game on your new computer via disc. Are you trying to take your old sims 3 game files and transfer them to the new computer? if Im not mistaken disc save games can not be used on the download version but let me double check with @igazor

    Hello @luckycharms312
    Your sims 3 game is linked to your origin account. When you first registered the game and any packs,they were added to your account.
    After setting up your new computer, dowload and install Origin onto it. Then log into origin on your new computer using the same account that you used to register the sims 3 game and packs on your old computer , then click on the Games Library section, click on the sims 3 picture, then download/install it there. Then click the extra content button that is half way down the page. That will take you to a screen that shows you what sims 3-ep and stuff packs that you own. You can then download/install them there.

    It doesn't matter if the saved games are from a disk or digital install. They will work either way... *From personal experience.

    Agreed. As long as any EPs you had in play previously will be in play now, the saved games themselves can go across Mac-Windows, disc-Origin-(even Steam), all of the kinds of installs. I'm still playing the same ongoing game I started in 2011 on TS3 for Mac (authorized digital download from before Origin for Mac existed) and it's been through the switch to Windows (Origin) and then Steam. It's still running just fine.

    Thats good to know. I don't know where I heard that you can't cross over disc save to download so I was not sure. Thanks

  • I recently had to do a factory reset on my computer (it wasn't functioning properly), and I had just assumed I would be able to just redownload them, and I didn't particularly care about my save files, and I knew I would just redownload my mods again, but now I've gone to try and redownload them and I can't, the only option is to too buy them? I've already visited the Origin help site and it wasn't at all helpful. I'm pretty positive I've signed into the right Origin account, but now I can't even find the Order confirmations in that email, or any of my emails for tat atter, and I feel like I'm going crazy

    Hello @fdubbunny
    Try logging into Origin using the same account that you used when registering the game, then go to games library and see if Sims 4 picture is there. Click on the sims 4 picture, and a new screen will pop up, then you can download/install it there. Then click the extra content button that is half way down the page. That will take you to a screen that shows you what sims 3-ep and stuff packs that you own. You can then download/install them there.
    Your save game files though are not stored online. They are in your Documents -Electronic Arts - sims 4 -saves folder on your computer, You would have have needed to make a back up copy and placed it on an external drive. I am sorry

  • Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me.
    I bought a new laptop (yay!) and am trying to transfer my saved games from my old laptop to my new one. I've read all the comments so re-downloaded sims 4 from origin, started the game so that the folder appeared, then deleted the saves, tray and mod folder and replaced them with the ones from my old computer.
    I started the game up again and there is nothing there. No saved games, no mods (I checked and they are enabled) and it treats me as a beginner with a tutorial etc... The cache is empty and I've restarted the game. :disappointed:
    I'm at a loss on what to do next - does anyone have any ideas that could help?
    Thank you in advance :smile:

    Yeah, I don't really care about the save files, I would've deleted them anyway tbh. I am 100% positive that I've signed into origin with the proper email, but the games still aren't there, however I did notice in the lower corner of the Origin screen it no longer says my email address like it used to, nor does it sow the profile picture that used to be there. instead the image is just a blue 'A', and it shows my username. Originally I had just assumed that it was because Origin updated, but could it be related to my missing games?
