📋 About This Mod
What's the difference between this deshine mod vs. every other deshine mod ever?
In effect? Not much! This mod is primarily for convenience, and to be a "foundational mod" you can install other mods on top of. Deshine mods have always been released piecemeal - "this pack is for the Inquisitor only", "that pack is for advisors only", etc. And turns out, there hasn't even been a deshine mod for all companions for Frosty to begin with! This mod is a deshiner for all in a single file to remedy all of that.
Which textures have been edited?
-
[]The stock complexions used by the Inquisitor, as well as generic NPCs
[
]Advisors' and companions' complexions[]NPCs with unique complexions (Alistair, Morrigan, Kieran, Flemeth, Samson, Calpernia)
Compatibility
Compatible with every mod, but it will conflict with any mod that edits the same files as this one. This is by design, as typically you'll want to overwrite this mod with unique texture mods anyway. For other mods to take priority, place this mod above those mods in your load order.
Known issues and fixes
Issues about loading certain areas should be fixed, now that this mod has been made on a newer version of Frosty. However, there are still some graphical glitches without fixes installed. If this occurs, the combination of the following mods should fix it:
- []Padme4000's DAI Frosty Texture Glitch Fixes
- Aileani's chargen bundle hosted here by KittenTails
If you have any other issues, feel free to leave comments on this page. I will not guarantee a response for personal reasons, but I will try my best.
Installation
You need Frosty Tool Suite to install this mod. For help on how to use, install or create mods, check out the Frosty Tool Suite Discord server or DAI Modding Discord server.
Credits and permissions
Updated version by OfficiallyJewls! As I haven't had interest in updating DAI mods myself, they kindly offered to update this file and let me upload it. None of the content has been changed in the mod, it's just up to date and more reliably functional with the game and Frosty at present. Thank you so much Jewls!
For the stock complexions, Ascendia's textures have been used for simplicity's sake, as I've already had them from the previous conversion mod. S
Deshine Mastermod removes the oily shine from Inquisitors, companions, advisors, and unique NPCs in Dragon Age: Inquisition, packaged as a single Frosty file for easy installation. With 406 endorsements and recent updates, it's a popular cosmetic fix for players who want more natural skin textures.
