📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS OLD.
I RECOMMEND YOU USE CONFIGURABLE HEADWEAR AND VITAAR INSTEAD.
B E T T E R H A T S I I
This is the sequel to "Better Hats Plus The One Hat" - basically "the ONE hat" is now "the TWENTY hats"! It also provides even more hats to choose from.
Recommendation:
Just use the v909 version and be careful what you select if you don't have Jaws of Hakkon because I'm not sure what happens if you pick an appearance that you don't own the DLC for.Download ModManager
At the time of writing, Frosty doesn't support daimods. Note: Many people are reporting problems with the "DAI Tools Suite Loader", so use the direct link from: http://daimodder.tumblr.com/post/128958896369/modmanager-59-available.
How to use
In ModManager, click the mod's name, click configure, drag the bottom edge of the window down, configure, click save, merge.

[]v0. 3 v909 ONLY: Added Isabela's Admiral Hat (only works on human females and Sera).
[
]v0. 2 Fixed a bug with Inquisitor Hat not appearing.Change the appearance and stats of up to 20 hats!
You need Jaws Of Hakkon for Duke's Mane and Helm of the Dragon Hunter.
v909
-
[]If you don't have JoH or Companion Hats for You, v909 should still support companion hats from the vanilla game (Cole's Hat, Dread, Hat of Majesty, Griffon Helmet) but NOT JoH ones. I am unable to test this.
[
]With the included patch it will support Isabela's Admiral Hat.[]Supports JoH companion hats (Assassin Hat, Orlesian Henin, Knight Helmet). You need the All-in-One file from Companion Hats for You (mod 909 on the Nexus) by Hilliary.
[]If the JoH hat appears on one character but not another, it is because Hilliary chose for it to be unavailable (likely because it looks bad).
Known Issue:
Mod will cause lots of warnings in ModManager

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 220 endorsements and over 3,300 downloads.
- Huge variety: 36 appearances for 20 hats means tons of mix-and-match potential.
- Stat customization lets you tailor gear to your playstyle, not just looks.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—might not play nice with newer mods or DLC.
- Only affects hats, so if you wanted full armour overhauls, this won't scratch that itch.
For Dragon Age: Origins players who want to rock unique hat styles without sacrificing stats. Perfect for fashion-conscious Wardens who love tweaking gear to match their character. Skip if you're after full armour overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic with stat sliders.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to use a mod manager like Vortex or DAO ModManager to avoid conflicts with other armour mods.
- Back up your save before installing if you're mid-playthrough—hat changes might affect existing items.
- Check the mod's config files to tweak stats to your liking; the default might not suit your difficulty.
