📋 About This Mod
BETTER MOUSE CURSORS (For Dragon Age 2)
v. 1. 01 by TheInkBunnyDESCRIPTION This simple tweak replaces a few of the standard cursors, allowing players to more easily find it on screen. Version 1. 0 comes with two variants.
Dragon Age LG This option simply enlarges the vanilla cursors to a more reasonable size. (About 170% of the original.)
SkyAge This option creates entirely new cursors inspired from the world of Skyrim. These are about twice the size of the vanilla DA2 cursors, but more subtle. This gives it a nice balance between size without being too much of a distraction.
INSTALLATION MANUAL INSTALLATION IS REQUIRED FOR BMC. This is because it needs to be installed in a folder NMM doesn't recognize. NOTE: This is NOT the subfolder found under "My Documents/...". Rather, it'll be wherever you installed your game. This will likely mean it'll either be found under Program Files, or under your Steam Library folder; depending on where you purchased.
That folder can be found in ".../Dragon Age 2/Packages/core/data/cursors". Choose which option you want to install, and overwrite all the appropriate files (there should be 5 in total). If you don't see any files to overwrite, you're in the wrong place. Recheck your address path in explorer.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS There are two alternate versions of the "invalid_move.cur" file, should you wish for a more obvious difference in appearance. These are found in the SkyAge Subfolders.
- Alternate Invalid Move v1 has a slight red inner glow.
- Alternate Invalid Move v2 has its 'wings' clipped.
UPDATES v1. 01 -Fixes 'Dragon Age LG' file name from "standard_targeting_ pressed.cur" to "standard_targeting_pressed.cur"
