It's hella distracting, and I do love this mod so I really want to make it work without having to play on low quality. I've tried every other combination of settings I can think of--even going so far as to see if the NVIDIA control panel could fix something (none of what I tried worked, but I admit I don't know much about it). The issue exists on both the base and Ellise custom texture versions.
So I downloaded this mod, but I had to delete it cause the head morph that I had with Anders wasn't showing up, so I uninstalled it properly by the way but when I go back into the Hawke house he doesn't show up at all, but I can still put him in my party. I tried to go back to my previous save before I downloaded the mod, which was before he moved in and he still disappears! When I uninstalled everything, he shows up at the house but now I can't talk to him nor does his name show up but his model is there. Now I have to go back to a previous state from that and I lost a lot of game time cause of this mod. So please be cautious if you want this mod and keep it throughout the gameplay. The outfits are cute but issues can still happen! Uninstalling this mod is not like other erf mods. I would gladly keep this mod if it worked for the head morph that I have, which is https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/2434
Edit: I got back up to the point in the game where I was, I still do not see him at all in the house. So either I have to get rid of the head morph which I don't want to do since I love it or completely restart my whole game. I do not want this mod in any other files. RIP. edit 2: So I realized why it was acting up, turns out there was another file of the same mod on my mods list. So that's probably why it was acting up, but regardless please be careful, I had to delete my game to figure this out. ;-; Edit 3: So I ended up going back to the point I deleted and he still isn't there in the house. I restarted my whole game and he wasn't there without the mod. I am gonna try uninstalling my game to see if this can be resolved, or clear out my entire mod folder cause Anders is not showing up at all in the house. mini edit four in 3, so he didn't show up even if I did uninstalled it. so I'm gonna try to delete every file of DA2 to do see if it works. EDIT 4: SO I AM A DUMBASS ANDERS ONLY SHOW UP IN ACT 3, not in act 2 in the house. I am so sorry, but when I get to act 3 I will see if it works properly.
I absolutely adore this mod, though I found a funny thing while exploring the wounded coast in act 3 - I wouldn't really call it a bug, but it was surprising!
... HA. Oh my god, I know exactly what caused that, but I'd never expected it to! My script changes the appearance on hostage Anders in Best Served Cold to match the house outfit; doing that must have triggered him to load prematurely when you visited, instead of just for the quest!
Yep! Same here. Was wandering around the Coast doing some quests, long before I started, "Best Served Cold." And there was poor Anders on the Wounded Coast - by himself - in his jammies - looking so bored.
I'm having trouble uninstalling the mod, unfortunately. I've followed your instructions - delete the .erf file and then put the uninstall GDA and NCS files in my override folder - but no joy, Anders completely disappears, both in the game and the party picker. Any ideas re fixing this?! Many thanks.
So, could I use a retexture (for his basic outfit) alongside this mod? Like, I assume the retexture would only be a thing until the romance armor kicks in.
Would it be alright if I tried to merge this with an Anders retexture? Like, if I took a different Anders outfit replacer and tried to apply the higher res textures to what you have- so the end result is basically your armor but with higher res textures? I want to use this quarantine time to experiment, lmao. Try to merge the functionality of this mod with, perhaps, the looks of another. Or give it a retexture. Or something.
Any chance a hair tie-only version will ever be uploaded? I see it mentioned in the comments but I can't seem to see a file like that in the options....I know its an older mod, but I would love to just use the favor as a stand alone, since there's no other mods I can find that add one ;u;
That would be pretty easy! The one thing, though, is that it would not be compatible with custom morphs. Would you be interested in the base version, or Ellise's high resolution retexture version?
Ohh, do you still have the file with just the hair favor using Ellise's texture? I'd love that one myself! I know this post is super old, sorry. I love using the house robes version of this mod but I always loved the idea of Anders wearing a red favor in his hair and I already use Ellise's textures for him. C:
Does the "House Robes Only" version also move Anders into the estate? Also, what happens if he moves in, and then later dumps your ass for feeding Feynriel to demons? Would he move out again, or stay awkwardly and stare at you? lol
1. Yep! 2. ... I have not tested this because I didn't think anyone would actually do it, lol. I belieeeeve it should stop spawning him in the Estate but he will remain in the romance robes until he switches to his dark outfit?
I did it on my jackass blood mage playthrough. My plan was to do that and then take his suggestion and go romance Merrill- but the game won't let you. It thinks you're unavailable and romances are closed off, sigh.
However, he did keep spawning in the estate until I uninstalled the mod. Oops.
Huh! That's interesting - I'd have thought that the romance plot flag for him would be unset then. It sounds like the game doesn't set the breakup flag appropriately in that instance - sorry about that!
In act 3 Questioning Beliefs cutscene, Anders' costume changes back to his regular black armor.

I talked to him both in his clinic and Hawke's apartment, but the custom outfits wouldn't work. His earring still works, so does Hawke's favor. Other than this cutscene, the mod worked perfectly so far. Any advice? (I'm using v3.1 Ellise Custom Texture Edition)
Huh, looks like the costume change triggered in that scene must override his outfit change for this. I bet I can fix it by overriding the .cl file for the start of the conversation to trigger the outfit change script - I'll try to work that up and upload it when I have a chance!
I had the same issue and the fix for me was a basic one. First remove the mod, then load your save, make a new save, and then quit. Add the mod back in and then load your fresh made save and his pretty red feathers should be back. I hope this easy fix works for you too.

I'm having huge lighting issues. On Medium or higher graphics quality, it like... glows...? In the shadows?

But on specifically Low quality, the lighting/shading looks fine.
