I have d/l some mods that say I need to copy the files to my override folder in my core folder. Just one problem, I do not have an override folder in my core folder. I am currently d/l the toolset hoping I will find the fix there, but it gave me problems the first time I d/l it, so if I get that d/l correctly will that fix the issue or is there something else I need to do.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Am I missing something?

You don't need to download toolset. Just make the folder labeled 'override' in your core folder and put your mods in there.

The folder you want to use is:
You don't need the Toolset to use mods.
My Documents\\BioWare\\Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\override\\

OK as long as you're aware that a mod installed that way may not play nice with other mods (or even with the official campaigns, according to a recent developer post).DarthParametric wrote...

Safer to use mods which come with an installation package and don't use that folder.

DAzip-mods installed with any installing method (DAmodder, DAmodmanager, DAupdater) can be found in Documents/Bioware/DragonAge/AddIns.
I have never had any difficulties using different override-files and manual installations. There is no reason not to use them. DAzips are not "safer" in any way than a simple override-file that can just be dropped in folder and if not needed, deleted from there.

The key point is that using the top priority override folder is unnecessary and highly undesirable for almost all purposes. Sooner or later it will lead to compatibility issues.
Naturally, many players don't understand compatibility, so they are inclined to tax other authors with spurious bug reports and unfair blame. That tends to distract and discourage people from modding, which is bad for everyone.
Whether the builder chooses to provide Builder-to-Player format (.dazip) or simply a bunch of files with instructions for manual installation, it's really important that the files end up in sensible folders.
