It seems you've installed far too many mods, without wondering about compatibility or anything, and Winzip is not a mod manager. Are you new to modding?
Read here, (scroll down to the DAO mod lits) this is an ancient blog post of mine, but still valid about mod install and compatibility problems.
Take the time go learn, and the install process will be ok.
Have fun
I have to say AngelD, that your post looks like a dogs breakfast, & when I first saw it I just thought S**t.
But if you remove all the duplication & unnecessary crap, as far as I can tell you are installing <50 mods, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Your list should have looked more like this:

Things like Auto Loot, you would of course only install the latest version.
DABooks is just some .ncs files that go in the override folder.
You can forget about those as you have Talent Books which give you the same thing without the console.
Your old saves would miss the Talent Books dazip, but they don't need the loose .ncs files.
It shows you were using both DAModder & DAOModmanager. Don't do this, just pick one.
You probably won't like this, but here is what I would do.
Make a copy of your Documents\Bioware|Dragonage\Character folder on your desktop.
Make a temporary folder with all your downloaded mod files (delete older versions & duplicates)
Uninstall The game.
If there is anything of the dragonage folder left behind, delete it.
Then Delete your Documents\Bioware\Dragonage folder.
Then delete the folders you had installed DAModder & DAO-Modmanager in.
If your familiar with CCleaner, you could run the registry checker, if not don't worry about it.
Install the game, start a new unmodded game and make a save as soon as possible.
Install DAO-Modmanager.
Create a temporary folder on you desktop to extract your mods to, copy your first mod to it & extract it.
If it has a readme, read the installation part.
A lot of mods will just be .dazips which you just drag & drop in DOA-Modmanager. others you might have to copy files manually, so read the readme's.
Some browsers change .dazip files to .zip when you download them.
If you open a .zip & it only contains a contents folder & a Manifest.xml. Rename it to .dazip & drop it in DAO-Modmanager.
Once you have installed your first mod, start the game & check it shows up Downloadable Content > Installed Content.
If all is well, do a few more & load your new save again.
If you get all you mods loaded & your new save still loads, copy your old Character folder back (merge it) & try and load your old save.
If it tells you content is missing, don't try and force load it, just write down the mods it says are missing & get them.
Take your time, it is quicker in the long run & a lot less frustrating.
