In plain English

This repository hosts a README that presents itself as Frosty Mod Manager for Dragon Age: Inquisition on Windows. The page is built as a marketing landing page, with a single download button that points to an external website rather than to a release on GitHub itself. The repository contains no source code, no build files, and no technical documentation, only the README. The README pitches the program as a complete mod management solution for the game. It claims support for both the newer .fbmod format and the older .daimod format, with the mod manager and a separate editor bundled together. It lists a load order feature so one mod can override another, support for multiple profiles, importing mods directly from ZIP, RAR, or 7Z archives, and a view that flags conflicting files between installed mods. It says mods are applied without permanently changing the core game files, and that the user must launch the game from the manager for the mods to take effect. The editor side of the bundle is described as a tool for mod creators. The README mentions asset editing, texture preview with import and export, mesh preview with export to fbx, dae, or obj, sound preview with export to wav, and a bookmark feature for assets the user opens often. Usage is the usual flow. Run setup.exe and pick a short install path. Launch the manager as administrator, point it at the game executable on first run, drag mod archives in or use the Import Mods button, select what to apply, click Apply Mods, and then click Launch from inside the manager. The page also notes that some older .daimod files may need the separate DAI Mod Manager to patch the game first before Frosty can load .fbmods. The notes section says the program is Windows 10 or 11 64-bit only, that some Frostbite titles may require an encryption key for editing, that users should add the Frosty folder to antivirus exclusions, and that the Frosty Tool Suite Discord server has a troubleshooting channel for community help. System requirements are 500 MB of disk space and a copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition. Readers should note that the download lives behind a third-party redirect rather than on GitHub, no source is provided, and the legitimate Frosty Tool Suite has its own official channels worth checking before running this installer.
