In plain English

This repository is a listing page for Frosty Mod Manager, presented as a universal mod manager for Windows games built on DICE's Frostbite engine. The README describes a tool that supports more than fifteen Frostbite titles, including Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mirrors Edge Catalyst, Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Star Wars Battlefront games from 2015 and 2017, several Need for Speed titles, FIFA from 2017 onward, Battlefield 1 and 4, Battlefield Hardline, Madden NFL 19 and 20, and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It is pitched as a single tool for installing, managing, and launching mods for those games on Windows 10 or 11. The README lists features such as a load order system with bottom-up priority, a column showing which mods are applied, filtering by applied state, support for multiple profiles, and direct installation from archive files like .rar.zip, and .7z. It says the manager is part of the Frosty Tool Suite, which also includes a Frosty Editor for creating mods from scratch. According to the page, mods are applied without permanently changing core game files, and the game must be launched through the manager rather than the standard launcher for mods to take effect. A command-line option is mentioned for launching a chosen profile and then shutting down. Usage instructions describe running a setup.exe installer to a short path such as C:\Frosty, then pointing the tool at a supported game's executable, importing .fbmod or archive files, selecting them, and clicking Apply Mod(s). The notes warn that some newer titles like FIFA 18 and 19 may need an encryption key, that an alternate account should be used for online play because anti-cheat systems may flag modified files, and that the Frosty folder should be added to Windows Defender exclusions. It is worth noting that this repository does not appear to contain the actual mod manager code. The README is a marketing style page with a prominent download button that points to an external third-party domain unrelated to the Frosty Tool Suite project, so readers should treat the download link with caution.
