Dragon age 2 are the mods easier to download

Hi everyone,

After I finish dragon age awakening and the other DLCs for origins, I will start DA2. After my first playthrough of Origins I did try to add a couple of mods and I could not figure it out. I don't know if it's something on my end(I admit I was mostly a console player until this past year, so a lot of this was new to me). I won't mod DA2 until I finish a playthrough of it. I was just curius if it was similar to how you install mods for DAO.

I use vortex but I had read vortex is terrible for older games. When I failed to get the mods to work manually, I did try vortex and it didn't work(which didn't surprise me but I figured I'd try anyways).

I'm fine playing the games without mods. The only mod I really wanted for origins was the extra dog slot so my dog Declan could join.

I'm also undermedicated right now due to doctor shenigans and I think that's not helping me figure stuff out.

TLDR: is downloading mods for dragon age 2 easier than DAO? Is it about the same level?
