Dragon Age extremely difficult to mod?

I never finished DA:O but I want to start a new game so I can import a save into DA2. I figured I'd put some mods in, but it seems really difficult to mod. I read a guide on how to do it, but there are some that are HUGE files (JB Textures is one) and sometimes the DA Updater doesn't work either. I even tried the DAO Mod Manager and my mods wouldn't install. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Also, what are some other good mods to get?

I've used some of the texture mods and it was just a matter of putting the files in the override.

It's not hard to mod at all.

You should definitely try Tombs of the Undead. It's the best mod I've seen for DA:O, nothing about it seems amatuerish. Three good dungeons, good loot.

No idea, don't know why it would be any different as the ultimate just has the DLC and expansion in it. All of the game content should be modded from the override folder.

I've been modding Oblivion lately using OBMM/OBSE or just plainly extracting to the data directory(easy stuff IMO). Is DA:O more or less identical or completely different?
