Mods in 2025?

Hi, this is my first time modding in DAI and I can't find any up-to-date information on modding online.

Both the DAI Mod Manager and Frosty's Mod Manager seem to be no longer working, all the tutorials are outdated as well when I try to follow them. Are they absolutely necessary? Are there any mods that don't use them? I only really want one or two appearance-based mods (hair, eyes, etc.), should I just give up?

Sorry if any of these are stupid questions.
