Does EA support modding? I would have been too afraid to post something like this unsure of what any EA employers would do if they saw it.
Well I guess it doesn't matter as long as I paid for the game right? I only wish they did what Witcher 3 did and will truly support modding making it easier for us to use the mods and not have to encounter problems like these. Not all the mods I like work even though there is a good amount of them I want. Too complicated or incompatible, its annoying. Anyways I have this exact same issue. I would like to play with the game modded, enjoying the game much more while doing so, however sometimes the mods just don't work, and its either a game that doesn't launch, or a game that does but I have to play a new game / multiplayer only.
Discussion of modding, and issues with mods, are allowed on these boards (and most of us on these boards are fellow gamers, like yourself, not EA employees).
As for your issues with mods, some older mods were broken by more recent patches, and the makers have since moved to other games, so it's possible that's why some of the ones you want aren't working. Mods which change things like shops, hair, etc can overwrite each other/use the same 'slot', which may be why some are showing as incompatible (modders have been unable to actually add things to the game, all they can do is change things which already exist, which is why, for example, hair mods all replace a hair which already exists). It's a bit difficult to know what issues you're having without knowing what mods you're using/trying to use unsuccessfully.
There are also certain places in the game where mods may cause a crash/white screen/some other issue preventing you from progressing. Most of these are in DLC areas (including the Black Emporium, especially if you try to use the mirror), there is also one I can think of in the main game which happens before you discover Skyhold.
If you have questions about specific mods or getting mods to work, feel free to PM me and I'll see if I can help.

Thank you SOO Much!! I was dreading having to download and install new files i had never heard about before and you saved me ton of trouble with your easy fix I did exactly as you said and it worked immediately. Thank you!
@chrisanthym0228 If you're getting the latest patch error, it's likely because you have been playing with mods and you have removed them. In that case, all you need to do is open your patch folder (Dragon Age Inquisition > Update > Patch) and open package.mft with a text editor (notepad is fine). Change the version number to match that of the removed patch folder (ideally you will only have to increase it by 1, so change it from 12 to 13). If you put mods back in or intend to make a new merge, I recommend you revert this change so your version numbers stay as they are.
