Got "unable to authorize the listed DLC" after a casual outfit mod

So today I was playing my Mass Effect 3 with almost all DLCs (including From Ashes, Leviathan, Omega and Citadel among others) after almost a year without playing it, and decided to install the following mod from the nexus:

The mod adds a new casual outfit. So as you can tell it adds an element that does not change the multiplayer mechanics or even the single player mechanics, it just adds a new aesthetic element to my personal gameplay, and not giving any kind of advantages (even in single player mode).
According to the following topics, it is possible to mod the game if you don't get any advantage in multiplayer mode:

But as you can imagine, I got the following warnings after installing the mod (this images are from another user, but you get the idea):

And now I cannot play with my legitimately purchased DLCs anymore (just base game). So this is my question(s):
- Why?!?!?! :catsad: (but really, how is this technically not allowed to do considering my point?)
- Do I have any chance to play again with my DLCs after this mod "fiasco" considering the mod itself doesn't change de gameplay in single player mechanics or even multiplayer mechanics?
- Are the following mods conflicting as well? (http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/72/?http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/144/?)
- Should I say goodbye to ME3 and the "investment" represented in those DLCs?
- Maybe is just a coincidence and everyone is getting the "unable to authorize the listed DLC" like in this topic? (http://answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-3/FIX-THE-quot-ACCOUNT-INVALID-quot-FOR-EVERYONE/m-p/4422065#U4422065)

Thank you all for your time
By the way, english is not my mother language, sorry for my bad writing
