Really hoping for vertical camera sliders, even if it really should be a base game option.

What is odd, is that some PC addon authors refused to implement controller support in their addons for PC... and yet, there is an expectation for them to now make a separate console version.

Personally, I worry about addons/mods coming to console - if Skyrim/FO4/Starfield have taught us anything, it's that ported mods don't always work properly and can cause problems on consoles.

We maintain our add-ons, we modify them when the ESOUI API changes, we fix bugs, that will absolutely not be just a port and goodbye.

Dolgubon is working on his port of Lazy Writ Crafter. I don't think he's said whether it will be ready for June console release or not.

There’s a lot of really good ones. Hopefully we can get some of the best like Map Pins, Tamriel Trade Centre and Combat Metrics.

@SkaiFaith Vertical camera sliders? Is that something different than what we can already do by holding the d-pad down button and moving the thumbstick?

That zooms the camera in and out. They're talking about moving the crosshair up and down, as in height.

I know some addon authors have confirmed they're planning to port their addon to consoles, and some console players have said they're going to develop addons, but I don't think there's a list yet.

I don't understand why there's so many options like this which they've always had on PC but for some reason left off consoles.

That would need a new addon though, because it's a base game option on PC there's never been a need for an addon to do it.

I asked some initial questions about this as a console player. I don’t think we have any tools to do addon development on the actual console. A console player, I think, would have to do the work on PC and then port it over. I was considering it but I do not have a PC.

There won't be a way to create addons on a console, but a lot of people who play ESO on consoles do have access to a PC.

I don't know how many of them intend to make addons, but a lot of addons (in all games) are the result of people getting annoyed at something and wanting to make themselves a solution, so even some people who don't think of themselves as addon authors might end up making some.

And just like ZOS said already on here and on the stream with these add-ons if something is wrong with them ZOS has zero control with them so you can't report them to ZOS and they can't help you fix them at all

That's how it works on PC as well. But the nice part is if an addon isn't working you can just turn it off, which will also disable any bugs it's causing, and keep playing the game without it until it's fixed.

That’s what I thought.

The hubby got into ESO recently and he used to make various software tools and GUIs for work. Maybe when the addons come out on console I can show him some and get him interested enough to buy a laptop or something. He does enjoy a challenge. He did claim he would be done when he finished doing quests on his templar but maybe there’s hope.

I'd love to have Lazy Writ Crafter, Harvest Map, Map Pins, Mini Map, Lorebooks, Treasure Map and Writ Worthy on PS.
TTC and Awesome Guildstore (or similar add-ons) would be mint also.
*Fingers crossed*

Lazy Writ Crafter, Minimap and Harvest Map are on the new website.

Thanks for posting this, have to look at it when I get home, blocked at work can't look at it on break.

Stay safe

You can forget about TTC - it uses external executable that sends the data to the website, and obviously it wont be possible on consoles. Master Merchant should work - it stores everything internally, but shows sales and prices only in the guilds you are in.

I say its likely to be people wanting to port mods to console, if the mod creator agree they can do it.

Great. Console economies can get as rubbish as PCs. Fabulous.

I can live without this one, been doing them manually for years.

I am mainly interested in the one that shows furnishing plan knowledge, but I understand that one might not make it, unfortunately.
