I can get them to work on regular game but not PTS. Made new live-addons folder and everything is there but when I load Pts no add ons when you hit add on menu.

    You need to copy them under your PTS Directory. Minion has an option for PTS addons as well.

    My add ons go to eso-The Elder Scrolls Online PTS-Live-AddOns. That is the same as my regular game except Elder Scrolls Online. no PTS in the path. Where is the option in minion for PTS? I just changed the install path, is there a better method. Tried reinstalling add ons and tried copy and move all no good.

    You should place them in ~/Elder Scrolls Online/pts/Addons, ~ being your "Documents" folder.

    Also, if they aren't updated for PTS yet, in order for them to work, you either need to edit their <addon>.txt file inside each of them, and change the ## APIVersion=xxxxx to the updated one that the PTS uses, or just tick the Allow Outdated Addons in the Addon box.

    Allowing Outdated addons is the better practice on the PTS side, but I'd only edit the version for the ones you know for sure work. That's why I mentioned Minion for PTS, it saves a bit of time and effort.

    @calia1120

    Yeah, totally agreed :)

    I mentioned both methods por completion's sake. I normally just use no more than 3 addons while on PTS, mostly to help me with game's UI issues (filtering/ordering/tagging/etc.,) and that's all.

    If I'm just wandering and looking around and checking quests and that kind of thing, I prefer not to enable addons since it's best to run the PTS bare in case there are issues, so you have no doubts about addons interfering when something strange is happening that could be a bug.

    @leeux I definitely run minimal on PTS, though I'm testing updates for stuff here and there.
