Returning player needs help with addons

So I've been coming back to the game, and I would like some of my previously used addons back to help me out.. But no matter what I do, the game tells me that they are out of date, even though I just downloaded them through Minion.. To solve the issue I tried to go into my liveeu folder, and delete everything in the Addon folder and re-download, but no luck there.. Can someone maybe tell me what I am doing wrong?

    The fact alone an addon is reported out of date is not an issue. Being in and out of date is just a line of text giving the date of the addon's last revision.

    If the addon works without errors, then everything is OK.

    Check the box to allow out of date addons, and then see if any actually no longer work.

    On some addons it will show the "out of date" tag just because the author forgot to update the API version in their code. Effectively, just a cosmetic issue.

    If the addons are otherwise up-to-date, they should work perfectly fine if you select the "allow out-of-date addons" checkbox.

    The API call changes/deprecation happen very slowly with the game, so the Add-On API version check isn't really as important as it seems. Kind of a rule-of-thumb is to see if your Add-On has been updated within the last Chapter release. It's the Libs you have to watch for.

    I have tried to allow the out of date addons, but they are not even showing up on my map.. Like Skyshards for example

    When you open the Addons screen (where it shows you which addons you have installed), does it show any of them in red, or grayed out?
    If an addon is not loading because of some error, the reason should be shown on the addons screen.
    Usually that happens because there is a missing or invalid dependency (typically a library).

    Red, and it told me that I was missing Libraries.. So I downloaded those, but still the same

    Is it still red after installing the libraries?
    It should tell you what (else) is still wrong. What does it say now?

    And, ofc, re-login or /reloadui after correcting the missing required items.

    I can't get Skyshards to work either. The other addons are working.

    IDK what is wrong with skyshards. Have all the latest libs..

    Ok, I am not sure if I should feel dumb or not.. But the issue have been solved.. Apparently, living in the EU, I should not put the addons in the "Liveeu" addon folder..

    I use Map Pins for skyshards & it works flawlessly. It also shows lore books, psijic portals, and a ton of other things if you like.

    I definitely recommend it —it replaced at least 3 add-ons for me.

    "Destinations" is great too. Between that, Map Pins, and HarvestMap, you can see as much (or little) as you like on your world map.
