Have you tried putting them into the live folder instead of the liveeu folder?

I always thought that for EU you needed to put them into the liveeu folder, but recently after coming back from a break i was noticing the same as you, addons weren't showing up when put in the eu folder, i put them in the normal live folder and they showed up, maybe somethings changed?

I think you need to stop using the liveeu folder.

The server selection is done a different way now so try the Live folder instead.

Have they ever shown? (Is this a recent occurrence?) (If any of the addons are older, make sure you have "Allow out of date Addons" checked)

Some of the addons are double-folder zipped, so to speak.

Make sure the folder structure looks like

• C:\Users\Username\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns\ThisIsAnAddOn\

with the addon files (lua's and such) underneath the addon named folder

and not

• C:\Users\Username\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns\ThisIsAnAddOn\ThisIsAnAddon\

(Equally, make sure the folder "(ThisIsAnExampleAddon)" is present, and all the subfiles haven't just been dumped into the AddOns folder directly.)

You might also choose My Documents from the Libraries on the side, just in case it points to an atypical location.


You can then click on the address bar at the top and make sure the full path is what you thought it was.


You can also test this by putting a file (text file or whatever) in the Addons folder that shows under My Documents and see if you can see it when you go to the path you've pointed Minion to.

Silly question, but you are reloading the client after the addons are in place, right? They only initially register when you first log in.

You might do a repair from the client, too. Definitely sounds like something is not registering correctly.

If that doesn't work, sounds like a job for customer service (crosses fingers)

OK so i figured out what was going on. eso installed two addon folders and was not looking for addons in the correct location. Way to find out is to search for addons in the search bar. Hope this helps others who have done everything right but still can't figure out why addons are not showing ingame.

ow and don't bother emails eso about it, they will not help. It's a joke. Even when it turns out to be a game installation bug and not something to do with someone else's addon.

only took me 4 days to figure this out, theres one post in a remote bloody forum about this. Now theres two.

i uninstalled onedrive and it still put it in a different folder, that and after i had uninstalled onedrive i uninstalled minion and eso and reinstalled them both. thats when i found out there was two different addon folders.

I'm having some issues with addons not showing ingame, i'm playing on the EU server and have set my minion directory to go through C:\Users\Username\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns
but they still do not show up. Does anyone have any ideas. I've also tried to use curse and NMM and they still don't show up ingame either. I've even manually places the addon in the addon folder and that also doesn't show.

@MacWhinny,

Putting the Minion Add-Ons in your liveeu Add-ons folder should work. As you know, from the Launcher choose EU, then click PLAY to login. In the background, the Launcher or ZOS background process then "activates" EU as your "liveeu" server. If you also have NA, during that process it copies the NA to NA Archive, same for PtS > PTS Archive.

Another tip that may help: before starting Minion, open the Launcher an choose EU. Exit the Launder, then start Minion to check for updates. Exit Minion and login to EU. Once in Tamriel, use {Esc] Settings > Add-ons and be sure the Minion Add-ons are checked (to enable them. Also check Add-On configuration to your preferred settings.

Then Resume to return to Tamriel to see if your Minion Add-ons now appear.

I play on PC, EU, and PTS and have used Minion since first release and have played continuously since early August, 2013 during PC Closed Beta under NDA. This procedure works for me. Hope this helps..
