If anyone is having issues with their addons, this fixed mine
Addon libraries
One – Load a character into the game. Then hit ESC. Then select Addons. For every item that has a red Dependency issue, hit the triangle on the Left to get the drop down
Two – take screen shot, or make a word doc, or write down the Red libraries that the system is trying to find. Put the screenshot or word doc on your Desktop and open it.
Three – go to esoui.com . Click on the libraries button. Search for, locate, and download the libraries you need. These will be in zip files.
Four – Close esoui.com. Make a folder on the Desktop labeled Addon Libraries. Move the zip files into this folder. Open the folder, one at a time, right click on a zip file and select ‘extract here’. These are the actual library folders.
Five – Copy ONE of the library folders, go int Explorer to the ESO file, go into Live, then Addons, paste the file into the addon folder. Repeat this process, doing one file at a time, and paste all libraries into the Addons folder. (received an error message when I tried to do all files at once)
Six – close everything and play the game.

DBZVelena✭✭✭✭✭did you know, you can download the libraries with minion too?
And that addons usually tell you which libraries are needed?What are Natch Potes? Can you eat those?
I believe in Genie-Gina.4 -
Sixsixsix161✭✭✭That's what I was going to suggest.
Minion makes it painless to download, install, and update addons.
It scans your hard drive(s) for any games installed, and then you're good.
Good luck.

I'm not sure what your specific issue with it is but here are some troubleshooting tips:

I USE Minion. It would not download all the library files required. I removed all the addons, did fresh downloads of them all, and it still did not download all the required libraries. I know some other people in game were having the same issue, so I figured I'd help out.
But just "using Minion" does not solve everything.

Hello Barney.
That's fair and you're right, you would still need to download the required libraries. When I said "Just use Minion" I meant it's an easier way to handle ESO addons. You are correct it doesn't solve every thing.
Download all lib add-ons covers almost everything but if you use "Destinations" add-on you also need to download "CustomCompassPins"JamieAubrey wrote: »I just downloaded EVERY LIB file on Minion, Problem sortedEdited by deadsheepb14_ESO on May 23, 2019 3:01AM0 -

Minion is awesome... When it works. It's a hot mess to get running, sometimes it won't launch, often it won't automatically recognize the add-on folder, many times won't even react to your manually pointing it to the correct path. I dread updating minion itself because of the possibility I'll waste hours trying to get it to work again.
That said, by all means try to run it. It's so much easier than downloading zipped files one by one from esoui.0
