How to get the game to recognise add-ons?

Astarielle
hi
I downloaded some addons and put hem in the directory but the game doesn't recognise them.

So the game created a directory:
C:\Users\Tartrazine\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns
(actually Documents is navigated to as 'My Documents')
Into this I downloaded and unzipped 8 addons from the esoui.com site.
The game didn't recognise any of these, even selecting the 'Allow out of date addons' box.

I then downloaded Minion. This found ESO was installed, and through Minion I selected some addons, clicking install. When I clicked on each to install, it downloaded and Minion told me they were installed.

However they are still not recognised in game. I reloaded Minion and it failed to load, stuck on the addons.

Next I looked at the minion xml file and it was pointing to users\public so I copied the addons directory structure to users\public. The game doesn't recognise this either.

Does anyone have any ideas why it's not working? The game itself was installed to a different drive, not C: if that might make a difference...

    What is the path to the .txt file for an addon? Perhaps you created an extra folder named after the .zip file when you extracted them.

    Hi. Thanks, you solved it, it looks like the game must have the text file only 1 folder in. SO I had:

    C:\Users\Tartrazine\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns\1398035799-FTC_026\FoundryTacticalCombat\FoundryTacticalCombat.txt

    C:\Users\Tartrazine\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns\Alchemist_008\Alchemist\Alchemist.txt

    etc., and moving everything out of the folder it comes in solves it so:

    C:\Users\Tartrazine\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns\FoundryTacticalCombat\FoundryTacticalCombat.txt

    C:\Users\Tartrazine\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\AddOns
    \Alchemist\Alchemist.txt

    etc works.

    Many thanks :D
