Console Add-On Setups (Tested - No Save Errors)

Hi, after much testing with different combinations of Add-Ons, I have narrowed down some setups that run consistently without triggering the SAVE ERROR. In general, the SAVE ERROR triggers when too many Add-Ons are Enabled, and I've written my thoughts in a thread about the Save Error here (under "Avoid installing too many Add-Ons"). In short, I recommend Enabling ONLY the Add-Ons for the content you are currently doing. E.g. there is no need for Dolgubon's Lazy Writ in Trials/Dungeons, and no need for Fancy Action Bar when doing Crafting / Overland. Less is best.

These are only suggestions and you may swap out some entries for others if you prefer them. You may also use any lesser-numbers of the mentioned Add-Ons as they do not conflict with others within the setup. There are so many possible combinations - these setups are not set in stone - if any start to break, then it may require removal/replacement of some Add-Ons causing the problem (maybe due to an Update).

Please do add your own tested, working, no SAVE ERROR setups to this thread for others to try out, while we wait for an official fix to the SAVE ERROR.

NOTE: When switching between Add-On setups, Download the old PS Cloud Save and overwrite the newest one (Download from Cloud Storage to Console Storage). This allows the next setup to be batch loaded (all 7, 8, 10 or 11 Add-Ons simultaneously Enabled all-at-once, without SAVE ERROR, and without needing to Enable them sequentially one-by-one), built off the old 'clean' Save file. Refer to this thread, following the general outline of steps described by msetten in "Preliminary Procedure" and "Save Error Occurred". If you have PS+, use Cloud Save to your advantage and shorten the steps to get back to the 'clean' state.

- Attempts to Enable a 12th Add-On results in SAVE ERROR
- Switching in-game between 11a and 11b WILL trigger the SAVE ERROR.


For New Character Dolmen Farming (8 Add-Ons)
- This list provides tools to run Dolmens on New Characters, map icons will help in location discovery.
1. A MOR Automated Invite
2. AutoRechargeAndRepair
3. Bag Space Indicator
4. Murf's Lorebooks
5. Sound Fix
6. Stay Mounted
7. Votan's MiniMap
8. Zone Map Icons
- Attempts to Enable a 9th Add-On results in SAVE ERROR


For Crafting / Trading (7 Add-Ons)
- This list provides tools focused solely on crafting and trading within a single location (hence no map Add-Ons).
1. Bag Space Indicator
2. Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter
3. Lazy Confirm
4. Lazy Horse Trainer
5. Market Tracker
6. Sound Fix
7. Writ Cost Calculator


For Dungeons / Trials v1 (10 Add-Ons)
- This list maximizes visibility on Mechanics, at the expense of skill/gear/build swap Add-Ons.
1. Am I Blocking +
2. ArmoryRoleSwitcher
3. AutoBind
4. AutoRechargeAndRepair
5. CrutchAlerts
6. Fancy Action Bar +
7. Simple Off Balance
8. Sound Fix
9. Votan's Minimap
10a. HarvestMap, OR
10b. Artaeum Group Tool, OR
10c. Asylum Timers
- Attempts to Enable an 11th Add-On results in SAVE ERROR
- Switching in-game between 10b and 10c DID NOT trigger the SAVE ERROR.
- Switching in-game between 10a and 10b OR 10c WILL trigger the SAVE ERROR.


For Dungeons / Trials v2 (7 Add-Ons)
- This list maximizes options on skill/gear/build swap Add-Ons, with less visibility on Mechanics.
1. Am I Blocking +
2. AutoBind
3. AutoRechargeAndRepair
4. CrutchAlerts
5. Fancy Action Bar +
6. Simple Off Balance
7a. Wizard's Wardrobe, OR
7b. Natey's Armory
- Attempts to Enable an 8th Add-On results in SAVE ERROR
- Switching in-game between 7a and 7b DID NOT trigger the SAVE ERROR.


(Next for testing will be whether I can safely save single Add-On settings (eg. Minimap, Fancy Action Bar+), one-by-one into a baseline PS Cloud Save file, and use that to batch-Enable Add-On setups. This will save a lot of Add-On config time if it doesn't trigger SAVE ERRORs).

Edit: changed 'Attemtps to Install...' to 'Attempts to Enable...' . Add-Ons were already pre-installed and test method was by batch-Enabling or sequential-Enabling Add-Ons.

    My standard setup for crafting, doing zone dailies, and running around.
    The first 6 I have enabled in the save file. The ones after that are disabled, and only enabled when I need them.
      [*] Auto Repair and Recharge
      [*] Autobind Uncollected
      [*] Dolgubon's Lazy Writ
      [*] Fancy Action Bar +
      [*] stay mounted
      [*] Votan's minimap

      [*] CrutchAlerts
      [*] Eyes of the Undaunted
      [*] Map of many Riches
      [*] Murf's Lorebooks
      [*] Murf's Skyshards
      [*] Murf's Treasures

      I'm working on adding more in the disabled catagory, specifically HarvestMap. In the spoiler is an image that includes the various sizes of the add-ons, and what libraries they need. It's complicated by having an account w/o ESO+, which gets the save error much sooner than my ESO+ account does.

      Libraries are in blue, I only list them in the main column once to give a space to list their size. Sizes from Bethesda's page.

      And on whether I could safely save single Add-On settings (eg. Minimap, Fancy Action Bar+), one-by-one into a baseline PS Cloud Save file, and use that to batch-Enable Add-On setups ?

      No. I could not. Each Add-On's settings individually, and cumulatively save into the Save File, ultimately corrupting it when it gets "full", with something, IDK what (number of configs, memory, a combination of both, or something unknown).

      This affects any sets-ups mentioned earlier (above) that includes Market Tracker.

      Market Tracker v2.1.2 seems to be a consistent cause of the Save Error.

      Steps to replicate error (PS5):
      1. Restore a clean Save File from PS cloud, or delete local Save File and restart game.
      2. Accept Add-On EULA, Enable only Market Tracker v2.1.2 and all required dependencies (Market Tracker Data Loader, LibText), and nothing else.
      3. Load any character.
      4. Force-trigger Auto Save by Enter-Exit two times via any sub-Options page (Video, Audio, etc), or if force-trigger fails (false save success), wait a few seconds for the Save Error to appear.

      Solution:
      1. Disable this Add-On to avoid it, or
      2. Enable this Add-On, but upon getting the Save Error message, choose (O) No to stop attempts to Auto Save and continue playing without saves. (game is still functional, with settings fixed as per the last error-free save. Difference in that new settings will not be saved).
