[Console] Add-Ons Install themselves every time I log on since U47

KinzokuRyu · September 2025

As the title says... I play on PS5 and before U47 i tried several of the add-ons and over time i uninstalled a few that i didn't care for or want anymore for various reasons... for Example Votan's Minimap I tried because everyone was talking about it and decided i didn't like how cluttered it made my screen feel and i never even used it when i had it installed, i uninstalled that add-on a long time ago...And it Re-installs itself every time i Log on. same for market tracker, tried it a while back and uninstalled in favor of TSC... it Re-installs itself every log on... i have to Uninstall like 5-6 Add-ons every time I log on.
Would be nice if anyone knows how to fix this so i no longer have to uninstall add-ons just to play the game every time i log on. thanks!

did you delete your Save Data for ESO and delete the add-ons' Saved Variables?
i have not had this problem but i assume that could help.

There are some existing threads already discussing a similar issue and offering solutions.

1. mods.bethesda.net

TLDR: sign in to mods.bethesda.net, navigate to ESO mods, click on Library, and unsubscribe every add-on appearing on that page (Library).

2. If you are playing on alt accounts, each account saves a separate list of add-ons assigned to be auto-installed / auto-uninstalled if they were found mismatching when account switching. This effected via mods.bethesda.net AND a background server save managed by ZOS (note: this is not PSN plus cloud). Library tab on mods.bethesda.net can be empty and the server save will continue to dictate the list of installed Add-Ons.

TDLR: same as #1 above, and additionally ensure that all Add-Ons are manually re-installed / removed to be exactly + fully matching across every alt account running ESO. This avoids any auto-uninstalls / re-installs when the game “phones home” to sychronize the list of installed Add-On. Whether they are Enabled / Disabled does not matter, details on this mechnism is described within the link.

It would appear that you can safely bookmark mods in your bethesda.net account, making it easier to find them again should you need to. I think the sync only happens if a mod is actually subscribed/in library on either end (mods website/platform account & client).

no alt accounts at all i only have my one, and i never subscribed or even used mods website. =/

Are you also using the PS cloud backup system? IIRC from what others have said, after making sure everything is removed from your local disk and the bethesda.net mods site, you also have to make sure it's not still lurking on the cloud and getting restored from there as well. If it's not, and you sync from cloud to local, you're effectively restoring the add-on.

I turned PS cloud sync off month or so ago after Uninstalling ESO entirely then Reinstalling everything and now I only use local save for ESO because mods where having issues with the cloud saves before, I was having no issues at all till U47 update lol
