To install addons manually in you first need to download the addons you want. By far the biggest database for ESO addons is esoui.com. Once you have downloaded your addons, place them in the ESO addon folder. The default location for the addon folder is: C:Users.YOUR USERNAME.DocumentsElder Scrolls OnlineliveAddOns. Good question @FloppybelDunsi, I would guess that we won't be able to use Addons for ESO on Stadia. The reason is pretty simple, on PC we are installing the game on the PC in a specific folder and when we download addons, those will be (either manually or via Minion) unpacked in the Addon-Folder of the game. The addon downloads as a ZIP file, just extract if to some folder, and go to Elder Scrolls Onlineliveaddons and move the extracted contents to a folder there. But yeah, I agree that the simplest way of handling addons is to use Minion. Edited by leeux on February 10, 2017 1:53AM.

ESO add ons aren't like other MMOs. Most of them are QoL changes like map and mini map stuff. The more intense players will use UI add-ons but those aren't required at any point. I never used any on PC and cleared end game stuff. Same on console not using any at all.

When add-ons for The Elder Scrolls Online are correctly installed on a computer, they will appear in the Add-Ons submenu. Players can access the Add-Ons submenu through the main game menu that appears on the left side of the character selection screen or by pressing the Esc key during gameplay.

The Add-Ons submenu allows players to check or uncheck the boxes next to the add-ons they wish to enable or disable. This submenu also provides the ability to quickly reload the UI in order to ensure that the game correctly applies add-on settings and changes. In addition, players can select whether or not to permit the use of add-ons which are listed as being out of date.

Since add-ons are not our product, we cannot offer customer support for them, but the ESOUI Wiki maintains an Add-On Quick Questions list that includes installation instructions for both PC and Mac.

Where To Put Addons Eso

Add-ons are extremely helpful in-game. While some games have banned add-ons (or mods), others openly embrace the modder community. Elder Scrolls Online is one such game.

In ESO, installing and using addons is completely legal and allowed. Adding them to the game is very easy, as you will see below.

Be sure to check out our Elder Scrolls Online starter guide while you are here.

Step 1: Download Add-ons

There are lots of sites dedicated to add-ons. Some sites are dedicated by game and others cover a multitude of games. There are some programs out there that can control the add-ons for you (such as the Curse client). You can download it from ESOUI.

Step 2: Extract or Unzip Add-ons

Add-ons come delivered in a zipped file. In order to use them, you will need to unzip them. Windows has a built-in extraction program as long as the file is a .zip. If the folder is saved as a .rar file, you will need to download another program on Windows 7 and earlier. Windows 8 can unzip .rar files.

Files need to be placed in the ESO Add-ons directory that can be found in Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns on your computer. The easiest way to do this is to right-click the file and click extract files.

A new window will pop up that will ask for specifics. Be sure to put the path to the directory in the extract to or location box. Click the dots or browse button to the right to easily find the directory.

Step 3: Activate Add-Ons

The files are easy to activate once you launch the game. In the character screen, there is a menu to the left side. One of the options is Add-Ons. Click on it and you can decide which add-ons to allow.

ESO also allows you to customize which add-ons you use based on character. This option is only available from the character screen. The in-game menu only allows you to turn add-ons off and on based on character logged in.

Step 4: Change Settings (Optional)

The last thing you can do is in-game and that is to change your settings. Placement of add-ons may not be to your liking so they are movable as well as scalable. Some mods also allow you to choose which stuff to show. Using the menu that comes up when you hit the escape key, you can find all add-on settings here.

Some can be moved without loading up these menus. Others you will have to unlock using these menus. Here's a look at how settings look:

Sometimes you may need to temporarily turn off a mod. For example, in Cyrodiil, you can not use the fast transit system while the ZrMiniMap is running. Instead of logging that character out and back in just to disable it, ESO has made it easy by showing the add-ons in-game.

ESO mods are not very intrusive. Some can be very simple as you can see in this view of my screen:

If you don't feel comfortable extracting directly to the folder on your pc, another common way of doing this is to drag and drop the files into the folder after extracting them. Be sure to check out all our Guides and Tips.
