Minion is a bloody pain for NOT working!!

Thank you so very much for this video! Followed your instructions and I finally have my addons!! Great work!

Thank you so much. After fighting with OneDrive, trying to stop it from co-opting my game, pausing it and finally deleting it. Then deleting and reinstalling ESO and Minion 3 times. I still couldn't seem to find the right folder to put the Addons into so that they would work. I finally stopped trying to put the game on my other drive and let it install where it wanted. But I still couldn't find the right 'live' folder to put the addons. I decided to watch your video, even though I'd been over and over various chat boards trying to figure this out. Your video solved the problem 7 minutes in. Even though the installation said it was going into 'program files' I didn't realize part of it would still go into 'documents'. Anyway, thank you very much for the help!!

Logging in as administrator helped. Thank you.

Very helpful video. I haven't played ESO yet, I'm actually waiting for the download and installation to complete. After watching this I went to your main page to check out your playlists...I may be here a while! 👍😎 New Sub.

thanks so much man! That Minion was a pain, until I did what you said, and just let him scan all my drives. Even so, it didn't saw ESO but it did recognized when I had one addon in the addon folder.

Thanks for the vid!

Thank you. This is a huge help

installed minion, choosed addon folder and there just empty window

That was really helpful! can you do a video about how to set up Daybreak addon right ?

Hey, so my copy of ESO on PC is on my extended 1TB harddrive. Would that affect my add ons not coming through to the add on settings? Also there is no check box for selecting "use out of date add ons" in the add on section. I'm really confused... if there is any solution to making this work that would be great. Thank you.

i downloaded minion and few basic addons , when i start the game i click the addon option and turn them on in game however they are not working , even after restarting the ui

My skills bar is at top of the screen and not at the bottom, why? My mini map is at the top far right and not in the middle right why when I addon using minions? Help

i dont have in the game at addons the option "allow out dated add-ons". what do i do?

Just a sidenote because you said you do not need to reopen the game and a reload is enough. This goes for most addons, but not for those with a media-folder in the structure, because you need to load this files while you open the game. if you only do a reload you wont be able to see some visual elements of the addon. Besides that - thank you for showing BeamMeUp, are you still using it or did you only use it to show the way of installation?

Just wondering I'm my minon on desktop there are no add on but when I get in game all of my add-ons are still installed but I can't update them cuz they don't show up in minon

can you help me my screen on mine does not show allow out of date add ons and it does not have an add on section in settings, what is wrong, did i do something i am just starting in pc,

i don't have any add on's installed but when i opened minion it was completly blank. i didn't have the option to find more or anything i could just click the + sign but it did not do anything after i found my AddOn folder. do i need to have some of them already downloaded individually or how does it work? literally i cannot do anything with minion atm. do you have any advice?

Minion is not updating the dependencies :/

i dont see the allow out of date add ons option

I installed minion and did not work although I did install it this time round on nvme drive with then game everything works until I get in game and add-ons don't show .....

anyone got a link to the website?

Been looking everywhere and I cant find a fix for my issue. I do not have the option to check or uncheck that box its just not there for me :(

i tried the manual + minion method. it doesnt load my addons in my game. my addon folder by default is C:\ProgramData\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns. i can see the addons in this folder but still ingame i see nothing.

i have minion chose the folder under documents where my addon folder is for ESO and yet it doesnt discover my addons for the game just keeps asking me to chose the addon folder constantly

I can't get mines to work

Minion doesn't update addons anymore

Sadly Ps4 doesnt have Addons, dont even know how i can Play without them xD

Damn this sexy voice

hot voice

yea but how the fuck do i do it from steam

Its fun to code addons :'(

i have officially gone thru now 13 videos and every fkn forum post i can find and i still cannot figure out why the fuck shit is not showing up in my in game addons folder. ive done every fucking fix imaginable and probably damn near broken my computer in the meantine. this shits fucking stupid, 2 years ago this shit was 2 clicks of a button and done easy as that. why the fuck is shit so stupidly complicated nowadays

I loath minion...absolutely hate it.

Sorry but minion is shit it has issues opening is not friendly to new users

God bless y’all I love y’all but Jesus loves y’all more have a God blessed day and night also repent and turn to Jesus before it’s to late also thanks for the tutorial!!!!!

minion is total shit, worst software i ever had to deal with, just install manually and save yourself the headache of dealing with that piece of garbage.

when i select the folder ( thispc/doc./eso/live/addOns) it doesn't work i tried just selecting it & going in the folder and selecting it
