The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) has a vibrant modding community, though it's more limited compared to single-player Elder Scrolls games like Skyrim due to ESO being an MMORPG. Heres what you need to know about ESO mods (called "addons"): What Are ESO Addons? Addons are player-created modifications that enhance the UI, provide quality-of-life improvements, or add new functionality. Unlike Skyrim mods, ESO addons cannot alter game mechanics, graphics, or add new quests/items (due to server-side restrictions). They are written in Lua and use ESO's API. Where to Get ESO Addons? ESOUI The main hub for ESO addons (similar to Nexus Mods for Skyrim). Minion A popular addon manager that automatically downloads and updates ESO mods. Popular ESO Addons Category Addon Name Description UI Improvements Dark UI A sleek, dark-themed interface. Map & Navigation Map Pins Adds detailed markers for skyshards, lorebooks, etc. Combat & Skills Combat Metrics Tracks DPS, healing, and combat stats. Crafting Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter Automates daily crafting writs. Inventory Management Inventory Insight Searches all characters/banks for items. Trading & Economy Tamriel Trade Centre (TTC) Displays price estimates for guild traders. Questing Quest Map Shows quest locations on the map. Housing Essential Housing Tools Improves furniture placement. How to Install ESO Addons? Download the addon from ESOUI or use Minion. Extract the addon folder (if manual download). Place it in: DocumentsElder Scrolls OnlineliveAddOns (Windows) Users/[Username]/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns (Mac) Enable in-game via: Settings > AddOns (check "Allow out-of-date addons" if needed). Are Addons Safe/Bannable? Yes, most addons are safe and widely used. No, Zenimax does not ban for addons unless they automate gameplay (botting). Avoid cheat-like addons (e.g., auto-aim, speed hacks). Limitations of ESO Addons Cannot modify game world (no new NPCs, dungeons, or textures). Cannot automate combat (macros/bots are bannable). Some addons break after major updates (check for updates on ESOUI). Alternatives to Addons ESO Plus (official subscription) offers some QoL features (craft bag). Console Players: No addons, but some UI improvements exist in-game. Conclusion ESO addons greatly improve gameplay without breaking rules. For the best experience, use Minion to manage them and check ESOUI for updates. Would you like recommendations for a specific playstyle (e.g., PvP, crafting, RP)?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
