So Dolby, what you're saying is if Minion is not detecting an addon that was downloaded outside of minion, I can just install it through minion and it won't mess with any of the settings for the addon? Without uninstalling/deleting the folder that the addon is currently in?

I'm having this problem with about 7 of my addons (out of 12) and JUST got finished setting them all up in game and then I found Minion. I really don't want to have to do all that over again.

Thanks!
Yes that is correct. AddOns save their settings in a different folder that Minion doesn't touch. AddOn settings are in the SavedVariables folder located in C:\Users\<windows user name\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables . Infact AddOns are not allowed to write to their own AddOn folder. Only to their SavedVariable file that is stored in a different location.

That is why if your having a problem with an AddOn just re-installing the AddOn doesnt fix it. Usually its something wrong in the SavedVariable file.
