○ Firstly, either you can go to this website http://www.esoui.com/addons.php to find AddOns which you like and download them, or you can choose from the list that I have mentioned below.



○ Secondly, select the mod you like and download it.



○ Thirdly, you will see a compressed file on your desktop or wherever you choose to download the file.




○ Right click on the compressed item and click "Extract here". Clicking this will extract the compressed file and give you a folder. You can then delete the compressed file as it is useless. The folder you want to keep will look something like this:

○ Finally, if you are in-game you will have to restart it in order for it to detect the AddOns. Just launch your game and go into the AddOn options to enable or disable them anytime you want!




○ You can also go into the advanced AddOn settings and modify it per your liking.
