Managing Addons
Download and install the Minion program to make installing and managing add-ons easy. The “Install” tab tells you which ones you have installed and lets you update them, and the “Find More” one lets you search for and install new ones. Also, make sure you turn on “Allow out of date addons” in the addons menu in-game for some of these to work. Also, you will have to reposition a few things to put them where you want.
