So I've followed the Reddit thread as best as I could, and my addon seems to have everything in order, but it doesn't actually show up on the launcher's addon menu. I've downloaded a few other people's addons, but I couldn't find anything that different between mine and theirs. :/

Would anyone be willing to double-check my 7z folder to see what I'm doing wrong...? (mediafire link)
As the name suggests, the files the addon would replace are just some stage textures.

I haven't had time to check out the 7z yet but here's a few questions. When you made the 7z did you make it a non-solid archive and did you update your launcher to v1.11? Those are things I've heard most people commonly mess up on.

What makes the archiving non-solid, as opposed to what other types?

When I archived my 7z folder, the only options I set were for the folder type (7z, instead of .zip), and to ultra compress. I left the other options as defaulted, since the ultra compression changed several of them and all the tutorials I looked up left those alone lol. This may or may not be it, depending on what non- solid archiving means...

My launcher has been updated, yup. I'm aware that some people have to drag and drop the 7z launcher update into the launcher --> updates folder via computer, but I updated my launcher manually from the launcher in-game and it says it's up-to-date. I suppose I'll try this out anyhow, but I don't see why this would be the cause since I am able to view other peoples' addons...just not mine (I'm assuming the issue here is something on my addon, not the launcher).

One thing that may be of interest that I've found was that my info.xml file doesn't have a "packaged size" listed (viewable from 7z manager), but the info.xml files from all the other addons I've tried out do. No idea why mine won't display a packaged size, but given that the info.xml is what the launcher used to read the addon, I'm guessing this is a hint lol...

bump? still having this issue, and I'm sure at least some people on the PM Custom Content boards have figured out how to use addons by now...
