World of Warcraft Various Guides - Addons and Addon Installation Guides
Addons, also known as “User Interface Modifications” or “U.I. Mods” are additions to World of Warcraft that change the interface and improve upon it, add additional features, and implement new ways for you to interact with WoW. Many of them are useful and provide an improvement in gameplay, many improve how the interface looks, while others simply improve on performance. We’re going to take a good look at what Addons do and how you can install them.
There are several databases online, but the two I like the most are Curse and WoW Interface. Both sites contain the majority of WoW addons out there and have sortable lists of what’s available. Ten Ton Hammer also has an extensive list of AddOn reviews to help give you a better idea of what some of them do, and whether or not they’re worth the effort of installing. We’ve included a list of some of our top picks towards the end of this guide, so be sure to check them out.
There are thousands of available addons out there and it’s nearly impossible to give you instructions for each addon. However, you should always refer to an addon’s page on its respective database for additional instructions on using or configuring it. Many addons also have their options available in the Interface section of your game menu under “Addons.”
