However still with this change it is neither working or showing up in /loadui command.


Only thing i can now think to do is to uninstall the game and clean install and re-download the patches and try again.

I will let you know on my progress and if it works and whatever i can nail the problem down to on my side for future reference by anyone else who maybe having a similiar problem somehow in the future.
NO you dont need to uninstall the game.
eq2.ini does need to be in
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\eq2.ini just like that.
Try this.
it's also Case sensative.
the UI will load when you start the game, there is no need to use the /loadui command, and it will not show anything at all unless there is a skininfo file.

try the instructions that I posted.
Go ahead and name the directory 'Custom'
So you will have this.

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Custom
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eq2.ini

Inside the eq2.ini it will have
cl_ui_subdir UI/
cl_ui_skinname Custom

The .XML files will be in the folder like this.
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Custom\*.xml

If there are images with the Mod than you will need a directory like this
C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\Custom\images\*.dds

the *.xml and *.dds will be the file names.

This is of course assuming that your EverQuest Game is installed on the C: drive.
if you hae it on another drive it needs to be on the drive the game is installed on. Not C:

the eq2.ini file points to a directory, not a specific mod.
