Make sure that you open the FGU data folder by clicking on the folder button on the FGU launch screen. The location will actually vary, depending on the Channel setting.
For example, I see that you have the data folder in a custom location on your hard drive. Clicking on the button will also make sure that the overall settings are pointing to the same place you are loading the extensions.

I think you need to direct your queries to the extension author. As far as I can see from your screenshots the extensions should load. But if they are not even showing up to select then something is wrong with the extension; either in the code or in the compression.
If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

Actually, that completely points to something wrong with the extension. People make mistakes all the time - package something wrong, make a mistake copying, etc.. If one of fifteen extensions from the same author doesn't work then it's pointing to something with that extension.
As a side note - I notice you have your FG data stored on OneDrive. It is *strongly* recommended that you don't do this with your FG live data. It's probably not causing your issue with extensions, but we have had many issues over the years where people have had issues with live FG data not saving correctly because FG and the file sync application contest the file. In the best case you may lose a little bit of data that you don't notice, or FG recovers from; in the worst case people have lost whole session or days worth of preparation data. You may have been lucky so far and not noticed any issue, but sooner or later you may lose some data.Last edited by Trenloe; April 9th, 2021 at 21:05.

The CAE - Generic Token Swapper is for Rulesets OTHER THAN 5th Edition D&D, which you can read more directions for using CAE in the CAE instructions module or the Readme file for that extension. So, if you are loading 5E campaigns, you will NOT be able to select that extension.
As for the others, I'm unsure. Hope you are able to get that sorted!Please feel free to call me Robyn. (I can't change my username here)

I did check the authors' OPs about the extensions and read to the end, and nothing has come up. Thankfully none of them is mission-critical for tonight, but I found it odd that these extensions would decide not to work. I have contacted all three authors and hope they can find whatever is in common.
As to the OneDrive, it was set up so I could transfer between my gaming computer and my tablet. As I can no longer use my tablet, I can definitely move things off the OneDrive. Thank you for the head's up.I know enough to know that I don't know it all!

I redownloaded CA and AT to check, and it appeared in my extensions list, so it's not that the extensions are zipped wrong, but I'm not sure what it could be.
Generic Token swapper doesn't show up for 5E. Try making a CoreRPG game and it'll show up there.

Aside from potential problems with OneNote, as mentioned, another possibility would be a duplicate copy of the 5E ruleset being present, which I've seen cause problems in the past.
