Add-on not showing up in Blender 2.82 Today, I downloaded Blender 2.82 and attempted to install an add-on that would allow me to export models in a format compatible with the program MikuMikuDance (MMD for short). After doing my research, I attempted to install the add-on while all the files were in a ZIP folder. However, no matter what I try - changing the add-on directory in the Preferences, getting rid of excess dots in file names - the add-on won't show up even though a message indicates it was successfully installed. I've tried looking at other questions regarding similar issues, but nothing seems to help, and I'm at the end of my rope here.
(I don't have the reputation to comment this: Powroupi's latest version of Blender MMD Tools works through version 2.90 (my version). Download it here.)
As mentioned by Kisracora, the plugin needs to be unzipped before the mmd_tools folder can be inserted into the addons folder. (If you're on Windows, you can simply enter the zip folder without unzipping and click-drag the mmd_tools folder in.) If doing that and enabling the plugin in Blender DOESN'T get it to show up, you may want to try rightclick &gt; Properties &gt; Unblock the zip (checkbox near the bottom of the Properties window).
