Reloaded EQ but when I tried to load custom UI , it wasn't listed in game under Options, Load UI skin. I even tried copying and pasting default UI and renaming it "test" but it would not list either. Someone please help, want to install and old-school UI with old gems, will quit EQ if I can't get it working

As you say you did a copy of default, and that dosn't show It's either installed twice, or one of the expansions installed in a different location. Check you drive(s) m8 Wolf

Make sure you have no spaces or special characters in the renamed UI
