If you're really dead-set on modding a game with workshop files, consider checking a place like ITAD or gg.deals for a good price on a Steam copy of your game. There are places that mirror workshop items, but I would be leery of downloading anything executable from them. Once downloaded, you should be able to use the mods as you wish - such as moving them to your GOG installation directory.

You can however explore other mod websites, such as: If you do not own the game for which you are trying to download mods and the publisher has not allowed downloads, then this operation will error out cryptically. To download a workshop mod, run workshop_download_item where AppId is the depot of whatever game you want to download mods for and WorkshopId is the ID of the workshop item you wish to download. To override this behaviour, run force_install_dir within the steamcmd terminal, for example I would use force_install_dir H:\Games\StellarisMods\. Use login anonymous or login from within the steamcmd terminal to do this.īy default, files will be downloaded under steamcmd's directory to somewhere like. You will need to log in either as an anonymous or authenticated user depending on whether or not game ownership is required to download workshop content. You can run the tool directly or from another terminal like cygwin or cmd. Download steamcmd which is Valve's official command-line tool for running dedicated game servers and mods.
