Downloading Steam Workshop Mods Without An Account or The Steam Client

I'll attach the program below as well in case for whatever fucking reason they pull the download. Works on Windows 7. Haven't tried Linux yet. Just paste the workshop file URL into the 3rd dialog box, hit Auto-find home page or whatever, and then hit Download. The Auto-find button may be greyed out for some reason when it appears. Just ignore this and click it anyway. The program can do a lot more than that as well, but you can figure all that stuff out for yourself I'm sure. You're big boys and girls. Also keep in mind, of course, you'll need to place the files downloaded into the appropriate directory of your game.

If this is old news for everyone, I apologize. I'm much more saving this for future reference than anything.

(DO NOT TRUST ATTACHMENTS BY DEFAULT. Use VirusTotal at least to quickly scan the files.)

As I understand it, it won't allow you to download every games mods, since Valve restricted access. https://old.reddit.com/r/swd_io/comments/uy55qg/we_are_no_longer_serving_any_files_through_our/ .. So unless you have a steamDRM account, or the game allows this download through the steamworkshop system. In that case, you could just as well use the OG: https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/ or any of the alternatives: http://steamworkshop.download/ & https://ggntw.com/steam ..Though you'd still be supporting steamDRM's monopoly situation. They also remove non-woke mods, as do Nexus and ModDB. Much better to use any of the alternative mod sites like https://rentry.org/Non-NewtonianMods & https://schaken-mods.com/ & https://rpghq.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=26-game-mods-tweaks & https://moddinghaven.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page & https://modhq.org/ & https://basedmods.eth.limo/browse/ & https://www.playground.ru/

Keep in mind, the downloader I linked allows you to use different download providers to download the file. SteamCMD is the default and is the officially supported (by Steam) method. It works for the majority of cases, but for those few games that don't allow it, you can use a different download provider like the SteamWebAPI or the Nether API.
