A shame, particularly considering how much success SimCity 4 had with mods.As many people on here have lamented, there are a lot of mods that are, for one reason or another, only available on Steam workshop, with no other downloads from other places such as Nexus.Īfter much searching, I've found a way to download these without requiring Steam (or a Steam account)!ġ) Locate the page of the mod on Steam WorkshopĢ) Copy the URL of the mod from your browser (should look similar to this one here for Yakuza Legacy: searchtext=)Ĥ) Paste the URL you copied into the text box (above the "Download" button)ĥ) Push the "Download" button (might take a while to appear).Ħ) When it's ready, push the "Start Download" link. Even aside from the Steam aspect, many major publishers have traditionally been a little wary of heavily associating themselves with mods because of potential legal issues, so it’s possible that the Workshop will largely be populated with a plethora of independent games. It’s true that all three of those are EA products, but it’s a dangerous sign that some of the titles most likely to get a boost from user-generated content are highly unlikely to use this new, user-friendly service. The new SimCity, which is reportedly likely to gain mod support sometime after launch, is unlikely to support Steam Workshop simply because, as an ea game, it’s unlikely to turn up on Steam. The same goes for The Sims 3, which is still going strong. Dragon Age: Origins has a sizeable modding community, despite the game’s lack of direct support for mods, but – age notwithstanding – I’d be surprised if it ever turned up on there. Second: this is a problem, because there are publishers out there which would doubtless rather focus on their own digital distribution platforms than give you a reason to shop on Steam.
