A shame, particularly considering how much success SimCity 4 had with mods. 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. The folder stores all the mods that your PC can download. 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. To install mods from Steam, open the Workshop folder on your PC.

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. As the steam workshop downloader is unusable now is there any other good way to download mods from steam workshop Beside that old steam workshop downloader site because that doesnt seem to work for me.
