You'd be asking the devs to likely spend quite a bit of time and resources into trying to figure the process and requirements out, which might even be against a contract with Steam. Those sites do not appear to disclose their methods for acquiring mods, and likely have a complicated set of requirements for which games they can and cannot pull mods from. However, I would be incredibly surprised if it's anywhere near as simple as 'flipping a switch'. The Nexus is annoying and a pain to use compared to the Workshop.

Oh, and OMG you're Russian! You must be an evil commie!ДЄs a modder who is commonly requested to upload stuff to the Nexus for non-steam users, I would definitely be in favour of it being possible to download workshop mods without Steam.

Opening up the workshop api is far from an ideal solution, even then - it's a kludgy workaround for a problem which shouldn't exist - but it seems to me that it's both the solution which requires the least effort on anyone's part, and the one which has the greatest chance of both working now and being a long term solution for people looking for other mods in the future (since I'm sure, that even if I contact every mod author on steam, AND they all happen to respond to me AND they actually go to the trouble to upload on nexus or somewhere, there will emerge new mods in the future, from new modders, who will continue doing things the way they are now and only use steam workshop.) However, I have to deal with the fact that steam workshop is popular, and that many mod authors probably don't want to use anything else. It sucks, frankly, that this is a problem at all, and ideally all mod authors would have their mods available somewhere that anyone can access. Lofi opening up the workshop api seems to me to be a much simpler solution all round. I have considered the issue, and again, individually asking mod authors to put their files elsewhere requires me to have a steam account, which I'd rather not create just for that purpose, the mod authors need to respond to me, which I have experience from other games to suggest that very few are likely to do so, and it requires those mod authors that do respond to do extra work that they probably don't want to do in making it available somewhere else. Anecdotal evidence from other games is that steam doesn't mess with mod structure. Thanks for the response, and I'm sure you're right about how easy it is to relocate the mods. I liked the assumption about mere partial location on a russian server may be a potential sign of malware threat though 8)

I think your best bet would really be to contact mod devs and ask them to send you the files, people would hardly dick about it. ItвЂ™s basically the absence of an EXE file that prevents Steam from finding it and adding it to its library.I don't know about other games, but with Kenshi, relocating the mod anywhere is as easy as copy-pasting the folder. This limitation with Microsoft Store games is only there because the games are UWP apps and they have limitations that normal desktop apps donвЂ™t have. Select вЂAdd a non-Steam gameвЂ™ from the menu and select the EXE of the game you want to add.

All you have to do is go to your Steam Library and click the little plus button at the bottom. If you have other games, i.e., non-Microsoft Store games that you want to add to Steam you can do that. From the context menu, select the вЂDelete shortcutвЂ™ option and the game will be gone. Open the app, go to your Library, and right-click the game. If you ever want to remove the app from Steam, itвЂ™s easy.

If you want, you can also set categories for the game. Other than that, there are no other benefits to this. When you add games to Steam, the time you play the game is logged there. When you click the Play button, it will launch the game. If you have Steam running, quit it from the System Tray and then run the app. Click the вЂExport selected apps to SteamвЂ™ button. Run the app and from the list of installed apps, select the game you want to add to Steam.

To add Microsoft Store games on Steam, you need to download and install an app calledВ UWPHook.
