First of all, I'm sorry because I'm sure this question has been mulled over a million times, but now that the subreddit is private I obviously can't find the discussions.

So, steam mods. Which websites you'd recommend for downloading them?

Out of those listed there:

ggntw

Works only for select mods for select games.

Steamworkshop.download

Didn't work.

steam-workshop-downloader. com

Didn't work.

Workshop Downloader

Damn, thanks for reporting. We'll remove the ones not working after checking again.

Some do work in general, but only for select mods, not the ones I want. Will edit the reply. Sorry for the confusion.

Ah okay thanks for clarifying

In the meantime, I also found skymods.ru but it only supports Cities: Skylines, Stellaris and Hearts of Iron IV.

I suppose the short-term solution would be to:

  • Buy the game on Steam

  • Download mods

  • Paste them to your pirated game

  • Leave the game running for a little under 2h so that Steam doesn't become suspicious

  • Refund it

However it's kinda inconvienent and you risk Steam refusing your refunds at some point.

There is a site with the same name but different url smods.ru, i've been using it to download mods. There're about 200 games listed in https://catalogue.smods.ru/
