correct at upload mods are validated, however if a mod is already on Steam and don't have a compatibility line in the manifest, in a newer game version it appears as valid which is very likely to be false and crash the game and the user is blind here.Īmong other advantages of non-Steam mods: you can repack the mod with higher compression to gain space and this works for any file except for Sounds (Steam mods are not always using this advantage). with the correct addblockers it should be safe (Sharemods), also some users upload their mods on Google Driveĥ. this has its downgrade because a large mod (like a 500 Mb truck) with versions for 1-2 game versions will double/triple its size on your driveĤ.

the problem here is that an update of a Steam mod can ruin another mod (for example if the author of a truck mod decide to replace/remove a chassis for a truck, it will ruin your physics mod)ģ. correct, but only if the author is maintaining the mods compatible with new game version.

this is true, updating is easier and silent for user, nevertheless too many large workshop mods can fill in your drive, which can be problematic if you have mods on a SSD since you don't know what is downloaded.Ģ. I see that SiSL gave already the positive aspects of the Steam workshop mods, now the dark side of these for the first 5 pointsġ.

Why wont steam workshop download
