come on pirates get up your game I want my fucking mods especially since valve has no fucking right to content people are fucking making for free
steamworkshop.download sucks ass and continues to serve old versions or, in the case of an older version of the mod I want which was uploaded, literally just doesn't download anything (it just says some bullshit about free space instead of giving a download link)
I can't do it the "legit way" because I don't have 10000 fucking dollars to spend on Europa Universalis and all its bullshit DLCs that the mod I wanna play FUCKING NEEDS
EUIV goes on sale for 4$ periodically. After workshopdownloader.io stopped working, I just bought the base game and then was able to transfer all the mods that get downloaded from the steam mod folder over to the pirated game mod directory.
It's not perfect, but it works.
