just an information

i have a question, probably stupid but since i don't know the answer i think would be more stupid not asking

how do i download mods from steam ??  i don't mean how to subscribe to mods, that i could do if i wanted...  but i'm using MO, so my mods are not supposed to go into the data folder but need to be added through MO... how do i do that for mods from steam community ??

Thanks

thanks but in that page couldn't find anything about downloading mods from steam

it's mainly about installing mods manually or with NMM...  i'm using MO, but i don't have problems INSTALLING mod, provided somehow i can get the files to install...  i have no problems download files from here, Loverslab, Nexus and many other sites...  but i don't know how to DOWNLOAD mods from Steam, i can only SUBSCRIBE to them...  but in that way they go into the DATA folder and that's not good using MO...  but i think i found the answer myself here :

but didn't try yet

What the hell ?

I submitted this earlier but some reason it didn't upload.. ? I was in a hurry however.. so that might be the case.

You don't really download mods form steam like Nexus or LL or here, you 'subscibe" them to your Skyrim playthrough. So you don't get the Mesh/Texture etc files. I think that's your question.

I believe the desire was to control the mods just like all the other mods.. through MO not have Steam dump them into the data folder. The  way Steam does it there is little control over the files in MO. Can't work the files like you can when controlled with MO.

The  video I linked earlier (sorry guess I didn't reply like I thought I did when I read this post earlier.) gives instructions to have MO do the downloading and the file ends up in the Overwrite folder and then a mod can be made out of it.

thanks RC, but as you can see i found the same video 4 hours before you actually posted it

anyway, yes...  the idea was how to manage the steam-mods from MO, adding them just to a profile and not to others...

So sorry. I checked to see if anything off was happening on the site. (spam post etc) saw your post and knew of that video. I thought I hit submit but guess I didn't .. so sorry. I tried

Anyway it looks like you got the info you needed to handle your question yourself ... you go

no need to be sorry   things that happen...  and it's fine when stop being lazy and start looking for solutions by myself

So true, So true
