Steam Workshop Downloader It doesn't matter if you're 9 or 99, it doesn't get easier than this! This site was created at 145 BPM using rainbow energy and coke. The Steam Workshop has always been a great place for discovering community-made mods, maps, and items for a variety of games. Starting now with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Workshop is also a great place for community content creators to earn money by selling their greatest works.
Steam Workshop DownloaderI found this site awhile ago.
If you hate using Steam Workshop to install and download mods, just copy the workshop URL to this site and you'll get a download link.
No more subscribing to mods and using the Skyrim launcher to download them! Works with other games, too.
edit: Doesn't appear to work with Skyrim mods that have an ESP/ESM and a BSA though. It will download the BSA as a file named 'download.' Also, Steam apparently adds four bytes to BSA file header that need to be deleted. But the site works for Civilization: Beyond Earth mods which are just plain 7/zipped archives!

Hey guys, I've been seeing quite a few people asking if there's anyway to accomplish this. So I figured i would write how to get it done here for anyone that wants to do it.
First step is to download SteamCMD. This is a tool generally used to host/Update dedicated servers. Though for this we can use it download mods, too.
Here's the official link for SteamCMD. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Downloading_SteamCMD
After it's downloaded and extracted go ahead and run SteamCMD.exe. This will pull up a command prompt window that looks like this. https://i.imgur.com/oDFjpBV.png
Here's where we actually get to download the mods.
In the SteamCMD window type 'login anonymous' without the quotes. If done properly you'll see the following.
Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...Logged in OK Waiting for user info...OK
Now that we have logged in it's time to lookup Divinity 2 Original Sin on https://steamdb.info/ so we can find the AppID of the game. This ID changes every time the game is updated so you'll have to re look it up whenever there is an update.
As of right now the current AppID is 435150.
The next thing we do is lookup the mod that we want to get off of steam. Let's head on over to the steam website to find a mod we want. https://steamcommunity.com/app/435150/workshop/
Say we want a newer mod that's only on the steam workshop. Let's get 'Tempest Class (New Spear Skills)', which we can find here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1140405351&searchtext=.
In the link above you'll notice that there is a section called 'id=1140405351' in the url. We only want to focus on the numbers here, though. This is what we'll use in SteamCmd.
So as of now we have the two main bits of info we need. The AppID which is 435150 and the workshop mod id which is 1140405351.
Hop back over to SteamCMD and type the following
workshop_download_item 435150 1140405351
The first part of the above tells steam we want to download a workshop mod. The second part is the game we want the mod for. The last part is the Id of the mod so it knows which one to download.
If done correctly you should see the following
Success. Downloaded item 1140405351 to 'C:steamcmdsteamappsworkshopcontent4351501140405351' (2542744 bytes)
Of course the above location will change based on where you have SteamCmd located. Within the SteamCmd folder where the executable is located let's go into the directory steamcmdsteamappsworkshopcontent435150. The last bit of numbers will change with the Divinity 2 Original Sin AppID.
Within this folder is where all the mods you download will go. If you followed my instructions above to test you'll notice there is a folder in here that has the same name as the workshop mod id. Inside of this folder you will find the mod.
Have fun guys, if anything isn't clear let me know and i'll try to clear it up.
