How To Download Skyrim Mods From Steam Workshop Without Steam4

Steam’s introduction of paid mods for Skyrim has divided the community, and follows on the back of a similarly controversial introduction of account limits based on purchases.While some are cautiously optimistic about the future of the paid modding initiative, others have taken to the Steam Workshop itself to air their grievances.

'The game that this item belongs too does not allow downloading of its items' on https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370035983
Guess GOG users are not allowed to use mods for that game.
'I think it's not actually possible to use a downloader for newer steam workshop stuff, because it uses the same download depot system for mods as for games. It all goes through the steam client now.
In the past the steam workshop used to use a different system where the game itself would download mods using an API, which I think is what that steam workshop downloader is trying to use. '

Ah ok.. so... vendor lock in completed. Congratulations you guys.
This is nothing to do with Steam Downloader and the API, and everything to do with the publisher of the game not enabling those who don't own the game on Steam to download workshop mods.
The API Steam downloader (and similar web pages and tools) uses is a web-based API - it never had anything to do with the game itself.
If you want a mod that's currently 'locked' for you because you don't have it on Steam, your options are:
1) Contact the publisher of the game and get them to unlock it (this sometimes works - Klei unlocked Invisible Inc workshop mods for example).
2) See if the mod is available elsewhere, such as Moddb or NexusMods - if not, contact the developer of the mod and get them to get their shit together.
3) Buy the game on Steam.

I suspect that Steam 'locks' the workshop by default, which is why newer games tend to often not be accessible via the downloader - meaning it's up to the game's publisher to explicitly set the workshop to be available.

If I would have known this earlier, I would never had bought this game over GOG but over Steam.
Also, the connecting to other people is a big problem.
Do someone know if one can get a refund for a transfer to Steam from the Publisher?
But I learnt my lesson, I will only buy singleplayer games or games with internal multiplayer management on GOG, but never ever games that:
- need a infrastructure for mods
- have their multiplayer outsourced to the distribution platform

Hello everyone.
Considering that this thread is still relatively active.. and a top result on google as well..
The website www.steamworkshopdownloader.io has now officially been updated to support many more games.
Any game that doesn't explicitly disable 'anonymous game server downloads' should be working now.
If your game still doesn't work, see if you can get the game developer to enable this setting.
Enjoy!

The technicalities:
We are no longer just relying on the outdated 'Steam Web API' (also known as the ISteamRemoteStorage interface) to retrieve files. Most download tools rely on this.
Using a large pool of steam clients, we were able to automate file retrieval of games that use the newer 'User Generated Content API' (also known as the ISteamUGC interface). So many more modern games are supported by our website.
(so please be aware of any website that claims 'not to be allowed to download files'- it may actually just be lacking support for the newer API)
