Steam Workshop
Just because you don't have a game through Steam doesn't mean you can't get those Steam only mods. But what is the best way to add Steam workshop to my games that need it? Hopefully a way where I don't need to add it to every game individually.
I put this in suggestions that adding Steam Workshop be made easy with Heroic but I never got a response.

where do you own this game? Epic or GOG or Steam
Steam is very strict about its mods and workshops so I dont think any third party could download the mods

If I owned it on Steam then I wouldn't need help with this issue, Heroic doesn't even handle Steam games?
Not from what I've seen, there are games where most mods for the game are only on Steamworkshop, But there are instructions for setting up workshop for the game anyway with nothing saying Steam has problems with this. This was with a Gog game.
Please provide source and specifics on your claim "Steam is very strict about it's mods and workshops"

Like i said there is no way steam would allow any third party to download their mods as its undermine their ecosystem aside from the official one SteamCMD thats used by many workshop downloader in the internet.

yes heroic doesnt integrate with Steam Library for now, if thats your concern you could try Lutris that has integration for Steam Client

I don't need it to. The goal is to use Steam workshop with say a Gog or Epic game, I have read stuff where people have successfully done so before. For Steam games I'll just use Steam
