I own a copy of Terraria, but use a different Steam account to play it..
As stated in the title, I own a copy of the game on an account that I also created myself. For reasons I can't remember, I've always played the game through Family Share on a different account of mine. Recently I got back into Terraria, did a couple playthroughs and now I want to play with TML. In short, after some searching I found it on steam but couldn't download it on that account. Switched accounts, downloaded/opened TML, then switched back to see it appear in my Library.. still unusable unfortunately.
Is there anything I can do to be able to play TML through Steam, and not have to switch back to my old account? If the only other option is to do the manual install & manual updates I'm not doing that, and I guess I'll use that account. I come here in hopes there's a way to do this without the manual installation that I've seen mentioned previously. (I know how to do it, I would just rather use Steam.)

Installation is easy. If you purchased the Steam version of Terraria, install tModLoader from https://store.steampowered.com/app/1281930/tModLoader/. If you purchased the GOG version of Terraria, or Steam family share isn't working, read this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/tModLoader-guide-for-players#manual-installation
is there a way to make it work without doing the manual installation?
I have tmodloader and terraria on both of my accounts, but tmodloader only lets me open it on one of them (the one that actually owns the game)
can I spoof it to use that steamid when opening it or something?
hello is there any workaround for this?
