You can either add it to a folder that’s already been created or just add it directly to your COMPONENTS menu. If you just want a particular piece or two of the subscribed mod, you can right click on the object and click “Save Object”. You can read about saving and loading games here. Please do not however, re-upload it to the Workshop and call it your own. Click on GAMES -> SAVE & LOAD and choose the “Create” button on the top right. If you find a mod you like, but you’d like to improve upon it for your own personal use, you can set it up with your own additions and just save it. This will both unsubscribe you from the mod and delete it from your computer. You will get a popup confirmation to ensure you want to delete this game. To fully delete it from the game AND unsubscribe at the same time, you can easily do so in TTS by clicking on GAMES -> WORKSHOP, and search for the game you’d like to unsubscribe and hover over it. To unsubscribe, you do so the same way you subscribed however, the game will still show up in TTS, it just won’t be updated. If you are already subscribed to it, it will have a checkmark underneath of the image. Once you find the mods you are interested in trying out, you can either click on the mod’s page to read through the description and subscribe there, or you can hover over each mod and click the green plus sign button. This is why when creating a mod it’s very important to put the correct tag of your mod to make it easier for people to find the games they want on the Workshop. You can sort by game type and number of players. Subscribing to a mod on the Workshop is very easy. You can make your mods available to the public, for your friends only, or completely hidden where only you can see them. This is the place where you upload your games or download them for free.
