Yeah, remove something that's old or not very popular to make room for something new.
Your title is also your answer, if ya just stop and think about it for a few... lol

you REALY think i did not try that?

Maybe the removed items were not large enough to free enough space for your new item. The workshop limit goes by bytes, not by a set number of items. Like, you can have tons of workshop items if they're small in size. But if your items exceed several megabytes, you'll only have room for a few. (I heard the limit is 100MB)

I think I've once heard something about deleting workshop submissions not giving back more space for uploading new stuff. I'm not sure if that ever was the case and/or still is, though.


As for some advice, uhm... Upload it somewhere other than Steam's workshop? For example on GameBanana.[gamebanana.com]

It has to be a lot more complicated than that, as there's single assets considerably larger than that - this one, for example, is quoted as 376 MB*:

And that particular user seems to have over 2500 MB uploaded to the workshop in total, so I'm flummoxed as to what the actual limits are. It's possible that there's compression involved somewhere along the line, or that it's somehow based on Steam Level.

* That said, why on earth anyone thinks that making a single model with textures that size is a good idea when SFM only has ~3.5 GB RAM limits is another matter. There's a lot of models I've had to download and resize all the textures to stop them taking an obnoxiously large amount of SFM's RAM.

As far as I'm aware (have been told years ago), one's workshop space for Source FilmMaker is shared with one's "Steam cloud" space for it, which (according to a right-click in Steam on it and choosing "Properties" > "Updates") has about 1.91 gigabytes as the maximum value.

and i'm pretty sure i have, alot of space left

[Pipann]

Awkward.

But good to hear there's more room for SFM. I always found that what I mentioned earlier to be a surprisingly low amount of MB.

[episoder]

you only have 150 MB worth of workshop items. wth. it may be obvious... tho... testing...

edit: try to disable steam cloud for sfm. i have actually no idea what is shared with the cloud. usually it's just cfgs and save. can't figure out tho. mine is not working correctly or updating the size after sync. looking at your cloud's size i'd guess the whole elements or usermod folder is up in the cloud. that'd be eating up that space. i've no idea if and how you can clean this cloud manual tho. if it clears when disabling you're fine. if not, you may have to temporarily empty your elements and/or usermod or whatever the F it syncronizes folders (i can't figure it out - not updating) and sync the empty state of it with the cloud. that should clean it up. you could then disable the cloud and refill the de-clouded folder with your stuff.
