Can I install wallpaper engine without all the subscribed workshops?

[TheCoinflipBastard]

I want to install wallpaper engine on my laptop, the problem is that it
doesn't have much space in comparison to desktop PC and as you know wallpaper engine installs all the subscribed workshop automatically.

If there is a why to install it without this auto downloading please tell me.

thank you in advance :)

I guess not. I had a similar situation because I use a high performance cloud pc to speed up my work and sadly I only have around 500 gb of storage space on the instance. So I thought why not give it a try and see if WE runs only with a handfull of wallpapers but that's not the way Steam works.

As soon as you install WE with your Steam account the downloading will begin.

Hey, it's not possible since Steam will always download all subscriptions for all games and apps. What you could do is make backups of all your wallpapers on your main system and then unsubscribe from all wallpapers. This way you could install the app without any subscriptions and keep all your wallpapers on your main system. It's definitely a bit of a hassle but unfortunately our hands are tied here since its a limitation in Steam.
