Workshop to Epic Games

[twistedlegacy052]

Is there a way to "convert" Workshop vehicles to the Epic games version because that's what I have.

I forgot to mention that the tutorials don't help

I wouldn't, as Epic Games doesn't have the non-free DLCS so you'll be missing parts of the cars

What about the select few that don't require the tuning DLC (Such as the BMW Isetta mod or Tank mod).

Someone else claimed that you can't even use mods on the Epic version. Not sure why. I did download it though so I can experiment with it. Maybe I'll figure out why mods don't work with it or figure a way to make them work. May take me a while before I come to a conclusion on it. If it were to work with mods, I'd assume you need to download and manually install them from the internet site hosting all the car mods--some that aren't even available in Steam Workshop btw. Even if the mod required DLC, you could edit it in car editor to replace the parts needing the DLC.

It's actually really easy. But, using the 'Car Editor' (launched using the steam 'Play' button) takes a little getting used to. There's a good tutorial video for getting familiar with it in the 'Guides' section I believe.

there is actually, vortex supports steam workshop items. to convert workshop items, all you do is take the link to your desired workshop item and then use this converter that will give the mod as .zip
one converted, you'll need to save it to a mod folder (it doesn't have to be in the game folder, it can be on your desktop)

link: steamworkshop.download

Conversion Process
1. When converted, save to mod folder - it will download as .zip
2. Open the mod folder and locate the .zip you just downloaded and "extract all" to the folder.
3. Open vortex and under your game profile, upload the .zip.
4. Install and deploy mod.
5. You're done!

NOTE: You will need to manually download any updates your converted workshop items might get (i.e downloading a new version).

there are also mods on the nexus for CS2018.

Edit: I should also mention that any workshop items imported via this method will use their workshop ID as their file name, i recommend renaming them upon downloading them so you don't forget which mods are what.

How do I get Vortex to work with CMS2018?
It's not listed under it's games when searched
And I can't find an option for adding a custom game and telling it where to install mods for that game
