[Solved] Playing a vanilla game without having to unsub from mods if disabling mod isn't possible.

[M82]

Okay so basically I have a PC and a laptop. My PC is my gaming computer and I use laptop for work. I want to play a certain game at work that I play at home, but since I don't have much time at work I started a new save (Chill mode basically). So I wish to install said game on my laptop, but without all the mods I use on the PC.

Please tell me if that was unclear, English isn't my first language.

Solved ! Thanks to Koolah : Simply launch the game from the install folder : Install directory (Usually C: -> Program files (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Game file (From there the .exe should be easily findable).

As far as I know, If youre subscribed to the items, youre subscribed to the items. Its the account subscribed to them.

Maybe someone has a workaround.

I really wish I could install a game without having to install all the mods I use on my other computer :/

Without knowing the game, I dont know how viable this is:

Unsubscribe from items
Install on laptop
put laptop in offline mode
resubscribe to workshop items

If Steam on laptop goes online, it will download the workshop items though

if the game can be family shared, other account.

Here's the thing, it's Starbound. Amongst the mods I use, there's Frackin Universe, and this mod basically makes it so that you can't just unsubscribe from the workshop to get rid of it. You have to reinstall the whole game. So how do I install the game without having to unsub from said mod ? Do I just unsub from everything at work, uninstall game, re install, then put my steam in offline and resubscribe to the mods at home ?

unsub and uninstall if that is needed on main PC
Close Steam on main PC
Install game on laptop
Put Steam on laptop in offline mode

Reinstall and subscribe on main PC

Doesnt matter where you are

This will give you the vanilla single player experience on your laptop. But again, if you put Steam online on that lapop, it will evenually install the mods again, because youre subscribed.

nvm I found an alternative thanks to a friend !

Simply launch the game directly from the install folder. It bypasses the workshop and launches the game without mods. Can we lock this thread ?
