About SCMD

SCMD Workshop Downloader 2 is an open-source Windows application that provides a graphical interface for SteamCMD, the command-line tool Valve uses to download Steam content. It is built to make downloading Steam Workshop items easier: it analyzes the links you enter, recognizes whether they point to individual items or collections, shows a preview of those links and generates a functional SteamCMD script that downloads the corresponding files. It can also create scripts intended for updating game servers, change the folder where files are saved, customize the application's color palette and optionally handle items larger than 300 MB.

Key features

  • Download Steam Workshop mods through a graphical interface
  • Process and download complete Steam Workshop collections
  • Generate SteamCMD scripts, including ones for updating servers
  • Preview entered links before downloading
  • Change the folder where downloaded files are saved
  • Option to download items larger than 300 MB
Best for: Windows 10 64-bit users who want to download Steam Workshop items and build SteamCMD scripts without working directly on the command line.
Good for
  • Open source under the MIT license, so the code can be inspected
  • SteamCMD itself can be downloaded from inside the application
  • Warns when an entered link belongs to a game that restricts Workshop downloads
Watch out for
  • Stated as requiring Windows 10 64-bit; other systems are untested
  • SteamCMD will not work if its folder name contains non-English characters
  • May be flagged as a false positive by antivirus software because of PyInstaller packaging
  • Whether a Workshop item can be downloaded without buying the game depends on the game's creators, not the app

SCMD FAQ

How do I learn to use it?
The application explains its use under the options button in the INFORMATION & HELP tab, and a tutorial video is linked from the project page.
Can it download Workshop items for any game?
No. The application only gathers the information needed to build a SteamCMD script; whether a game permits Workshop downloads without owning the game is decided by the game's creators. The app notifies you if an entered link belongs to a game on the known list.
Where is the data I enter stored?
According to the project, any data entered into the application is stored only on your own computer.
Is something wrong or out of date?
