You can also choose which mods you want active via the checkboxes for each one.
This will show all the Workshop items you are subscribed to and the download progress of them. Once you have subscribed to items in the Workshop, when you next load up the game you can see these mods by clicking on the Mod Manager button in the launcher.
The tags can be used to filter for mods of different types, so if you just want to find mods that add new units, the Units tag is the one for you. You can browse the Workshop for mods you would like to have in your game and subscribe to them. A shame, particularly considering how much success SimCity 4 had with mods.The Rome II Steam Workshop is a directory of user created modifications for the game that can alter many different areas of the game, from simple balance mods to adding new units to changing the graphics in the game. Even aside from the Steam aspect, many major publishers have traditionally been a little wary of heavily associating themselves with mods because of potential legal issues, so it’s possible that the Workshop will largely be populated with a plethora of independent games. It’s true that all three of those are EA products, but it’s a dangerous sign that some of the titles most likely to get a boost from user-generated content are highly unlikely to use this new, user-friendly service. The new SimCity, which is reportedly likely to gain mod support sometime after launch, is unlikely to support Steam Workshop simply because, as an ea game, it’s unlikely to turn up on Steam. The same goes for The Sims 3, which is still going strong. Dragon Age: Origins has a sizeable modding community, despite the game’s lack of direct support for mods, but – age notwithstanding – I’d be surprised if it ever turned up on there. Second: this is a problem, because there are publishers out there which would doubtless rather focus on their own digital distribution platforms than give you a reason to shop on Steam.
