Will steam workshop download mods while playing a game?
I am installing a few big mods for skyrim, and I don't want to wait for them to finish. Can I start playing the game and expect them to still be downloaded, so that when I restart the game later on they appear in the data list?
Best Answer
Yes they will download in the background.
The only reasons mods wouldn't download is if you play a game which uses more that a specific bandwidth which steam sets.
Skyrim is an offline game aswell so they should download fine in the background.

It's not impossible. But it's not very likely. And one problem would be any mod that's popular enough but is also malicious would get found out pretty quick and removed. And any mod that's unpopular enough that no one uses and it's not discovered wouldn't be a very good vector for malicious code.How To Install Mods To Steam Games - Steam Workshop Tutorial
