Thanks! This was exactly what I was hoping for..and much more!
Like radbiird, I am amazed, and also very grateful that I stumbled across this community.
Since you mention about the servers, I am not sure why but they have never ever worked for me. I wonder if there's an explanation out there.
But now my eyes have opened to the CDLC/modding potential, I am curious to know if there is any risk in allowing the game to talk to the servers? Are we doing anything they don't want us to or that breaks terms of the license by adding content and modding the game?
Ultimately I would love to bypass steam and all the online stuff, simply because for me there needs to be a great reason to allow software to send and receive data that benefits me. I do understand Steam is a great way to make sure publishers get paid, and I'm down with that, but as someone who is not trying to play for free unfairly, it's in our way isn't it?
