Get GreenLuma (found on cs.rin.ru) instead, it doesn't modify game files. It works by injecting itself into the steam client
Some games have server sided dlc checks though, so keep that in mind
I see, seems like an option. Though there seems there's multiple ways of installation? Which one should I do?
And what actually is GreenLuma? It's interesting. How does it work? How do I use it?
EDIT: Also, while looking at some tutorials I saw that you need the game files to install things. Does that also happen with the DLCs? I have looked through csrinru but I can't find any clean files, only a cracked version.
I'd recommend the Stealth mode installation by dropping the User32.dll into the Steam directory
To answer your edit: It depends. Some DLC need to be downloaded seperately, you need to install those manually (most are downloaded with the base game in my experience). cs.rin.ru has many ressources on how to do that. You'd have to do that for CreamAPI aswell though. Adding non owned games is pretty much useless imo because you only get cloudsaves and achievement support iirc, you'd be better of playing a cracked version without Steams DRM instead.
The best thing about GreenLuma is it's Family Sharing Restrictions bypass though. If you share libraries with some friends you can play almost everything together with only one license
Ok thank. In this case the DLCs are just for unlocking some things which you (in certain cases) and other people who already unlocked them can already use them (it's multiplayer). It's not some "expansion* type dlc. So I guess I don't need to install them separately anyways.
Also, I just realized this. It seems with GreenLuma you can also download games. One of the problems of downloading cracked software is that you can't play multiplayer in most of them, if I were to add them through GreenLuma, would I be able to?
Nope, GreenLuma can't download games anymore. That got fixed in 2013, even if you add them manually multiplayer won't work if it's using the Steam Servers
