Where do Steam Workshop Mods Download too?

Could anyone help me find the path of Steam Workshop Mod File Location, Windows 7?

Basically I am trying to port a mod from the Steam Workshop to Non-Steam A14. So I need to know where they install. Thanks

Steam --> Steamapps ----> Workshop ---> Content  (Seems to be the answer, however the folders need to be manually renamed.)
But I think it will work after manually renaming.

For those of you who are modders please if possible upload both on and off of Steam. However re-naming the files is not the end of the world it took 2 mins. Two mins for 8 mods so it's all good.

Mine are located here:

D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content

Note, they aren't stored the same as they are on the non-steam mods. The folder names are numbers. For instance this is what my modsconfig.xml looks like with a mix of workshop and manual mods:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModsConfigData>
  <buildNumber>1234</buildNumber>
  <activeMods>
    <li>Core</li>
    <li>Community Core Library</li>
    <li>Community Core Library - Vanilla Tweaks</li>
    <li>672711525</li>
    <li>725465444</li>
    <li>725219116</li>
  </activeMods>
</ModsConfigData>

Incidentally, looking here is how I found their location. I saw the name of the mod was a number and then just searched the steam directory using one of the numbers above as the search term. Brought me right to them all.

Yes and in order to re-name them I went into the "About" text file and found the line that has the title and just renamed it via copy and paste. Thanks for replying so fast but I figured it out! :)

How do I do this in reverse? I want to include a mod downloaded from the forum in my steam Rimworld game. I've found the workshop/content folder, but when I copy the mod into the folder it doesn't show up in my game.

EDIT: Figured it out, not the workshop folder but the common/Rimworld/Mods folder.

Right click Rimworld > "Properties" > "Local Files" tab > "Browse Local Files"  (forum based mods go in the Mods folder) > click "steamapps" or reverse only 2 folders up > "Workshop" > "content" > "294100"
All mods are listed by their mod IDs which you can match in the address bar on steam when viewing the mod page on the workshop

Hahaha... Thank you Snownova I did the same exact thing. Now I feel less stupid. I placed the mod in the Steam folder. Booted up the game. Looked at the list... thought to myself well I guess the Steam users are ****ed they can't use regular mods not from Steam Workshop sucks for them... Back to Sendowl for me! Which I plan to use Sendowl anyhow for the most part because I can make each folder of the game standalone and have multiple games going at the same time with independent mod and save folders.

Then like 15 seconds after I closed the game it hit me how dumb I was!  I was over thinking it and it's simple just put it in the normal Rimworld Mod folder. lol
