The ability to use mods from the workshop on the pirate (Sid Meier's Civilization 5)

Thanks for stopping by.

My question is very rare, and most likely only those who have only a "clean" license and a pirated version of Gold Edition have come across it. It consists in the fact that I just can't get my pirate to read the mods downloaded from the workshop. I have already managed to copy the original files to a separate folder, and even interrupt the work of the civic before it encrypts the mods into its special files, but none of this helped me. Alas and ah, but the pirate takes and erases all the downloaded files so reverently (there are 9 GB of them, for the fifth time I'm downloading !!!) at the moment the corresponding section of the menu is opened. I certainly agree that life is pain, but I do not agree that we cannot do anything about it. I trust in your power, modders and users.

Note
For some (especially large) mods in the workshop there are links to the dropbox. Can you tell me how useful TE versions can be?
