For this, open Steam, navigate to the game's Workshop page under the game's Community Hub, find a mod you're interested in, and click Subscribe. The mod will automatically download and apply. For games not using the Workshop, you may need to download mods from third-party websites and manually add them to your game’s directory, following the specific instructions provided with the mod.
