## '''UPDATING YOUR MOD on Steam.''' You must have the .esp named the same as when you first uploaded it in order for it to upload to the same mod area without duplicating as a "new" mod. If you are versioning your mod, e.g., MyMod_0_1.esp was the original, and you are now trying to update on STEAM, but you versioned it to MyMod_0_2.esp it will upload as a "new" mod. To keep it as an update to your original mod, you will need to temporarily rename the new version back to MyMod_0_1.esp and STEAM will then find and update with the new file.

Steam Workshop does not currently support this kind of dependency. Make sure any special instructions or requirements are clearly defined in your mod description.
To specify mod or DLC dependencies for your mod, go to its Steam workshop page and select "Add/Remove Required DLC" for DLC or "Add/Remove Required Items" for required mods. The required mods selector will allow you to choose mods that you have published, favorited, or are subscribed to. You may favorite a required mod, add it as a required item, then unfavorite if you wish. The DLC selector provides a simple checklist of the available Skyrim DLC packages. To require a DLC, simply check its checkbox.
