6. Now delete the line <mods /> if it exists.
7. Now enter your mods according to the following scheme below </settings>:

      <PublishedFileId>WorkshopID</PublishedFileId>.
      <PublishedServiceName>Steam</PublishedServiceName>
    </ModItem>
  </Mods>

8. With more than one mod, it looks like this:
