I think the problem you have, is related to the fact that 'Steam' will have modded the game coding, so that they can 'Auto Update' your game anytime you are connected to the internet.
There have been big discussions on this over on the Auran 'Trainz' forums, most feel it's an intrusion on their privacy & refuse to purchase anything from 'Steam'.
You can pick up 'new & sealed' copies of SH3 (released by 'Focus') very cheaply on 'Amazon', this version has no problems with patching or using the mods. I bought one & run GWX plus other mods from the guys on here.
