Im used to pirating single player games, usually fitgirl. Cities Skylines 2 is coming soon and I can pay for the base game but Im not gonna pay for all those DLC, and I also want to download workshop content, considering that for this game the workshop is better than many DLC.

The way I see it I have some options but Im not familiar with pirating DLC separately or pirating the workshop so Idk what to do.

Do I just pirate the game and DLC, which is easy, and then download the workshop not having steam access? (idk how or if I can do this)

Do I buy the base game, and get access to the workshop, and then only pirate the DLC? (idk if the game might detect pirated DLC and stop working)

All help is welcome :D If there is some obvious mega-thread page that I have missed Im sorry, its really long and it has so much to read that I get lost.

I'd suggest buying the base game to use the Workshop, and then pirate the DLCs. But also, you are making one big assumption here, that the DLCS for the new game will be as easy to pirate as the previous game, or other Paradox title. They might not be. But we hope they will.
