Hi,
i bought the game on Nintendo switch

but i can not download mods to pc as i have to connect the game only for steam

1. is there a way to transfer ownership from nintendo switch to pc ? since i already buy the game there ?
2. how do i show proof that i bought the game on nitnendo switch already and then being able to download mods ?
3. i want to try putting the mods on the switch by accessing the mods folder in the switch itself but i can't download the mods as it's blocked on the website for me, i have done this before and i think it's possible

how do i show proof and unlock that in the website ?

i sent an email to support about it also

The switch version does not give you access to the game on other platforms and the switch version does not support mods.

i can access the files there and put mods and try it out
but to try it out i will need access to mods on the pc,

maybe not natively but the folder exist in the files expolorer if you get access to the actual game files
and i can put mod files there and test it out

Yes, if you have a jailbroken switch, then it is possible to run mods on it. This is obviously unsupported, and you can't get them from the mod portal without a PC account. Some mods are available on their GitHub page though.
