[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 213576, member: 4106"] Family sharing still uses different Steam accounts to actually play the games. Therefore, any DLC that is tied to a Steam account won't work even if the base game will. Pretty sure this isn't restricted to TPA. On the other hand, setting up Family [I]Mode[/I] allows different people to share the same Steam account, but with restrictions on what games and features can be accessed based on whether Family Mode is switched on or off (controlled by a PIN). In this case, all DLC will work because the Steam account name is the same. If you don't want to pay for the DLC for every family member, you'll need to have them all log in using the same Steam account, and set up Family Mode to restrict what younger family members can't get at.
