Mods disappearing from mod manager despite it's still up on Workshop

[WolfGuy100]

Hello! Hope everyone having a good day or night! I'm having a very strange issue with mods from Workshops. Despite they're downloaded from Steam workshop, the mod manager shows them as missing. I had to double check and no mod authors has them removed. Anyone have that issue?

I thought it's my pc problem, luckily apparently seems like you have the same problem as mine. I also have the same problem. I noticed my RJL mods is missing, even tho I already subscribed and downloaded it. There are also several sounds mod that identified as missing too.

Edit : Alright, the fix is pretty simple. I just unsubscribe then subscribe again on those missing mods, and suddenly it reappeared in the mod manager. Idk why it's happening, but I'm glad it's easy to fix, although might be quite annoying if you have a lot of missing mods.

This thing also happened to me, starting this morning. I have tried the same method as you, and it worked. But if i close the game and reopened it then the same mods that was missing is missing again. I had to resub them again at workshop.

I don't know the problem came from steam or ETS itself, hope they fix it soon.

Edit: this also happened to ATS

I had it now under 1.44 for the first time. :O

What helps: unsubscribe from mods, throw them out of the active list in the game. Subscribe again and then activate and sort in the game again.

some weird mod issues since today

today i started the game and suddenly 5 mods were missing .... the issue wasnt that they were incompatible the issue was that the game thought they werent subscribed. So i went checking in the workshop and they were subscribed but not in the game and then i unsubscribed and subscribed again and everything was fine.

this happens after every gamestart, any ideas how to fix this or what can cause it?

Some people said that restarting PC may help so, let see if that works.

UPDATE: I tried restarting, didn't work. Unsubbing and resubbing the mods didn't work either. Steam must have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up

Steam issue. Try to unsub and to resub to the mods.

I have tried that, it didn't work. So, it must be on Steam side.

I've tried it, sadly didn't work for me. When i did that, other mods become missing instead lmao

Hey, same. I am suspecting it may have been Steam side doing that.

Instructions missing mods:

1. Start game, open mod manager, check active mods.
2. Tab to Steam Workshop, view the list of subscribed mods
3. Tab back into game, throw missing mods from list "actine mods" (arrow left). Quit mod manager, BUT stay in the game!
4. Tab to Workshop, unsubscribe from all affected mods, and immediately resubscribe.
5. Tab back into the game, open Modmanager again, activate the newly subscribed mods and sort them into the list.
6. Close and save Modmanager. Playing game.

7. Repeat 1 - 6 the next time you restart the game.

Alternatively, you can also convert any workshop mod into a local mod. But I won't write the instructions for it here.

I'll keep that in mind once I start up the game next time.

In ATS Discussion, a lot of people are having issue and I am hearing that it might have something to do with Steam messing thing up with update last night. I'm keeping a close eye on this situation

same thing happened to me twice today. both times the same 2 mods. i did the same thing you did, unsubcribed then subscried and all was good. very wierd. hope they fix it soon.

Same problem here. Fast way to get past it for me is:
1. Try to launch game, get missing mod error screen.
2. Click on button to view the top highlighted mod in the Workshop. (On bottom right of screen)
3. The microborwser in the Steam overlay opens the mod page; unsubscribe/resubscribe or click on the link to the mod author's workshop page, find the mod and click the green "+" icon to re-download. (This won't change the subscribed date in your Steam Workshop listing for the game, if that matters to you.)
4. Exit the missing mod warning screen, open the mod manager, see that the mod is once again present and active in the list.
5. Try to launch the game again, get missing mod error screen, this time the one you "fixed" isn't in the list, but the remaining ones are.
6. Repeat 2 - 5.
7. Once you've cleared the last missing mod error, the game will successfully launch.
8. Hope that Steam fixes this problem with the workshop...

I am hearing that you gonna repeat the process if you want to play the games again which is honestly concerning but I am going to wait and see if they release a fix.
