Mods not showing up but shows that I'm subscribed on the Steam Workshop.
Hello there.

I'm trying to activate my mods for After Dark but none of them are showing up on the Mods Tab. It does say that I am subscribed to them on the bottom Steam Workshop tab.

When I try to download or subscribe to something in the workshop, it doesn't download anything.

I did move my game files from my regular harddrive to my new SSD (I redownloaded the whole game). Maybe that has something to do with the issue?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I assume you moved the mod folder also?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop

Well I didn't physically move the program folders. I just uninstalled the game and reinstalled it on the new harddrive.

I had this problem last Friday (and even before the update a few times), and I found a lot of different info about how to solve it. There's not one solution, there are several possible solutions.

What finally did it for me was to go to Steam > Settings > Downloads and make sure the box for Limit auto-updating schedule was UNCHECKED. I found that one in the comments of the reddit post at the end.

But there are other possible solutions. Here they are:

POSSIBLE SOLUTION 1
Go to your steam folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop) and delete the appworkshop_255710.acf file. Do a 'verify cache' (as described in link above) again and all mods will get downloaded again.

This is from Athmo in this thread yesterday. Not sure where he learned it.

Great troubleshooting guide by RamsesII which includes a section on "Content Manager empty, Mods / Assets Missing"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=426212120

By the way, the first time I had this problem, it was the local LUTs files issue (from the guide above), which was really easy to fix, so maybe check that before doing all the other stuff.


POSSIBLE SOLUTION 9
Open up the game. Alt tab to Steam, go offline. Open up the game, exit out. Restart steam in offline mode. Go online. Open up the game. Check the mods, if you don't see any, hit F5.

This one is from a guy in a CS group on FB.

This is not the same problem from 2 years ago, please start your own thread instead.

I takes a while sometimes for the mods to redownload. Check the progress by clicking at the bottom of the steam app and see if it is even queued.

sigh,

YOU DO NOT POST A NEW THREAD WHEN AN EXISTING THREAD COVERS THE SAME TOPIC.

Please view this helpful video produced by steam (relevant section for you starts at 1m20s)

Now please stop spreading your awful misinformation and counterproductive commentary.

For what it's worth, I was having the exact problem after also reinstalling C:S. I tried all the things I'd seen suggested like changing the Steam download times, restarting my computer, resubscribing to the mods, etc., but to no avail.

The solution I finally found, however, was this:

Library > Cities:Skylines > Properties > "Local Files" Tab > Verify Integrity of Game Cache

Seems like that took care of everything. My mods are now showing up in the in-game content manager and functioning properly in the game itself. Good luck.
Found this in another thread, worked like a charm

I had a similar issue of the required mods not downloading when subscribed to them. This worked wonders for my game!

A few questions about solution 1. In that file location, there were two of that type of file, neither with that exact number. Also, where is the verify cache option? Is it in settings?
CO_Avanya Apr 13, 2021 @ 1:17am 
255710 is Cities: Skylines ID number on Steam, so any files with another number would be for other games you have.

For verifying the game files, right-click on the game in your Library, select Properties, select the tab Local Files, and click the button to "Verify integrity of game files..." - this usually takes a little while.
