Problems loading workshop mods

[Thecam]

the main problem is that the mods don't load and I always get the same error message, I didn't have this problem before and I don't know what to do.

I have tried:

-Verification of game files
-Game restart
-Reinstalling the game
-Delete mods folder
-Reinstalling the mods
-I visited the official forum and a page with solved problems that did not help me.

errors

the error message is
Error updating workshop mod (most likely corrupt): Error converting value [null] to type 'System.Int32'.Path 'ObjectStates[14].ContainedObjects[0].CustomDeck.18.NumWidth'.

Not familiar with this one, but it's possible Steam is messed up, after going through everything in the support faq for TTS I would just do a totally clean install of Steam and TTS.

Wait, is this happening ? It started happening to me after a terrible restore. The workshop or my saves were not loading, just endless errors. I deleted all of Steam, all of the residual config information for TTS everywhere on my machine, then manually copied my backed up assets into the workshop/mods/saves directories, then I deleted the SaveFiles.json in /Saves. I can load mods and load/save games just fine now despite the error. There's some steam sync issue causing this, I think.

saw this recently on the discord, a user's files were all cut off after x amount of characters. For some reason their text files got truncated - possibly down to drive compression.

When you delete your mods folders, make sure you do so while TTS is open then safely close it. This will convince your Steam Cloud that you really want them deleted, otherwise it'll just download your broken ones off your cloud again.

This in a nutshell is everything bad and dangerous about clouds everywhere.
As a person who has reinstalled backed up viruses, and seen data vanish before my eyes for absolutely no reason on icloud, drive, and Steam, I no longer trust them. They should be thought of as a spare convenience and not relied upon for anything, ever.
