In there a folder named 289070.
Your workshop subscribed mods are in there.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070

As long as you have steam in stock location.

that numbered folder does not exist for me. I have steam installed in x86 on my steam drive, but most of my games including civ are installed on another HD.

This is on my work PC, I'll check on my home PC later tonight. On that one, I have Steam on C and my Steam Library on D, I'll see if there is a difference, I suspect that is similar to what you are doing.

Also, the numbered folder only exists if you are actually subscribed to a mod.
It's created when it downloads the first mod for a given game.

So i am subscribed and the mods are tested working, but I cannot find this numbered folder in my civ 6 path. There is no "content" folder. Is there a way I can see where steam is writing the mods? steam isn't even listing my subscritions as downloads though.

It is a different folder on my home computer:

Steam is installed in its normal position, here is where I found my CivVI workshop folders:

D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\289070

For the record, here is where my Steam Library is set on this computer:

D:\Games\Steam\

So it looks like you should just look in your library location and find the

\SteamApps\workshop\content\289070 inside of there.

I don't have that folder. I do not understand why not.

Perhaps just try to do a search for 289070 with file explorer starting at the root of each drive?

Do you have a Mac? The file path is different on Mac.

Good point. I had assumed OP had Windows due to having an x86 folder, but I suppose there is nothing stopping Mac from having something like that as well.

okay lol thanks for the advice, I found the folder. I didn't know there was another workshop folder in my next drive that had civ installed, I thought there was only one workshop folder on my C drive
