Mods not showing up in the launcher [Solved]

[SERIAL BASSIST]

Recently Bought this game after rinsing it at a friends offline so I could play mods. Unfortunately I cant see an options to activate subscribed mods in the games launcher. After consulting google and search i have tried to do the following to fix it.

-Verify Cache
-Fresh install
-Unsubscribe and resubscried to mods.
-Copied and pasted the steam workshop folder into the hearts of iron folder found in my documents
--Also tried this whilst deleting all other workshop content apart from what is found in the 394930 folder where HoI4 Mods are found in steamapps.
-Copied and pasted the previously mentioned folders and renamed workshop to mod
-Opted out of all betas
-Opted out of all betas for the steam client

I cannot find any other solutions posted anywhere, and its really frustrating as iv finished the game loads elsewhere, iv literally only bought the game so i can try it with mods on my own pc :(. Any other solutions would be amazing.

SOLUTION

Ok so I managed to solve this problem after sitting in steam chat troubleshooting with lukas below. We tried a few things like deleteing the entire Hearts of Iron IV folder found in Documents\Paradox Interactive before verifying the game and launching again to create the folder again etc

After verifying that none of the above worked, I opted into the beta for the new steam client which is a known cause for the problem (I had never opted in before thus ruled it out as the cause) and straight after opting in, I opted out of the steam client beta and re-started steam and this seemed to solve my problem completely where before the game would not create the mod folder, now it does.

Hope this helps anyone having this problem in the future.

Just to be sure: You are aware of the mod tab in the launcher, right? But they aren't listed there?

Definitely a bad idea. I just want to stress this in case somebody stumbles upon this thread later on looking for a solution to a problem like that. Don't do that. (Yes, if you do additional steps that can work, but even then it's a bad idea because the mods don't get updated etc.) So in conclusion: Don't do it.

Thanks for reply Lukas.

Yeah im aware of the mod tab on the launcher, also tried using the drop down menu which just says I have 0 mods installed.

And sorry, I should mention I copied and pasted those folders rather than moved them so the originals are still where they should be. However alot of other threads state that as a fix, it hasnt worked for me but it aparantly works for some people.

Guys, can we stop it already? It's been more than 3 years now.

We did stop, you just prolonged it by accident
