How do you get mods from Steam for Civ 5?

[Dooglar]

Its obviously a simple thing, so simple nobody has explained it beyond: open Civ5, get mods. Problem is, when you press, "Get mods" it leads to an empty section of Steam (says something like, "No matches to your search criteria" which is odd because I hadnt yet searched anything...).
Can someone please explain how to search for specific mods and install them.

From looking at this post, click the "Workshop" tab at the top of the screen, slightly right of center. Search or browse in that page, then either subscribe or favorite from there. Subscribing will download the mod and get it ready for play.

I strongly recommend you subscribe to the mod, allow it to download and test in game, then go to documents > my games > Sid Meier's Civilization 5 > MODS, right-click and copy your subscribed mods and place the copies in a safe folder outside of the game structure. Then go back to the workshop, favorite and unsubscribe.

By doing this, you have a backup copy of the mods if they are deleted or changed in such a way as to negatively affect your experience, or if you need to do a fresh install and inadvertently delete the mods along with the game. This has saved me a couple of times already, and multiple times in other games. When a steam mod is updated or pulled, it affects you whether you wanted it to or not, if you are subscribed.
