Clear Download Cache BROKE the Workshop

[Izuela]

I used "clear download cache" under Steam/Settings/Downloads and now the Workshop doesn't work for ANY of my games.

Mods are still listed as subscribed in the workshop
Mods aren't detected by the games. Mods lists empty.
Unchecking mods does not appear to do anything. Nothing seems to actually be removed.
Re-checking and try to redownload a mod does not start a download.
Trying to download a new, never before used, mod also doesn't start a download.
Verifying game file integrity did not find any problems.
Rebooting my computer did not fix it.

Go into Big Picture Mode to verify that the items are or are not downloading.

Why would I need to check that in big picture mode instead of the regular downloads page?

Anyway, I'm hoping it's just some kind of Steam-Workshop synch problem that will be fixed by itself in a few hours. Or by tomorrow at the latests. So fingers crossed and I hope my load orders are intact.

Because there is a known issue with the regular client and workshop downloads not appearing even though they are downloading...

Try what I suggested to see.

This exact thing just happened to me with Cities Skylines. Did you ever resolve it? I have tons of workshop material downloaded and it still says I'm subscribed but the game is showing no content.

If I recall it cleared up by itself after a day or two.

So what should I do if I clear Download cache?
Should I have a copy of my workshop mods in another folder or something?
Please anyone answer please

I just had this issue and here is what fixed it for me.

I checked the big picture mode steam but it wasn't there.
I exited from steam completely using the show hidden icons screen (small carrot on the bottom right of windows devices) to right click and exit from the steam icon
When I opened steam I went to a game I was currently playing, clicked on subscriptions, unsubscribed and then resubscribed to just one of the mods in the list.
I then launched the game, and the downloading updates screen appeared and at launch all my mods were back.

so if i clear my download cache on steam, my workshop content is fine? Like I'm talking about Gmod workshop mods i've downloaded.
