Can't access worskhop to download mods? Help!

[Nen☆niN]

Title. I can't access mods from the workshop, although I can go into the workshop and see the first mods, nothing comes up when browsing or searching. It tells me that nothing was found for the search criteria (I know for a fact that the mods exist), and it even switches just that sentence to my native language to really rub it in that no mods were found. I clearly see them via the browser, but they disappear once I log onto the browserm, not allowing me to download any mods. plz help!

It might be a filter issue, try unchecking the boxes, and see if can search by name for it.

Thanks for the response, but there literally are no checkboxes. I just tried searching for something random after failing to acquire the mod I want and it brought up mods and checkboxes but when searching for anything after or before that hasn't even shown the checkboxes. It seems to be random whether or not I can access mods

Ok just a heads up, I got the mod I wanted by accessing the author's profile and checking created items, but I still can't access the workshop

I'm having this issue with this as well, I can't get anything to appear on the workshop or collections.
I choose etc etc for the workshop, click search, and the page doesn't even load.

I use a collection for my dedicated servers and it says they're wiped, and each time I reload it may/may not show the items that were in it.
But for right now it says there's nothing in it.
This sucks.

So I played around a little with filters, seem to be bug, or a cache bug.

So what I done is couple ways, I head to home of workshop of the game, click on a random tag under Browse By Tag, then if nothing shows, click home, select something else again basically trying to update your search cache to stop looking for things you click filter on for it.

Another way is just by deleting your cache, and cookies. Steam settings > Web browser > click on two buttons to delete cache, and cookies, then reload the page, and should work again for you.

Also pay attention to the URL as that give you a hint if there a filter apply in it, or not.

Do you have the mod name? And I assume this is for Sid V?

Didn't quite understand everythin you said, but by repeatedly searching for different tags I got it to work a little bit. Cant find where to delete cache and cookies, but those don't seem applicable to the steam client app, which is the main way I've accessed the workshop (probably should've been more clear on that point).

I did say how to find it.

On your client, to the top left, you see word "Steam" > Click on "Settings" > Click on " Web browser" tab > You see the two buttons to delete cache, and cookies.

I never claimed that you didn't say where to find it, I just thought that it was only doable in the browser since "web browser" tab, and when I couldn't find it in the browser I simply disregarded the tip. I was confused at the moment, but now with extra clarification for my smoothbrain I was able to find it. It seems to be working now, either by chance or by deleting the cache and cookies. Thank you kindly.

This commonly happens after you've had some internet outages or connection issues. Things can get corrupted. Do also note that it doesn't matter if you use a browser or the UI itself as Steam uses Chrome. People can often get a bit confused by that, so always bear that in mind - if you've been accessing Steam by browser it can affect the UI too.

Clearing the cache basically clears anything to do with this.
