Subscribed mods will not download. Yes, I'm new to steam. Can anyone help?

Hello, I'm new to steam. I've noticed alot of interesting and cool mods I've came across in the workshop. It tells me to push the subscribe button and it will download automatically. Well, so far i've subscribed for quite a few mods and only one downloaded successfully, and that one that downloaded was cheap. So i decided to unsubscribe. Somone help?

1. You subscribe to the mod

2. You hit play in your library for Skyrim and the launch menu appears.

3. Now wait for the mod to download, it may take a few minutes. You can see the progress of the download in the top right corner of the launch menu.

4. Once it downloads and syncronizes hit play in the launch window to start the game.

OK, seems it's Skyrim Workshop mods you're subscribing to since it's the only game you have.

Once you click subscribe you click the play button for Skyrim in your library. That will start the mod[s] downloading. You can monitor the download progress in the top right corner of the Skyrim launch window. Once the mod has downloaded[may take a few minutes], it will syncronize. Then just hit play in the launcher and the game will start with your mod installed. To verify the mod is activated, on the games main menu click Data Files and make sure there is a check mark in the box next to the mods name.

Thats it? ...All you have to do is play the game while it DL's?

I feel stupid.

NO! when the first launch window opens, you Must wait for the mod to download and syncronize. Then hit play again

Open data files and make sure there is a check mark next to the mods name before you hit play a second time

Then the mods are installed and are active. You now have them in your game

Hmm... Thanks for the help! It's just odd because it seems as if the mods arent working. I'll go check again and make sure that they are infact working. Again, thanks for the help. :D
