I've been installing mods manually for so long, but I need to download a couple of things from the workshop. Does anyone remember how to toggle workshop downloads on and off?
Well mine says "workshop disabled", and I'm pretty sure it was because of something I deliberately did to prevent doubles of things from appearing if I accidentally subscribed to something I'd already downloaded form here. EIther that or it was somehow a side-effect of disabling steam cloud for saves.
I figured it out. The problem was that I was launching the game directly from the executable instead of launching it through Steam
