My mod is uploaded but not working
Hello i made a small mod recently, just replacing an item skin.
It works well when i use it locally in the mod-folder.

I upload it to the workshop, move my "local" folder away and subscripe so i can see that everything works alright but it dosnt show up in the mod-list.

What could be wrong? :-)

Nothing is wrong. Steam knows you are the author of the mod so you are the only one who can update that workshop item. It stored your author ID in the mods manifest.txt so you don't need to subscribe to it in the workshop. If you move it back into the folder then it will show up again in your modslist and you get an Update button to update the workshop item.

If you want to check if the mod got uploaded correctly onto the workshop then download the mod manually (use my guide) and compare the contents of the data folder with the stuff already on your disk by using a program like WinMerge. If no differences were found then you can assume it's fine.

not necessarily, I tried to download the content mod early parole bonuses and I couldn't get it to show up. my mod free power is also a content based mod and it also doesn't show up in mods. I've been testing my mod free power for a while now and it works great locally. I thought something like it already existed but I couldn't find it listed.

edit: nevermind early parole bonuses was added as a mode for escape mode. I got to say this though if you see a mod that doesn't work after today but before the next update. post it here. in order for a mod to be published it has to work locally first. there should be no such thing as a mod that shows up locally but doesn't show up in steam. I also downloaded the more realistic barbed wire fence mod. It works fine and it was from around when this was originally posted. was that the mod you weren't able to download because you were the creator of the mod.

After seeing the recent update added double sided windows, which made my double sided window mod obsolete, I have also found that both of my window mods won't even download to the mods folder anymore from the steam workshop. This includes my shadowed window mod. If someone could let me know if they were able to download them, I'd appreciate the feedback.
