Can't access mods
My game can't seem to find any workshop mods. They were visible about a week ago, I had restarted my computer during that week period and now all mods have vanished, yet still in the game folder. I have tried the normal stuff, restarting my laptop, reinstalling the game, verifying etc, yet nothing works. Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?

hello
you can't login to steam to workshop, or in your game you don't see the mods?

I don't see the mods in game

So, any mods you're subscribed to should download into the following folder;

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\645630

If you indeed are subscribed to mods, they should be in numbered folders within that folder. Check to see if they are actually there. If not, then go to workshop, to your subscribed items and favorite all the one's the workshop shows subscribed......if they're not there then go find them and favorite them. Next, unsubscribe from them. Close out steam / restart steam. Then go back to workshop and show 'favorites' at which point you can subscribe to each of them again. This should re-download them. Afterwards you can go back to the content folder and double check they are there. When you play CMS, be sure you have steam in 'Online' mode. You may have set it to play in offline mode since you're on a laptop and workshop content won't be available in 'Offline' mode.

If you want to play in Offline mode, you'll need to go into each mod folder, figure out the car name and rename the folder appropriately. Then move that folder into the game's 'Cars' folder. That way your mods will always be available no matter how you launch your game. Only downside to this is the mods won't get update's automatically from steam if the mod author makes changes to their mod.

when you enter to steam workshop you must choose the car you want and make sure you put subscribed and you will see that it updates the steam screen and the location where these cars are placed is in this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Steamsteam\amapps\workshop\content\645630 if it is already added here in your car gallery you can see it.

yes you can move the cars to the cars folder, but for some reason the decals can no longer be used when you paint the car

I think you mean 'Liveries' (decals) and I've not had that issue that I know of.....if the mod comes with liveries' even. Tbh, I only have a few mods that included 'liveries' for them. And, I haven't downloaded any 'liverie's' mods so, not sure if that is an issue.

So I looked inside a few of the downloaded folders and they each have their respective files so it should be working. I will try renaming and moving them to the cars folder and get back to you

Once you move them, be sure to go back into workshop and 'unsubscribe' from them so steam doesn't try to re-download them to the workshop\content folder again. Not sure it would matter but, it might cause conflicts.......especially if you want to edit any of the car's config files.

I've come to a conclusion: there was a fatal error with steam that has caused it to not be able to find files correctly

You DO have steam cloud synch turned OFF for this game I hope? It will corrupt save files.
