MADE MY MODs WORK! after they Show up but didnt Load in Game
MODS Finally Work ed! After Mods Show ed Up but for me butdidn't work! I'm on Windows 10. Almost 3 hours to figure it out.

What didn't work....So what i originaly did was just go to the workshop to Subscribe to Mods, ttried to launch game. Nothing showed up closed out launcher and logged out Reloaded Steam, retried to launch CK2. Launcher Said Mods are there but can NOT check box on them to use them or not, box didn't even show. I launch game see if those unchecked mods load in game.... of course not. I go to see if the mods are in my documents paradox mods directory and yes they are i am trying only 3 mods to start... there are 3 zipped folders here like there should be but later when i DO get them to work i see in this mods folder the zipped folders are there along with matching little launcher files that match each mod.

ANYWAY, HOW I Make it WORK! This just me it may not be the answer for everyone. So I click my CK2 launcher, but I DO NOT Start/Load My CK2 game. I log out of Launcher and close it down I restart my CK2 Launcher then go to the GameWorkshop and Unsubscibe from those 3 mods, I also delete them from where they were in my mods folder in My Documents Paradox CK2 mods Folder. ANyway to make sure i have a clean-no error slate. for these mods now!

* MAKE SURE STEAM Options Allow to SYNC Games!
** And Turn Downloads ON During CK2 games in the Manage Game Options next to CK2 game!
Do the above 2 star items with your CK2 Launcher and Game CLOSED.

For some reason i had it off. Anyway, after all this messing around i closed down the CK2 Launcher again, and log out of steam/close it, then reload log back in to my steam. Then finally Launch my ck2 paradox launcher, find the 3 mods i subscribed to ARE there but i can't click/no check box. I launch game anyway, main Screen CK2 game loads fine I don't load my saved game i imediately exit out of game and launcher. I then ReLoad Launcher finally finding that the 3 mods ARE THERE AND I CAN USE CHECKBOX for them to Load in my game! ALSO, now where the ck2 mods are saved are the 3 mod zip files and 3 little matching launched mod buttons (total 6 items) for 3 mods in that mods folder... while my game is launched, like i mentioned earlier. I'll try to update let ya know if these original 3 Mods still work in a few days, launches, and maybe again in a month they still work.... MY GOD!

Hope this helps someone!!!... I'm hundreds of hours in my 1st Play CK2... CHEERS

I don't understand to what you refer here.

Do you mean in Steam Library - CK2 - Properties-Updates
to then set"Always Keep This Game Updated"
or/and "Always Allow Background downlaods" ?

Which option is it exactly ?

IF you don't play in english, then you could just give me the correct name of the option, no matter what language. English prefered, but if not, then i can simply change the language in my Steam launcher myself to the language you use and find that out.
Thanks

This seems really confusing to me. Just subscribe to a mod, open up the launcher, close the launcher and open it up again to play with your mod. As long as there's a .mod file in your documents folder, you should be able to see and click on your mod. If you can't see it after doing this, check the .mod folder and see if the path is correct.
