Problems and Issues with updating the Mod Currently..
There's a number of problems with being able to update the mod currently and its mostly stuff that have been affecting our lives outside of this project.

My job situation for the last five years has been extremely unstable, mostly part time jobs that limited my income but I've been working hard on improving that and its bore fruit, just got far more choatic than I was expecting at the beginning of the year when I lost my job. What compounds this problem is my debts from going to college for three years (2010-2013). They have overwhelmed me and its a huge drag on my ability to stay afloat when job crises hit and it has lead to what happened this past three months.

After losing my job in January, I got behind on rent and I was sued for backed rent in late March. I won a delayed enforcement of that judgement against me to seek government assistance but that assisance was denied because I was working. So while working to get caught up, I found myself back in court in late June over debt that was significantly smaller than in March, $625 or one month's rent. The judge was on my side but because the plantiff had a case and cause, couldn't just throw their petition out and to much regret with the Judge issued a judgement against me that was intended to be delayed one week. Unfortunately, the landlord did not grant me a one week extension and immediately sought my eviction. So I had to do something fast and I did, I put the mod into hidden view and made emergency plans to vacate. It required considerable expense to move my stuff into storage and make arrangements to live with other people and have my two cats fostered but it was accomplished. Things should be alright, I'm still employed and have good reason to believe that I can get caught up in my immediate debts (my student loans are on deferment until May) so things can get back into some sort of stability.

The mod is being unhidden now to allow people to play it again (hidden mods are removed from people not part of the mod team on the Steam Workshop, so that's why it disappeared for everybody). But please be mindful this situation has been a long one for me to get through, most of the problems I've had spanned even before I started this project in late 2012. I've kept at it because its been something I've really liked doing and it keeps me busy when otherwise I might be bored.

I am really looking forward to getting back into stability, but its going to require lots of hard work and it might bring more set backs, but understand that things are going to continue with the mod and even some other projects I want to implement in the future.

I once joked to @Gr1f that I have been living life at -1 stability, its not the best but it not the worst and is still doable as many good players have learned to cope. So I look forward to getting back into the positive. Just takes lots of gradual investing into stablity (for those who never played EU3, stability was gained in the month investment sliders in the economy tab instead of monarch power and its rather apt in this situation).

Oh, man. I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm in a bit of a similar situation now, though without the debt but a less secure income, so I really feel for you. I love the mod, and have been meaning to play it again sometime soon, since it's been awhile, but obviously this mod isn't as important as your own well-being, so I understand, and hope everyone else does too. Do what you can to get your life in a better position and we'll still be here.

If you ever feel the need to talk about anything, feel free to hit me up.
I feel bad for you man. I hope you get stability in your life, and that you get your debts sorted. :)

I feel ya man, this ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't be happening if Trump was President
Hey man, I'm a huge fan of the mod. Really sucks about what happened. That kind of ♥♥♥♥ shouldn't happen to anyone. I'd throw 100 ADM your way if I could. Good luck.
