I've subscribed to couple mods for Skyrim but none of them are downloading and don't appear in my game, if there any way i can get them to install manually?

Thanks in advance.

Wrong forum mate, might want to try asking this in Gaming, I'm sure this will be moved if you're a little patient.

Are you sure the mods haven't downloaded at all?

If they downloaded really quickly (as some aren't very big files) but you didn't notice, have you enabled them in the 'Data Files' section of the launcher (or are they entirely absent from the 'Data Files' list)?

The mods should appear in the 'Data Files' list as .esm files which you need to check. By default the Skyrim.esm file is always loaded, but if you've downloaded the mods correctly you should see "modname".esm on the list as well and you need to check them to enable them.

They don't appear in data files at all. How do I get them to?

Well, that would suggest they're not downloading at all.

If everything is running correctly, they should download and automatically be added to the 'Data Files' list, so there could just be a problem with the servers on Valve's end.

All I can suggest is try restarting Steam but if that doesn't fix it, then all you can do is wait until later for the servers to sort themselves out.

This is assuming that it is a problem with the servers on Valve's end. Steam Workshop has always been a straightforward and automatic processes for me, so my troubleshooting experience doesn't really extend beyond it not working on their end.
