Just a quick update. I started my launcher just now (8:36 PM EST) to see if any mods that I subbed to earlier today actually showed in the launcher. To my surprise, a mod actually showed up! I only downloaded one mod today, and it didn't crash the launcher since I unsubscribed from a bunch of mods I didn't use.

In addition, I was messing around with some mods and I got them to show up as soon as I subscribed to them. I had been trying to get the new RHS mods to show up on the launcher for the past week, but I finally got it to sort of work. I managed to find the RHS mods (that were downloaded from the workshop) deep in my steam folder, and I deleted all of them manually. Afterwards, I resubscribed to the mods, and they showed up immediately in the launcher. However, they didn't actually download and are all marked as corrupted. From there, I deleted them and resubscribed to them. This time, it is actually downloading some of the mod (Only 2.9 GB instead of the 9.1 GB it should be downloading, the 4 RHS mods are 9.1 GB combined). I will update again once the downloads finish.
