crusader kings 2 steam workshop mods not downloading

(FIXED / SOLVED) Thank you so much, I spent 90 minutes trying so many other things and this is the only thing that worked for me. Haven't had this fail a single time for me yet

Restart the game once every mod has appeared in the mod list (in the launcher).

Double check that they are in fact appearing under mods, but unable to activate them.

Unsubscribe to the mods not downloading.

Just something on the Steam side? Just guessing because that's all what I can do at this point. I have yet to try external Workshop downloader but I wouldn't want to try this as I want officially supported way and if the Workshop has been implemented to Steam it should work.

To add - at least in the past (I haven't tried it recently) I didn't have any issues with Stellaris or HoI4 mods from Workshop, they worked instantly. I know there is a thread somewhere in the discussion about a procedure what to follow but issue is now that the downloads won't even start. I haven't been able to initiate a single mod download. However I still don't have everything what I have subscribed from the Workshop.

Last night I had success with this method and I was able to download couple of mods. I have tried subscribing then restarting Steam in administrator mode - then unsubscribing and subscribing again and then waiting for few minutes. I have created 'mod' directory into my /documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings 2/ and I'm sure that I have read and write permissions there as well. If I restart Steam the download is gone and nothing happens. If it does initiate it, it shows up in downloads but doesn't progress at all. I have an issue when I subscribe a mod from Workshop it doesn't initiate the download.
