Step 1: Subscribe to mod on steam workshop

Step 2: DO NOTHING

Step 3: Launch game (launcher window should open)
- 3.5: Select mod from list on left

Step 4: DO NOTHING

Step 5: Click Start. DO NOT CLICK MOD MANAGER!!!!!

Most guides I found were telling people to move files and mess around with resources.
I found that the workshop mods download in the proper folder and format. I also found that by opening mod manager or trying to do anything with the files they seem to have a certain chance of not working properly, so I have avoided any interference on my part to the files.

I am now able to play all the mods I have installed, and the key would seem to be "DO NOTHING"

Hope this helps.
Enjoy
