Missing Mods

This is a weird issue that started happening to me for seemingly no reason. While attempting to connect to a dedicated server I regularly play on I first got the error of a mod being out of date, despite the fact that the server mods were indeed up to date. My friends suggested I check and see if it was an issue with mods I had. So I went to my mod list and attempted to update my mods, only to have them show up as "workshop-(random numbers)" in the list, cleaning out the mod list made this worse. Now it was telling me that I was failing to download mods off of the steam workshop. So, I went into my PC via safe mode and deleted the files in both the "mods" and "cached_mods" folders. Upon reboot this fixed the first issue, but I was still booted out due to the workshop not being able to download mods. 

I don't know what the issue is anymore, is this an issue on my end or with the game? Thanks in advance for any solutions.
