VeF Does Not Show Up in Steam
If VeF does not show up in the game launcher after subscribing, play in vanilla for 10 to 15 minutes then quit EUIV and Steam and restart. That is usually sufficient to have Steam process it.

If that does not fix it, the following procedure will reset the download


 * 1) Unsubscribe from the mod
 * 2) Quit Steam
 * 3) Remove vef.mod and vef.zip from your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis IV/mod folder (if they exist)
 * 4) Navigate to the Steam folder in your Program Files (on Windows) or LIbrary/Application Support (on Mac). In the 'userdata' folder, find any reference to vef, vef.zip or vef.mod and delete them. Usually they are in a numbered folder, then in a numbered folder, then a folder called 'remote' then in a folder called 'mod'.
 * 5) Start Steam and subscribe to tbe mod.
 * 6) Play in vanilla for 10 to 15 minutes
 * 7) Quit EUIV and Steam and re-launch
