I also don't want to be chasing updates and having to manually re-download them. Steam keeps on top of this and saves me time and effort.

For that matter, if you play on multiple computers it keeps your saves AND mods synched across all of them.

meowmeow, I know you don't want to put this on steam workshop. That's totally understandable. However, would you be opposed to someone doing it for you so long as they made it very clear who the real author of the mod is and link back to this forum thread?

I have this issue as well.  Linux Mint 18.3, Nvidia GTX 660Ti (yes, I know its an old card) running the proprietary driver series 387.xx (not on that machine atm, so I can't look up the minor version number). Was previously on 384 which did the same thing. I was on 390 for a bit, but rolled back for other reasons. I think it did it on that version as well. Verified steam cache, turned off all mods, etc.
