Troubleshooting

Civ 5 mod folder
In general, the Civ V Steam Workshop is notoriously bad when it comes to installing mods reliably. Deleting your cache folder in My GamesSid Meier's Civilization 5 usually does the trick, as this will force the game to redownload all your currently subscribed mods (this does not affect your saves). If that fails (or redownloading ALL your mods doesn't appeal to you), manual installation is your best bet.

Civ V does not officially support modded multiplayer, but there are some workarounds (see below). However, I cannot guarantee that my mods work in MP and attempting to do so is at your own risk.
