You create the mod folder in both the full game and modkit. The only time those folders are naturally created are when the workshop is used on steam. Or when you create a mod in the mod kit. Make sure you are using the designated versions for what ever version of the game you are playing on Steam version = full game. Modkit version = modkit. They are not cross compatible with each other and forcing them to load will usually result in nothing loading.
