UPDATE: So, i think I've narrowed down my problem. Even though I have steam community enabled in-game, the little dialog box saying 'press shift + tab for steam community' or something like that isn't showing up when I stat the game.

@venusian what operating system do you have? I have Windows 8.1, and i'm thinking that may have something to do with the problem- upgrading from windows 8 caused all sorts of compatibility problems for me. Unfortunately, I can't rollback my OS anymore :sad:
UPDATE 2: I finally got it to work! Someone on the topic I opened in the steam community forums had the answer. Apparently, all I needed was this older steam loader:
OBSE isn't working with steam
