Description
This collection brings together all of the best mods to increase L4D2's visual experience. The key texture packs needed for this can not be found in the workshop, so you must download them from the links provided. Once you have installed those, all you have to do is hit the "Subscribe to all" button to get the rest (all mods have been tested to work together). I didn't include many weapon mods at this time because I believe that to be based on player preference, but I have placed a link to a nice collection of weapons to get you started though. I will be adding more mods to this list as time goes on, and please message me any recommendations that you may have! Thank You!

All mods belong to their respected creators!


To install, just download the .vpk file and drop it into your
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons folder. DO NOT put it in the warkshop folder, that is only for subscribed workshop mods

1. Realism Mod Pack 1: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=15875
This is the main mod pack that retextures most of the objects and trash in the game making it much more realistic. It includes many other texture mods that you see here in the workshop like lasermax boxes, coke soda machines, jerrycans, and much more.

(You may be asking what happened to mod packs 2, 3, and 4 after this one. Those packs cover retextures of things like zombie skin, blood, paintings, etc. that I believe are better done by mods below in the subscribe section.)

2. Realism Mod Pack 5: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=16433
This pack retextures the vehicles through out L4D2.

3. All Weapons Reanimated Pack: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=14963
This pack includes all of Arby26's awesome weapon reanimations except pistols, so go choose your favorite pistol replacement mod. This does not include weapon skins.
NOTE: If you download any weapon skins then that weapon(s) will default back to valves animation or the animation that may be included in the weapon skin mod. (I believe Doktor uses Arby26's animations in most of his weapon mods anyways)

4. SweetFX/ReShade: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/game/68/
Install a profile of your choice, or customize your own to give L4D2 a drastic graphics upgrade.


Now just hit the "Subscribe to all" button and you are finished!
