This will sound stupid, but how do I play Gmod maps?

Like I have no idea how to find them or where to play them. Also does anyone want to play them together? I'm sure I will need a lot of help.

pretty easy actually

You go to the Workshop to find them and download them. Be sure to filter it by maps over on the far right side with the bunch of checkmark boxes.
Alternatively, you can search for a map with the search bar, if the map exists.

after they download, you'll hit "Singeplayer Game" and browse the maps list. Some maps are categorized into different tabs. Some have preview images, some don't.


DO NOTE:
Some maps require content from other Source Engine games like CounterStrike: Source, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, etc. Most maps usually have a description saying if they need other games for it to work properly. You could still play the maps without the games installed, but you'll get a bunch of missing textures and error signs scattered around the map.

Thanks for telling me about that. Where do I find the Workshop?

Great thanks. Would you want to play together sometime?

Do I have to buy the Garry's Mod game before I can access the games? Because that page just shows me a bunch of add on's.

Unless I've misread this post you've asked how to play maps made for a game you don't own.

technically as long as you pay for it before you leave the store, you can drink the milk before you buy it
