Where to find mods?

There are many Half-Life 2 Mods on different sites.

ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ꜱɪᴛᴇꜱ ɪ ʀᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅ:

Also you can find some on steam.

Some Mod Recommendations:

MMOD
Cinematic Mod
SMOD Redux

Those are some mods that are really fun and enjoyable.

Where to put the mods!

First go to "My PC" then "Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (with numbers) > Steam > steamapps > common > Half-life 2 > hl2" Then create a file and call it "Custom" Then put your mods into there.

For Some Mods (For example MMOD) you will have to put the files into "Steam > steamapps > sourcemods" And then Restart Steam. (can be found at the top left of your screen)

Sometimes the creator will put a text document called "readme" or something like that. Those are the instructions. If stuck read them, they could answer some questions more than this guide can.

But if your downloading mods that are reskins or something, you wont need to put them into "sourcemods" just in "custom".

Hope this Guide helped you and Have a Nice Day.

Enjoy.

Enjoy and Have a Great Day <3
