Troubleshooting Beautify Garry's Mod
I've tested Beautify Garry's Mod quite a lot (Yes, I have the full 4-5 GB collection downloaded), and I can definitely confirm that there are certain add-ons included - and not included - that can cause problems in-game, ranging wildly in severity. These will be listed below, and solutions to these issues, ranging from messing around with add-on settings to simply picking favorites.


Please share any issues you find, and I'll try to help with them to the best of my abilities, and the problem/solution(s) will be listed here in-order of most important to least. With any luck: These issues may be patched with time, but that's unlikely, hence why this is here :)

  • Beautify Garry's Mod can cause certain maps to run very poorly or crash. Try to remember: Beautify Garry's Mod remasters a LOT of Garry's Mod's core assets, and certain maps can be very un-optimized as is (Not to mention this is still the Source Engine). If this problem affects you: It's more then likely a CPU issue. I recommend running the game on the x86 branch, enabling multi-core if applicable (Which it should be), lowering certain settings in Lifemod (If you installed it), and/or installing Improved Object Render or GodSentTools GPU Saver

  • A lot of textures are black, my viewmodel is invisible, textures scaled incorrectly, etc. All of these kinds of issues are caused by Garry's Mod's buggy enabling/disabling system. Simply restart the game and everything should function normally.

  • Shooting certain high-quality models with Litegibs can cause the game to crash, including with some of the models found in the collection(!). This can usually be fixed by going into Litegibs and turning off "Enable wounds" and "Enable live wounds" - These can cause serious lag when the model is too high-quality.
  • The game lags after too-many NPC's have died. This is just G-mod being old and janky with its ragdoll physics. If you're having these issues, I highly recommend downloading VLT's corpse cleaner and adjusting it accordingly.
  • The "HL2 Style Half-Life Alyx Fast Headcrab" texture gets corrupted in certain instances. I have 0 idea why this happens, and I'm still trying to figure it out. If this happens to you: I recommend just disabling the re-texture in favor of a different one.
  • The [xdR] CS:GO animations can break thirdperson animations with certain weapon bases. Once again, no solutions here - Pick a favorite.
  • Smooth Camera causes the players view to spasm whenever the game lags. This has been a long-standing issue with the add-on, and I can't do anything to fix it. Sorry. I recommend either trying to reduce lag spikes however possible, or just disabling the add-on if it gets too-bad.
  • Enhanced Water causes lua errors on certain maps. Just disable it. It doesn't add too-much to the collection, so why not?
  • Using Enhanced Camera and Mighty Foot Engaged together causes you to have 3-4 legs. There are no solutions here - It's up to you to pick a favorite.
  • [Any sound-related issues] If you're having any sound related problems: These can likely either be fixed with a game restart, or can be blamed on Dynamic Sound. This add-on can be buggy at times, especially on 32-bit Garry's Mod, but when it works: It's a very nice touch. If you're having audio issues: Just disable Dynamic Sound.
  • Being grabbed by a barnacle now causes the players view and aim get de-synced, causing you to have to manually aim at the barnacle without knowing where your aim is. Frankly: This is the coolest bug of all-time, and I don't want it to get fixed.

That's an error that happens to certain users when first installing Extreme Graphics. It can be fixed by messing around in the add-ons' settings, particularly with the ugly "Blue filter" and "Color.ambient.occlusion" options

Can I get a link to the map(s) this happens on, please? Or was it just Flatgrass or Construct?

Interesting. I added a section at the top of the list of problems for this issue, but to be honest? I think this is more of the Source Engine showing its age and not being able to handle all the HD glory of Beautify Garry's Mod.

I recommend following the instructions I left, and doing whatever else possible to improve CPU performance in-game. Thanks, and have fun :steamthumbsup:

It's very likely due to either Litegibs, or something similar you have installed/enabled (If anything). I recommend just toying around with any add-ons that affect how NPC's behave and add-ons that affect damage and seeing if that fixes it. If none of that works: I have no clue what else to try
