I have read and followed the troubleshooting tips in the "Help & Support" thread and I still can't get Gmod to recognize any addons I've downloaded. Any of them with the info.txt files I have added to the directory specified in the thread noted above. PHX is the addon I NEED the most.
Any help would be greatly apprechiated.
Does the whole addon file need to be within the Gmod folders or is it just the info.txt files?
I have tried several different ways and everytime it is as if I never downloaded them.
Sorry for the poor explanations, I'm pretty new to PC gaming and you guys use such confusing terminology.
Thanks
EDIT:
What is my avatar meant to be? I can see the sunglasses but what is wearing them? (Just for giggles)

You need the whole addon folder.
For example, with PHX3 you would have something like [i]addons/phx3/info.txt[/i] and [i]addons/phx3/models/<bunch of files>[/i] and some other folders into [i]addons/phx3/[/i]. The [i]addons[/i] folder is located into your Steam/steamapps/[i]<youraccount>[/i]/Garrysmod/garrysmod/ folder.

I think it's a dog ass with sunglasses on. I saw someone on this forum having it zoomed out.

no we don't it's just console types use such basic terminology :saddowns:
Anyway, the entire folder goes in addons. Unless there isn't an info.txt, in which case you merge the "models" and "materials" or whatever folders with their counterparts in steamapps/username/garrysmod/garrysmod
Thanks both of you, you have solved my problems.
If you're ever in the South of England let me know and I shall buy you a pint.
