[B]This is a help thread for newbies to garrysmod so we wont have anymore help threads on installing addons.[/B]
[B]This is a simple 10-step tutorial on how to install addons from garrysmod.org[/B]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Download winrar from rarlab.com
2: Download a file of choice from garrysmod.org
3: Open the .ZIP file.
4: When winrar has opened the file, there should be a folder in it, that folder contains your addon.
5: Right click the folder and say "extract to the specified folder"
6: locate your garrysmod folder ( C:/programfiles/steam/steamapps/(yoursteamID)/garrysmod -- then open up that garrysmod folder and you will find another garrysmod folder.
7: Open the second garrysmod folder ans it should contain more folders like: addons, maps ect.
8: Click the folder corrisponding to the addon, so if your downloading props, entities ect, extract to the addons folder.
9: if you downloaded a map, extract to the maps folder.
10: Click the folder that your addon fits into and press yes.
And thats it, open up garrysmod and your addons should be there.

[I]TIP: Before you start going through folders one by one, scroll your mousewheel and it will go to the last extracted folder, like addons. Its a good timesaver.[/I]

Have Fun.
[B]Leave your questions below [/B]
If it has info.txt in it you put it in the addons folder.
If it doesn't put it in the correct folder.
If the server keeps trying to download it on addons/"gamemode"/maps, then put the maps in that folder so you don't get problems like infinite download
Lets keep bumping this, shall we?
Making this a sticky would be cool.
