Gmod Addons Won't Load

It will work just fine in gmod right from there, because this repo is orgnized exactly like a Gmod Legacy Addon. You can make changes directly right there, test them in gmod automatically (lua auto-reload ftw), and then push them up into git. Legacy addon = addon that isn't on workshop. Workshop addons are better because they don't slow down loadtimes. Interior design sample boards. Each legacy addon you have installed adds to the overall loadtimes. Plus workshop addons are updated automatically. And installed automatically. The legacy addon system is only there because people would bitch if it wasn't. If it does, whenever you start Garry's Mod, the addon should load. For.gma Files: Put those into your addons folder since subscribing to an addon just puts the GMA file into your addon folder and restart your game. Use a GMAd converter to turn a folder into a.gma or a.gma into a folder.

Now for the addons you can get the addons from www.garrysmod.org they are all free and you dont need to buy them..i wont go into too much detail about how to install complicated files..but i will show how to install the basic but most needed ones, the most needed ones in my opinion are the pheonix storms premium models pack..as they open up loads more materials to create things with.
When you first go onto garrysmod.org you will notice a big square filled with lots of different words, these are tags and you can just click on one and it will take you to all the files associated with that word..this saves time typing :) there is also a search box where you can search for addons.
Just below the tag box, there are two columns, one labeled latest..and one labeled popular
these show the latest addons people have added to garrysmod.org and the most popular (most downloaded) addons..these are helpful because you instantly know what new addons have been added to the site.
To download an addon, just click on the addon you want from the list..and then click the download box.
