Mod issue

[Higlac]

I'm having some problems installing mods into gmod. Some of them, such as phx pack, work fine. Others I have installed, but will not open in gmod. They are not listed in the mods list and I can't get to them in gmod. Do I have to create my own spawn lists or what? Also I can't figure out how to install any sweps.

Can anyone help?

Edit: I don't know if this will help, but I run gmod 10, I don't know if there is a file difference or what.

Gmod 9 addons don't work for 10.

I know that^^, but I have teh gmod 10 versions, and put them in my addons folder and they don't show up in the addons screen in gmod.

Yes they do.

All addons come in a folder containing maps, models, materials, sounds, settings, scripts, lua, data etc. and info.txt. ALWAYS info.txt.

So for example if your trying to install stargate mod, you extract the folder 'stargate' into garrysmod/addons, now open it, if you see a few folders and an info.txt you installed it correctly, however, someone might have put that stargate folder inside another folder, so you extract, for example, a folder called SGmod instead, you go to open that folder you just put in addons, now hopefully the folder stargate is in there, see above.

Bottom line make sure you have a folder with the name of the addon, and inside an info.txt.

PS: I said folder too many times.
