.
Scroll down and download the latest version of the MMOD (at the time of writing it was v1.1):
.
Right click on the downloaded .zip file and choose ‘Extract All’ and hit enter on your keyboard to extract the file:
5. Install MMOD
In the downloaded ‘Release_1.1.3’ folder, go in to ‘Release 1.1’, and then in to ‘HL2MModv1.1’ and copy all 6 folders from this folder:
.
Go back to your Steam library, right click on ‘Half Life 2’ and choose ‘Properties’:

Click on ‘Local Files’ and then ‘Browse Local Files’:
.
Click on the ‘steamapps’ folder:
.
Go in to the ‘sourcemods’ folder:

Note:
Sourcemods folder and all HL2 games have to be installed on same hard drive.
If you don’t see a sourcemods folder you can just create one yourself, that will work fine.
.
IF you have Steam installed on one drive, but games library on other drive then mmods won’t show up after restart, here’s solution:
1. Exit steam
2. IMPORTANT: Delete sourcemods folder from steam client folder
3. Hit Windows key on keyboard and type ‘cmd’, then right click command prompt and choose ‘Run as Administrator’
4. Type: mklink /J ‘the location you have Steam and sourcemods folder’ ‘the location of your sourcemods folder on the drive your games are installed on’
Sample: mklink /J “C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappssourcemods” “D:SteamLibrarysteamappssourcemods”
Hit enter on your keyboard
.
RESTART STEAM!!
I’ll say again, RESTART STEAM!!
