++UPDATE REV6 (9.17.23) Man, what a year. Anyway, be sure you try out the new bot changes (or install Left 4 Bots 2, I haven't thoroughly tested it with Competitive Bots which is why it's not on here.) Some of the Special Infected models just disappear during game play so there's new models for the Smoker and Hunter until I find a decent replacement. UI has been modified heavily to give a 'refreshed' but familiar feel with nextHUD and new loading screens. Animations have been changed for most vanilla weapons, I'll leave the texture choice to the player.

Finally added a seperate collection for custom maps that I've played as both a bucket list and as personal recommendations. Eventually, I make more sub-collections for animations, Infected skins, and HUDs to choose from.

++UPDATE REV5 (1.12.23): Happy belated New Year! I've went ahead and replaced some weapon animations as well as their textures to be more in-line with the vanilla game. Any prior weapon texture additions will be added to a separate collection for players to choose from. The same goes for any Survivor skins / models and custom campaigns. Once those are set up, they will be linked in this collection.

++UPDATE REV4 (11.21.22): Added Competitive Bots, Competitive Infected, and Ion's Vocalizer. Refer to the video here, which showcases the mod and gives you a tutorial to allow Left 4 Bots to work with Competitive Bots ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN5ej9PUskw

More custom campaigns added. Reworked the grenade launcher and vanilla CSS snipers, the Steyr Scout has been replaced by the Remington M24 and the AWP has been switched to the Accuracy International AWM (almost identical to the AWP in aesthetic).

All weapon and survivor skins / retextures will eventually be moved out into their own collections which will be linked here for users to mix and match.

A horror game inspired collection of mods to give it a spooky feel while retaining most of the core, vanilla experience of Valve's Left 4 Dead 2. Meant for friends to download and play but now available for all Steam users to check out:

Under extensive play and some items subject to change but with similar aesthetic / game-play in mind.

Whilst I have provided an alternate menu theme in this collection, I recommend manually installing the animated backgrounds and sounds from this mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2852008483
It's as simple as backing up .blk files within your left4dead2 folder and overwriting with the mod's .blk. More in-depth instructions in the workshop page but I HIGHLY advise that you do. It's good.

I make sure to force AA and AF through NVIDIA Control Panel, Leave Vsync as is (on or off through the in-game menu).

If experiencing stutters or game crashing, try rebuilding audio cache from within the Extras option within the main menu and set shaders to LOW or MEDIUM. Visual fidelity is only slightly sacrificed (if at all) but it's not at all noticeable during game-play.

Thank you for checking out my collection.
