Description
Welcome to my Half Life 2 workshop collection!
I made this so that anyone who wants to update their graphics, without loosing their original look, can do so easily just by using this collection.
Now, i tried to change every huge aspect about the game: models, textures, weapons and effects.
After more mods come to the HL 2 workshop, this collection is subject to change.

I also included a day version of Ravenholm, as a little misc bonus, for those who want to experience something different.

Since i made this collection, a whole bunch of new mods appeared and others got removed aswell. I added quite a few new mods in the last couple of days ( new cubemaps for the hands, lens flare, new vortigaunts and RNG citizens, among others )

Enjoy !

P.S: I see that the captions dont appear anymore on the screen. I did some digging and found out this is because of the way the workshop works ( if there are too many addons, the captions glitch out ). If that isnt the case, inform me which mod causes that trouble.
