Description
Vanilla+ mods that make you sarcastically go "Game's finally Playable now."

What started out as a personal collection turned into a quest to correct, fix, and enhance everything you can possibly imagine in this game.

Every pet peeve and nitpick you didn't even know you had has been fixed or corrected. Inconsistencies with episodes have also been fixed. Tons of textures, props and models have been enhanced as well.
All addons have been carefully selected and remain faithful to HL2's aesthetic, with the most egregious addons being at the top of the list in case you want to disable them. Performance has also been considered so even low end devices (like mine lol) can run this modpack

Huge shoutout to Wolfcl0ak, мяFunreal, THG, xdxdxd, adidores1054 for being real sticklers when it comes to details and making a large portion of the mods on here
