The modifications chosen to be in this list have been considered very carefully. Doesn't have any bloat. This is not made for the Episodes.


The One-Click Wonder

(Make sure to erase/delete your workshop.cfg in your \steamapps\common\Half-Life 2\hl2_complete\cfg before applying the modifications in order to load in correctly.)
