Description
RUN. THINK. SHOOT. LIVE.
Ultimate Vanilla+

Installation:

Mods should be in the same order in the game (subscribe from bottom to top one by one)

4X AI Textures by deeppurple1968 are optional but recommended (54 GB)
Use only the 4X AI texture mod for the specific game you are currently playing. For example, if you are currently playing HL2 EP1, then the mods for HL2 and HL2 EP2 should be disabled in game, because otherwise some textures may look incorrect.

Optional RU fixes:
