Hello and welcome to my installation guide for Garry’s Mod 10/11. This guide is to show you how to get Garry’s Mod 11 without the need to have Steam installed, and obviously you will get it for free as well. Garry’s Mod is a sandbox mod running on the Source engine. Unlike many other games, Garry’s Mod does not have any predefined goals or aims. You are given tools and objects, and with these objects, you can build whatever you like. You could perhaps create a catapult from light poles and dumpsters, or maybe a car from a door and wheels. You can also pose models for things such as comics (comics are pretty big in the Garry’s Mod community). Garry’s Mod (in my opinion) is one of the best games out there because the possibilities are limitless. There a thousands of mods and maps for Garry’s Mod to expand your options.

Installing Garry’s Mod 11
The torrent contained 4 files, all .rar files. There should game, garroted, G CF, tools.
This is sort of a long process. You will need to follow every step carefully.
Modding and Ad-dons
When you downloaded the torrent, you got a folder called garroted. This folder contains Ad dons and other things you can add into the game if you would like. To add these things to your game, open the garroted folder and select all the contents of it. Cut (you can copy but it will take a while) and paste all these folders inside of your garroted folder. This folder is found in your Game folder, the one that you probably renamed. You will know if it works.
New ad dons can be found on different websites around the web. Try fps banana.com or mod db.com. You cannot use the major modding website because it requires you to prove you own Garry’s Mod 11 before you can download mods. That website is garroted.org.
Installing ad dons is very easy, just drop them into your Garroted > Ad dons folder.

Installing Garry’s Mod 11
The torrent contained 4 files, all .rar files. There should game, garroted, G CF, tools.
This is sort of a long process. You will need to follow every step carefully.
- Extract ALL of the .rar files. It doesn’t matter where you extract them to, as long as you have access to them.
- Game is the actual game itself, it contains the Source engine and all the files you need for Garry’s Mod. Inside of the Game folder should be several different things. Ignore everything except for the Garry’s Mod 11 Shortcut.
- The shortcut is broken, so you will need to fix it. It originally points to the D: drive (loll) and it needs to be pointed to your hl2.axe file. You need to move your whole Game folder to wherever you want its permanent location to be. The best place would probably be in your Program Files or Program Files (x86) in your C: drive, but it’s up to you.
- Once you have cut and pasted it to where you want it, rename the Game folder to something like G mod or Garroted. Try not to use any symbols when renaming it.
- Open up your newly renamed Game folder. Now we need to fix that shortcut. Right click on the
Garry’s Mod 11 Shortcut and then click Properties. A box should come up. - You should automatically be on the Shortcut tab. Next to target, it should point to something crazy like in your D: drive or something. Erase that. You need to direct it to your hl2.exes file. It should be in your Game folder. After you have it targeted, add this onto the end of it. Make sure there is a space: -steam -game garroted -app id 4001
- That’s it! Now you shortcut should be working correctly and Garry’s Mod 11 should launch. You can move this shortcut out of the Game folder and place it elsewhere now.
