Model & Prop Addons
The Garry's Mod Steam Workshop is brimming with Model and Prop addons, offering an almost limitless supply of objects to populate your worlds, enhance your creations, and bring your wildest ideas to life. These addons range from individual character models and vehicles to massive collections of themed props.
Models and props are the visual building blocks of Garry's Mod. They are the objects you spawn, pose, and interact with to create scenes, build contraptions, or engage in gameplay. The variety available through addons is staggering, encompassing everything from realistic military hardware and iconic video game characters to fantastical creatures and abstract geometric shapes.
When searching for model and prop addons, consider the theme or purpose you have in mind. Are you building a futuristic city? You'll want sci-fi props and vehicles. Creating a historical scene? Look for period-accurate models. Many addons are collections, offering a wide array of related items, which can be more efficient than downloading individual props.
Types of Model & Prop Addons
| Addon Type | Description |

Always check addon descriptions for required content (e.g., if a prop pack requires a specific game like Half-Life 2) and for any known issues or conflicts. Properly managing your downloaded models and props is key to maintaining good performance.
