How to Extract GMOD Files

"Garry's Mod," abbreviated "GMod," is a sandbox game built on Valve's Source game engine. The game lets you download and install add-ons from the Internet and use these add-ons to create game worlds. In order to use these add-on files, however, you must extract them to the correct destination on your computer. The extraction destination for GMod files is the "addons" folder, which can be found in the "C:\" directory of your computer's hard drive.
