How to (actually) make GMod 13 look more like GMod 11?
By themanhacc
Hate GMod13's UI?
After this tutorial your GMod will look like how you want it to look!
After almost a year of making this, I think I can finally call it done.

Works as of 02/02/2022

Method 1: The Lazy Inaccurate Method (download the skin through workshop)
If you are so lazy that you want to use this method, go ahead. But be aware that there is no guarantee that won't glitch out or even work.
Also this will not look very accurate because of the workshop limitations. But, the good thing about this method is that it will work on most servers, so use this if you play a lot of multi-player.

Method 2: The Good Method (manually installing the skin)
WARNING: Incorrectly doing this might ♥♥♥♥ your GMod and you might need to reinstall the game when you fail to install the mod.

You need WinRAR for this
This method is better because it should always work, and the skin will be much more accurate, but this won't work on most servers, as this requires the server to also have the skin installed. But it works on single-player and on some servers that have this skin installed, which 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of servers don't.

Download the skin from this link below:
www mediafire com/file/lacta47h8e5aeqt/OldGMod.rar/file
Replace the spaces with dots in the link ( i done this to prevent link removal )

After downloading, extract the rar file to
(your steam directory here)\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod
If you are asked to overwrite the files, click Yes

And now, you might be asking "why not just put this in a new folder in garrysmod\addons?"
The answer to that is that it won't work for all files, and it will look weird.

Now launch Garry's Mod and check if this works.

If yes, then you're good to go.

But if it looks ♥♥♥♥♥♥, then you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Removal process
If you hate this, or you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the installation process, there is a way to delete this.
First, open your GMod addons folder, which is in
(your steam directory here)\steamapps\common\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons
Then delete the folders that start with OldGMod

Now go to
(your steam directory here)\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials
and delete the folder
console

The final step is to open steam, open your library, right-click GMod, properties, local files, and verify integrity of game files or something, then wait 2 hours or something for it to finish, and launch GMod. If this didn't work, you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
The last method to delete this
If you are reading this, then you seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

Uninstall GMod, and delete it from your steamapps\common because steam is too lazy to do it.
Then install it again. If this didn't work, you are seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Despite that there's no new Eye Poser thing from the latest update after applying this Old Gmod mod, I am okay with the old Eye Poser. The new one is indeed convenient, but I remember using the old one, and I have no problems with it. So yea, if I want to switch to other UI mods, I can uninstall this one.
For now, I will keep this UI, cuz I like old Gmod interface for some reason.
Anyways, this mod is good! Keep it up! ^^
