It contains all the best classic and improvement addons that work (I tested everything) and don't conflict with each other (if you install correctly) and also doesn't require many steps to install except just moving stuff to custom folder (you have to do this anyway, BM workshop is broken forever I guess) and without some excesses like HL1 Xen, HL1 blood or HL1 HECU voices that just feels inconsistent with the game. There's also some sweet additions that adds more enemies on Xen levels and make some zombies more dangerous to make your (half) life a bit harder.
If you have any trouble, leave a comment or a discussion.


These are folders that you will need to operate with:
*:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890
*:\Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\custom

1. Unsubscribe from all your addons and clear 362890 and custom folders to avoid any conflicts.

2. Subscribe to the collection and wait it to download everything.

3. Go to 362890 folder, there should be 124 folders. If there are less, then some addons are failed to download, scroll down to last paragraph.

4. In 362890 folder, open search and type ".vpk". After all files are found, select them all and drag to custom folder. ATTENTION! You will be asked to replace files, press LET ME DECIDE FOR EACH FILE and find !0A_Aggressive_Improved_Romka_HECU_Zombie that has size of ≈1.74 MB, check the box on it and press continue.

5. In the custom folder, delete these files:
!!!Avila Aggro Zombie
!!!Avila HLA Headcrab Zomb
!!!Avila Juniez HEV Fusion
!!BMCE Avila Basic Char_Manifest file
!0A_Aggressive_BMCE_2022_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_BMCE_Civilian_Zombies
!0A_Aggressive_BMCE_Classic_Guards&Ties_Civilian_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_BMCE_Classic_Guards&Ties_Security_Guard_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_HECU_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_HEV_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_Improved_Classic_Vest_Fixed_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_Original_HEV_Improvements_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_Scientist_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_Security_Guard_Zombie
!0A_Aggressive_Updated_Player_HEV_Zombie
!HEV Avila BMCE R HECU Realism Expanded models
1_Zombie_Grunt_Torso_Default
2_Zombie_Grunt_Torso_Classic

6. Rename !HEV Avila ARequired to HEV Avila ARequired
Rename classic_guard_(classic_headcrab) to !classic_guard_(classic_headcrab)

7. Unsubscribe from all addons. It has to be done because Steam at some point can redownload addons into 362890 folder and it will cause conflicts and errors.

The next steps are optional, but kinda important for the experience.

8. Open *:\Steam\steamapps\common\Black Mesa\bms\cfg\autoexec.cfg with notepad.

9. Paste there the following lines:
10. Note that weapon bobbing settings are framerate dependant (bobbing speed changes proportionally to fps), so you need a stable framerate for this. Set fps_max according to your monitor's refresh rate and overall performance.

11. Change cl_bobcycle value according to your fps_max.
60fps - cl_bobcycle 0.13
72fps - cl_bobcycle 0.11
120fps - cl_bobcycle 0.07
144fps - cl_bobcycle 0.05
240fps - cl_bobcycle 0.035

12. Make sure you have Always running option disabled

13. Enjoy
(Don't forget to start from Hazard Course, it's really good)



You can also paste these lines to increase the max number of ragdolls and gibs:



-If you have weapon bobbing enabled and use the satchel, the weapons will start to wobble rapidly. Quick save and load to fix.

Verify integrity of game files, it should redownload missing addons. If it didn't work, then delete this file: *:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\appworkshop_362890.acf and restart Steam. After that it should redownload all addons properly.
