Portal 2 Chairs Pack

Portal 2 is a game where you spend a lot of time running, shooting portals, and avoiding incoming gunfire. But have you ever just wanted to stop, and take a break? Take a load off your feet for a while? There's loads of chairs around in Aperture, long-forgotten by the posteriors that once sat upon them. At most usually holding the occasional box, nowadays. So why don't you warm 'em up, and, as is often said in meetings about taking things too literally… take a seat?

This addon features 12 (13) chairs from Portal 2, for ease-of-access, with most of them having been fixed up a bit for better use! (If you want to make these functional entities, be my guest)

Portal 2 has a lot of really nice decorative props. And The Stanley Parable very much shares that sentiment, using a lot of Portal 2's office props, some altered to fit the setting better. So why not make them easier to use in Garry's Mod?

All models originally made by Valve for Portal 2--I only altered them for functionality purposes.

I also thought about at least making it so you needed Portal 2 for the textures, because, you know, fairness, and all that, but for a pack of chairs? Unsure if that's necessary. So I included them. If you think I shouldn't have included them, sound off in the comments, and I guess I'll remove them from the addon and make it so you have to mount Portal 2 to get the textures. I dunno.
