Add-ons that didn't make the cut, and why
I'll be blunt: This is only here because Beautify Garry's Mod has under-gone a shocking amount of change since its inception, and I want a visual way to show how much care has gone into it.

So much more of base Garry's Mod has been covered by the collection since when it was first created back on April 1st (Poor timing, I know), and a lot of good additions have been added. However, not every add-on made it to the finish line. Here's some content that has been removed, and why:

  • Extreme Graphics FULL. Extreme Graphics, under the right circumstances and settings, can look absolutely phenomenal. And it's because of that I used to highly recommended it for Beautify Garry's Mod. However, one my goals with Beautify Garry's Mod was to make as much as possible work straight out-of-the-box; With minimal fancy setups or tweaking required... Extreme Graphics fails this requirement miserably. So, to hold up Beautify Garry's Mod's integrity: It was removed.
  • Half-Life 2 HD Enhancement Project. To be blunt: It made gm_construct and parts of gm_flatgrass look terrible. Yes, it made the Half-Life 2 maps look great: But at what cost? What other maps could possibly have been made worse thanks to this add-on? That was my thinking when I decided to replace it.
  • Half-Life Alyx suitcase Replacement. It looks bad, and only covers 1-2 of the suitcases. Simple as that.
