Generally speaking, I try to avoid adding too many add-ons that users *have* to configure to my collections. I'm of the philosophy that collections should be about convenience above all else, so add-ons that demand tweaks or manual setup to work within the context of the collection are usually disallowed. However, I made an exception for [GM] Paranormal Events because it just fits Horrify Garry's Mod too damn well. Horrify Garry's Mod thrives on its atmosphere, world interactivity, sound design, and to a lesser extent unpredictability. One of my favorite things about this collection is how it enhances horror maps without conflicting with them (90% of the time). And this add-on accomplishes both those goals spectacularly.

However, the default settings are also egregiously bad. As in "can't walk 20ft without something happening" bad. Which is the only part of the add-on that I actually don't like. So if you also like the idea of spooky random events without them being obnoxious, here's your solution:

Copy and paste this line into the developer console:


That single line will reduce the frequency of GMPA's random events to a minimal, subtle level, to the point where you very well could play through an entire half-hour horror map without seeing everything the add-on has to offer – Which is exactly how it should be.

If you would like to know what each setting means and why I set it to what I did, read below:


I also made a similar thread with slightly different wording on the add-on's own page. It says all the same things, but if you would like to see it anyway, here it is:
