Garry's Mod
[GM] Paranormal Events
Minimal Paranormal Events
As cool of an idea as this mod is, the default frequencies are just ridiculous. Random events and hallucinations aren't scary if they're not random because they're *constant*. For those who haven't had their attention span ruined by TikTok, here's some considerably more reasonable settings you can apply with console:

gmpa_shadow_lifetime 0.5 (Half a second. Turns the shadows into hallucinations) gmpa_max_active_ghosts 1 (Helps to prevent mind-numbingly constant spectral assault) gmpa_ghost_lifetime 5 (5 seconds maximum. More permanence than shadows without overstaying their welcome) gmpa_delay_apparition_max 600 (10 whole minutes. Maximum unpredictability) gmpa_delay_apparition_min 120 (2 minutes) gmpa_delay_event_max 300 (5 minutes) gmpa_delay_event_min 60 (1 minute) gmpa_flashlight_flicker_chance 5 (Makes the flashlight flicker rarer, hopefully giving other more meaningful events higher priority) gmpa_radius 4096 (Or 256 ft. For wide-open maps like gm_shambles, this allows the apparitions/events to appear barely visible in the distance, further increasing unpredictability and the subliminal factor)

Also here's where I shill my well-made collection of atmospheric horror add-ons, saying something like "If you like this add-on, especially with these subtler settings, then you'll love Horrify Garry's Mod" or something: Of course that would be shameless of me, so I'd never do it
