so good news and bad news

the good news is, for those like me who frekin adore those cats, i found a way to get them to work in Garry's mod, the bad news is its confusing

How to convert these models to gmod :

step 1
you'll need to install Source film-maker once to officially download, subscribing wont put them in the game files. you need to add them to sfm after booting it.



step 2
go to D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SourceFilmmaker\game\workshop
(D:\ OR C:\ depending what drive you use.)

-make sure that you don't have any other addons for sfm installed, unless you know what your
doing.



step 3
check for two folders inside workshop.

do you see two folders MATERIALS MODELS.
if so, create a new folder, name it anything you want for example i named mine -EOTL TEST MODELS- . place the material and models folders into the new folder you created. (ignore metadata you don't need this for gmod)



step 4
so assuming you've done everything correctly, you should have a folder with two sub-folders called materials and models, named to your liking.

now to ad this to gmod, right click on gmod through your steam library you want to look for MANAGE - BROWSE LOCAL FILES. you should see a folder similarly called
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod

you should see a folder in all lowercase called garrysmod, open this. you should see alot of folders. seek "ADDONS" place the folder you created earlier into it . the one with materials and models. boot gmod and look for the models in the search, or use the recommended addon extender that will be linked below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

if it works, you should have effects. not models, this is normal, its just how sfm models be, you will need the following addon as a MUST HAVE in order to play with any of the new models,

Advanced bone tool:

it takes some time to get used to, but it allows you to freely pose all joints and bones.


Extended Spawnmenu:

if you managed to get the models correctly ported, look for LEGACY ADDONS below your normal addons folder. they should be in there.

MUST HAVE:

Effect to Prop tool , allows for the models to function properly

OPTIONAL ADDONS FOR HELP:
Sub Material:
if your like me, and you Frankenstein models, this is for you. it allows you to mix up different materials, an example is me having a black cat with blue eyes. the default black cat has green eyes. this fixed that for me

Easy Bodygroup Tool:

just makes changing skins easier
