Most weapons and stuff extract into C:\Steam\Steamapps\Username\Garrysmod\Garrysmod\addons

Maps, check whats inside the zip or rar. If there is only a bsp file, pt it into
C:\Steam\Steamapps\Username\Garrysmod\Garrysmod\maps
but some maps go into addons.

First, go into the main folder inside the .Rar/Zip, if there is an info.txt file inside open it, if on the top line it says "Add-on" it goes in add-ons, if the top line says "Gamemode" it goes in Gamemodes, otherwise put them in the folder you think they go in, e.g if it's a map WITHOUT a folder inside the .rar/zip put it in maps (e.g just a .bsp file)

Matierials go in.... Do I have to answer that?

Sounds go in Sounds (Durr)

You get the idea

Why can't anyone just examine the folder structure and think logically?

It's a tad more complicated than that as pointed out in my post, some files have info.txt files in them that show where they go, but otherwise you wouldn't know, and sometimes you put maps inside the Add-ons folder

Look at this!

Not really. Models go in the models folder, maps in maps folder.

I struggled for a while until I read about doing it on FP :V
