This is a post of somebody who was scared of installing mods and want to know if they have any so they can remove them.
Heres the problem: dude thinks that half life mods work like L4D and Skyrim, where some model or sound replacement will change aspects of the default game. But we know thats not how half life mods work. Half life mods are completely separate from the default assets and are officially known as 'custom games' similar to custom maps in dota/starcraft/warcraft.
How many people do you think have this misunderstanding and causing them to stay away from hl mods? I'm guessing all the obscene mods and stuff popularized by youtoob videos may have put some ppl off to modding, perhaps.But the big problem here is that HL/HL2 mods and 'mods' of other games like skyrim mean completely different things.
