In Garry's Mod, there are addons; some of which are legacy (.zip files that you can download off garrysmod.com) or workshop files (anything with .gma).

I've downloaded some addons, most of which are from the workshop. On my main account, all the addons work fine and they work as per normal.. However, when I switch over to my alternate (on the same computer, but different account), all my downloaded addons seems to have stopped working.

Is there any way to force GMod to load all the addons in the garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/.. folder? Even if you didn't subscribe to it?
.. Or subscribe automatically to them all?

The unsubscribed addons will load as long as you're in offline mode on Steam. When you're in offline mode, Steam does this wonderful thing it should always do, and forgets which addons you are subscribed to, or not; and loads every single file you have in your addons folder.

WARNING: if you have 200+ addons with a lot of custom content, you will want to remove some addons before you try and launch in offline mode because like I said Gmod will load everything you've ever subscribed or unsubscribed to and haven't physically deleted from the addons folder yourself.

You must put them in as a folder and make sure that the folder has an addon.txt file inside of it. If it does, whenever you start Garry's Mod, the addon should load.

For .gma Files:Put those into your addons folder since subscribing to an addon just puts the GMA file into your addon folder and restart your game. OR. Use a GMAd converter to turn a folder into a .gma or a .gma into a folder.

If you extract the gma file it should load even if your in online in gmodTo extract the gma file, go into the gmod folder and click on the bin folder, then you should find gmad, find you gma addon and drag it on the gmad icon, then it should start extracting it, you should see the extract file of where your gma file washope it help

Now for the addons you can get the addons from www.garrysmod.org they are all free and you dont need to buy them..i wont go into too much detail about how to install complicated files..but i will show how to install the basic but most needed ones, the most needed ones in my opinion are the pheonix storms premium models pack..as they open up loads more materials to create things with.
When you first go onto garrysmod.org you will notice a big square filled with lots of different words, these are tags and you can just click on one and it will take you to all the files associated with that word..this saves time typing :) there is also a search box where you can search for addons.
Just below the tag box, there are two columns, one labeled latest..and one labeled popular
these show the latest addons people have added to garrysmod.org and the most popular (most downloaded) addons..these are helpful because you instantly know what new addons have been added to the site.
To download an addon, just click on the addon you want from the list..and then click the download box.
