The upside Is the fix Is extremely easy, and you only need to download 2 files which are free. You can also fix your GMOD Textures by purchasing Counter Strike Source.
Keep reading below for the freeGMOD Textures Download. Or watch the video below and follow along.
To start things off, we are first going to download the Counter Strike Source Textures (CSS Textures). The reason you need these are because GMOD (Garry’s Mod) runs off of the Source Engine. Most of the textures from your favorite servers are using recycled Source Textures. When you don’t have them, Garry’s Mod doesn’t know what to serve you, so It gives you an error. The link below will take you to the download page.
The download Is a bit large, so I suggest watching some Youtube as you wait for the textures to download 🙂

The second file you will be downloading are the Counter Strike Source Maps (CSS Maps). You may be experiencing error messages when trying to connect to a server stating you don’t have the necessary map files. Again, this brings us back to the Source Engine. You wont be able to load Into a server which you don’t have the map for!

How To Download Maps For Gmod
Using the map in-game
- When you start a new game in Garry's Mod (Multi-player or Single-player), your new map will appear in the map list. It normally appears in one of two places: either in the Garry's Mod map list or the Other map list.
- Even when you install your map correctly using the instructions above, it may not work correctly. The map may use textures or props that are not installed on your PC, and the only way to get these props is to have the correct games or prop packs installed.
- For Example: If you only own Garry's Mod & The Orange Box, then you will not be able to use maps that contain Counter Strike: Source props correctly. They will still load and run, but there will be error symbols doted around the map.
