    I guess I'll install it, and delete the new ugly models and find some new HD classic ones.

    Characters look like they've been designed by a horny 14year old. Shame really because otherwise this would be great.

    Closed all Steam apps as instructed, installed it successfully and now when I try to play the game the loading screen appears for a brief moment before crashing :(

    1. I installed HL2 especially for this mod as I haven't played it in a while, I didn't start the game before installing this mod. So i've uninstalled HL2 and im re-installing it to try again.

    2. Did anyone else install the V9 BASE first? this is 4GB alone!

    LOL, of course!

    V9 base first, then V9 HD addon. and finally this v9.5 patch. then use character pimper to choose HD civilians and keep Alyx original.

    i dont have a major issue with the models. it's a realism mod, the original HL was made up of caricatures so what do you expect? However, where the hell did Alyx's new breast implants come from?!

    Rofflecopter at the universal increase in breast size.

    mmm 3 hour download time. I shall give it a shot if only to look at some of the more epic landscapes. Something that has constantly bugged me about HL2, epic scenery with mediocre textures.

    it uses HL2 EP2 engine, but that engine doesn't have 64bit, so how can it use advantages of 64bit?

    im playing it very smoothly with HD addon
