Garry's Mod maximum amount of addons/mods

Is there a limit to the amount of addons/mods I can have installed in Garry's Mod?

mods garrys-mod

Best Answer

Yes there is somewhat, not a limit of what content or anything however there is a limit on how many Lua files may be loaded at once.

The current limit seems to be 4096. I doubled it so it should now be 8192. If that didn't change anything let me know, maybe there's another hardcoded limit within the engine and it might be a bit more tricky to remove.

So you can have as many addons so long as the number of Lua files does not exceed 8192.
