I've got GMod and just about every mainstream Valve game excepting CS:S. I'd like to play Prop Hunt, a GMod game mode. Is it possible to play Prop Hunt without CS:S, possibly by obtaining the files?
- More Garry's Mod Mods Much like Hide and Seek on Counter-Strike: Source, Prop Hunt is a game of stealth and cunning. As a prop, you must replicate another prop on the map and hide before the Hunters come after you.
- Mar 30, 2013 - A: Actually It downloads automatically when you launch Garry's Mod. If not, then purchase the game. Q: Why do i need garry's mod for Prophunt to work? A: Well, Actually Prophunt is a gamemode addon for Garry's Mod.

Yes, you can (even CS:S maps)!
Garry's Mod - Prop Hunt Mod. Much like Hide and Seek on Counter-Strike: Source, Prop Hunt is a game of stealth and cunning. As a prop, you must replicate another prop on the map and hide before the Hunters come after you.
Downloading the appropriate files from here(click on 'Garry Content') as shown in this video will work (He'll show you where to place the files).
It's just textures (and maps, if you need it) for use as an addon to Garry's Mod.
This is completely legal because there is another [more complicated] method listed on the officially affiliated site which not only details in its FAQ why it's legal, but it uses SteamCMD (an official tool from Valve) with the login of anonymous (a free account) to get the files.
It depends. If the server is running a CS:S map, you probably won't be able to join. (I have CS:S so I can't say for sure) If they are running a map not prefixed for CS:S (de_, cs_, etc.) then you should be fine. However I have friends who have Gmod without CS:S, and they're reported issues. In playing a lot of Gmod gamemodes such as TTT or PH, they will be missing textures used by mapmakers from CS:S to make the map. This results in the map having a lot of missing texture errors and everything appearing as purple and black checkerboard on their screen.
As an alternate solution, have a friend Steam Family Share CS:S with you or login to his/her account on your computer, and download it. You won't be actually playing the game, but all the necessary files are in place.
