I want to have fun in this game and I’m trying as hard as I can to like it as an old gmod player. The sandbox++ gamemode is as close to gmod 2 as the game gets, but I cant figure out how the workshop integration works. Am I supposed to find the workshop items in game? Why is there no search bar, and why are there so few categories to pick from? Also what the hell is a spawnlist? Is there anything like the old workshop that I can use?

ALSO, how do weapons work? Why do I have to spawn them on the ground to pick them up? How can I find more weapons or sweps on the workshop? I’m probably an old head, but I feel like gmod was somewhat more intuitive with these things.
