Installing Mods on your Team Fortress 2
1. Browse available mods by visiting tf2mods.net or gamebanana.com.
2. After downloading your mod, log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
3. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
4. Navigate to the File Managers Tab to continue.
5. Inside the File Manager, navigate to your TF2 installation directory. The location where your game is installed.
Steam > steamapps > common > Team Fortress 2 > tf > custom
6. The final folder, custom, is where TF2 loads all of your custom content, so this is where your mods belong. All that’s left to do is copy and paste the .vpk file you downloaded earlier into this folder.
When transferring files, we strongly recommend using an FTP client like FileZilla to prevent file corruption.
7. After uploading all the files, start your server to install and load the mod.
