First there are somethings I want to tell you before we install skins. This is my first tutorial. even though it is my first, i will go into extreme detail in order to help you install skins. I want to go into a lot of detail so you will understand installation better and I also want to make sure that every one knows how to install skins so they don't have to figure it out the hard way like I did. MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WHOLE THING! Enjoy ^.^ 1. If you are not a beginner you don't have to read step 1. It only tells you what a skin is. A skin is just a replacement of the weapon model. so, even if you get a different knife or ak47 or whatever, it will still do the same damage. 2. Ok, now that you know what a skin is, lets get started. In order to unzip and extract the files of the skin, you must install 7-zip. Dont worry, it's free. If you don't already have it go to www.7-zip.com. Once you are on the website, click on downloads and select the latest version. 3. Now that you have installed 7-zip, find the skin you want to get and click on download (if you are using gamebanana you have to select your source after you click download). Next, 7-zip should open a window as soon as you click download. Now, a list of files should come up. Minimize this window for now. 4. Now, you will have to do some navigation so pay attention. Go to C/program files/steam/Steamapps/common/counter-strike source/cstrike/custom. If you want, you can even create a short cut to the cstrike folder (trust me it helps). 5. Make a new folder and name it something logical, now bring back 7-zip and place the folders 'materials' and 'models' in the new folder. UNINSTALLING SKINS 1. Delete the folder you created. I hope you found this tutorial useful. If you have any questions just PM me. Thanks! csskiller
