Summary

Garry’s Mod is a mod for  Half-Life 2 made by Garry Newman. In Garry’s Mod, you can spawn objects/props from the game and make contraptions, pose the characters from the game, make the characters fight you or each other, and more! There are various tools to make contraptions: Here.

 Modes

In Garry’s Mod you can play online (or LAN) Multiplayer, or Singleplayer with yourself. Each of these modes have different advantages and disadvantages.

Multiplayer lets you build or fight with other players, as well as make minigames (like racing cars you made). Also, many maps are made just for multiplayer, such as SpaceBuild, where you team up with other players to colonize planets and explore space. However, in Multiplayer you can not save your contraptions (unless the server has Advanced Duplicator… but then you can only use the contraption on that server), as well as having to deal with spammers and “MingeBags” (the Garry’s Mod term for players that mess up other peoples’ creations). Some servers try to stop that by having spam protection and prop protection, but “MingeBags” can still get around it by using duplicator or dynamite.

In Singleplayer you can build contraptions without worrying about spammers and “MingeBags”. You can also save the contraptions you have made. You can fight the AI characters without making a Server Admin mad, too.
