Source2mod is a tool that enables mods to run the old-fashioned way without being published to the workshop. Instead of being loaded as an addon to Half-Life: Alyx, mods can be run with source2mod.exe using the -game parameter. Mods can be stored both inside the Half-Life: Alyx directory, and inside the source2mods folder in steamapps.
