Source SDK Base is a game/tool, shared between all owners of Valve Source games, on which modders can base their projects. Both singleplayer and multiplayer mods can use it.
Games that provide access to SDK Base are listed here. The free copies of them available through hardware promotions do not provide access.
Note:The version of SDK Base this article represents (AppID 215) has been superseded by Source SDK Base - Orange Box (AppID 218), which was created due to a break in Source's backward compatibility. You will not encounter any particular problems using this version, but switching to the Orange Box is recommended.Content

FAQ
- Where can I find Source SDK Base?
- In Steam's Tools tab. You will be prompted to install it when first running a mod, or you can install it yourself. There is no need to run it directly.
- Do I have to base my mod on Source SDK Base?
- No, you can base on any game. But bear in mind that:
- You are restricting the size of your audience if you require a specific purchase.
- Multiplayer games may break your mod by updating to an incompatible branch of the engine. This has already happened with DOD Source.
- How can I use additional Steam content?
- See Gameinfo.txt#Mounting content.
