Year: 16 (2016)
Month: 12 (December)
Day: 01 (1st)

This was a transitional period. In late 2016, GMod was moving away from its older Source Engine 2007 branch toward a more optimized 2013 branch. v161201 was one of the last builds before major UI overhauls and the gradual phase-out of certain legacy features. For many players, this version represents the "golden era"—stable enough for serious builds, yet modern enough to support popular addons like TTT (Trouble in Terrorist Town), DarkRP, and Prop Hunt.

How to Identify a v161201 Build

If you see a GMod installation with:

The old blue/grey spawn menu (not the flat dark theme).
A version.txt containing 161201.
The console command lua_run_cl print(GetHostVersion()) returning 161201.
Auto-downloading of server files without needing Steam Workshop subscriptions.

…then you’ve found the legendary v161201. Year: 16 (2016) Month: 12 (December) Day: 01 (1st)
