Want your old mods before the SteamPipe update to be used afterwards? Well, you've come to the right place.

Next, download your mod from a site so you don't confuse yourself. Next, make a folder in the directory above to relate to said mod, like this:

After that, you will need to open another Windows Explorer folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin and look for the program called vpk.exe, like this:
