Introduction
Ok, so I've seen a couple people ask how to install skins and maps into their CS:S folder. In the following words i'm going to show you how to install maps and skins .
Downloading
Q: Where do I download these maps and skins?
A: You can download all of these at FPSBanana (http://www.fpsbanana.com). You can also use your other sites that you can find elsewhere.
How to download
NOTICE: YOU WILL NEED WINRAR OR WINZIP TO DOWNLOAD AND OPEN THE .RAR AND OR .ZIP FILES FOR THIS. WINRAR CAN BE FOUND HERE (http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html). WINZIP CAN BE FOUND HERE (http://download.cnet.com/WinZip/3000-2250_4-10003164.html?tag=mncol).
Downloading your map
In this step I will be showing you how to download CS_CRACKHOUSE 2010 (http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/117435).
Step 1: Download the map and open it with your unzipping program. I am using winrar so it should look something like this:
*I am already in the folder called Maps located in the winrar file.

As you see it has 2 maps in there. We're going to install the one with the prefix cs_.
Step 2: Locating your steam maps folder. The usual location is something like this:
C:\Program Files\SteamPowered\steamapps\c*********e\counter-strike source\cstrike\maps. The folder should look something like this:

*Note: The blanked out spots is where your steam username would go in place.
Step 3: Installing the map is extremely easy. You simply open up your WINRAR or WINZIP tab and drag and drop the file into your maps folder! It should look something like this:

Boom! The map is done installing and you should now be able to play if it a server required it for consistency.
I will finish the skins part tomorrow, as my photoshop is messing up right now.
