6 map mods for GTA 5 to add new playable areas

Map mods are one of the most popular ways to change GTA 5, and there are a lot of them in the modding community. Even though the state of San Andreas is already very big, map expansions add new areas that can be explored in addition to the usual scenery. Players of Grand Theft Auto 5 can also use them with other mods to improve the game as a whole. This article talks about six map mods that add new areas to the game where you can play. Some of them use places that already exist, while others add completely new ones.

1) Carson City

The Carson City mod is based on Fort Carson, which is the biggest town in GTA San Andreas' Bone County. The modder Abrian19 moved the old city from the 3D Universe to the HD Universe. It is near Sandy Shores and takes up a big part of the Alamo Sea.

The buildings, billboards, and other structures in the mod are very detailed and based on the original game. In the area, players can find bars, fast-food restaurants, hotels, and a lot of other services. There are also some Easter eggs that are fun to look for.

2) North Yankton House and Stores, Garage, Airport

One of the most popular places in GTA 5 is North Yankton, which is also the first city where the game takes place. But Rockstar Games makes it so that players can only go there twice during the story. To fix this problem, modder zamalone made a mod that lets people walk around North Yankton without being stopped.

The snow covers the whole map, and players can add their own buildings to make the place more interesting. The modder says that the patch has general stores, houses, factories, garages, airports, and other things.

3) Cayo Perico Hideout

Cayo Perico is a popular place for GTA Online players to go, just like North Yankton. Rockstar gives players some freedom to go wherever they want, but they must first take part in the Cayo Perico Heist. But flash76's mod lets people who like story mode go there whenever they want.

The mod not only makes it possible to get to Cayo Perico, but it also adds a safe house near the airport where the main characters can rest. Other than that, the island is the same and can be explored.

4) Stab City War Map

The Lost MC club is based in Stab City, which is a well-known place in Blaine County. The area used to be full of trailers, but the modder DomaX turned it into a warzone by adding buildings, cranes, weapons, and other things.

With this mod, FiveM users can play a game like "Battle Royale" with other people. Several weapons and crates can be found on the roofs of buildings or in secret places.

5) Dubai Mansions

Dubai is one of the most popular places for tourists to visit in the real world. Modder zamalone made this map builder mod to add some famous landmarks from Dubai to GTA 5. Players can build copies of the Burj Khalifa, the Palm Islands, and many other buildings, like houses.

The whole map can be built on water, and for authenticity, the structures can be surrounded by desert. There are four different versions of the mod, and the file sizes vary from 170 to 305 KB.

6) Ebisu School Course & Driftland

In Japan, the Ebisu School is a popular racetrack. This mod by Moe M lets GTA 5 race and drift fans add several custom drift tracks to the game. They can also show off their skills on the tracks with different drift cars.

The area that has been changed is very big and has lots of parking lots, small houses, racetracks, and greenery. But players must first install the OpenIV and FiveM frameworks before they can use the mod.
