If that sounds like you, we’ve got you covered with the top 10 best GTA 5 mods which offer plenty more excitement through new locations. From buildings to map extensions and even models from popular games and TV shows, you’ll never run out of things to do!
Wooden Chalet
This picturesque wooden chalet is situated deep in the forest close to Mount Chiliad, and has everything you need for a beautiful holiday home or raging party.
It comes with a large pool, helipad, modern furniture, and amazing views of the surrounding forest, mountains, and ocean! You could even take advantage of its secluded location and make it a secret base for you to operate from.
Deriphill Drift Course
Looking for some high-speed racing action? If you’re looking for something more than BMX races at Redwood, take your car of choice down to this drift course located on its own island just off the coast and see just how fast you can go.
You don’t need to worry about running into pesky pedestrians or street signs as these roads are dedicated to drifting – you’re guaranteed to have a blast driving around here.
Madrazo Base
This mod adds a badass base for the Madrazo drug cartel with several high-security structures dotted around the complex. From a luxury poolside villa equipped with arcade machines to a weapons workshop frequented by armed guards driving armored jeeps, it has everything a gang leader needs to run a large-scale operation!
The base as a whole is pretty big, so there’s a lot of potential for what you do with it, as well as plenty to look around. You can also find helicopters, motorbikes, and even vans with mounted machine guns.
The Drunken Clam (from Family Guy)
You can never have too many places to drink in GTA, and with this mod you can bring the famous bar from Family Guy to Blaine County! The building is on the coast of the Alamo Sea, framed by a mountainous backdrop, and the sign lights up at night.
Currently there is no interior for this model, but it will be coming soon, so keep an eye on the creator’s page to be the first to explore the inside. For now, the exterior alone adds a great touch to the area, especially if you’re a fan of the show.
Car Dealership
Go for a drive up to the Grand Senora Desert and you might see this suave car dealership on the way, just around the corner from the Redwood Lights Track.
It’s fitted out with classy furnishings, water coolers, and Apple computers, as well as a garage area for mechanics to work on vehicles, and separate rooms for offices and meetings.
Dr Friedlander’s Office Expanded
Ever wanted to see how a celebrity therapist lives? Many players of GTA 5 are disappointed at the lack of interiors to structures they want to explore – this mod helps to change that by providing content for all 5 floors of Dr Friedlander’s office building! You can walk around large bathrooms, bedrooms, a garage, a pool, and even a walk-in wardrobe.
There’s also a built-in custom radio station playing non-copyrighted music for you to enjoy – you won’t need to fear copyright strikes if you’re a content creator.
The Jade Chamber (from Genshin Impact)
If you love Genshin Impact, this GTA 5 map mod is for you. Its creator has carefully crafted a recreation of both the interior and exterior of the Jade Chamber from the Fantasy RPG, and the results are truly stunning.
You can enjoy the intricate details of the model by taking a helicopter ride above the golf course. Wait until nightfall to see it fully lit up for even more magic! It even responds to weather conditions – visit it during snowfall to see the grounds covered in white.
Los Santos Border
This mod introduces border control along the Los Santos freeway just above the Diamond Casino, adding some more excitement to entering and leaving the city. It’s manned by animated NPC cops performing searches on vehicles.
The border isn’t just an aesthetic addition either – it comes with unique scenarios such as vehicles being stopped and seized if found to be smuggling illegal items. This makes it much more interactive and the added realism is more fun too!
2 Apartment House in Sandy Shores
Want to live in a cozy apartment out in Sandy Shores? Try out this mod for a building containing 2 to choose from, one upper and one lower.
The sunny backyard is kitted out with a fountain and sun lounger, and the upstairs apartment includes a glass balcony. Overall, it’s a fairly modest but classy place to live (or plot crime from).
Colorado (from Hitman 1)
This mod provides a full recreation of the Colorado mission, Freedom Fighters, from Hitman 1! Visit the iconic apricot farm and take a look round the mercenary base, this time in San Andreas. The attention to detail of this map is very impressive and you can enjoy it whether you’ve played the Hitman franchise before or not.
