Sandy Shores Vegetation

Tired of the vanilla GTA V landscape feeling empty and lifeless?

Sandy Shores Vegetation transforms the Sandy Shores area with dense natural detail while staying close to the original GTA V atmosphere. It is built for immersion, realism, and roleplay, adding more life to the desert without breaking the vanilla style.

This is a vanilla-style vegetation mapping made to blend naturally into the GTA V world.

The mod uses existing GTA V assets and enriches the Sandy Shores area with thick vegetation, creating a more immersive desert environment.

As a small extra, an illegal boxing cage has been added near the motel area. It creates a unique RP spot that fits naturally into Sandy Shores.

Sandy Shores Vegetation is FiveM ready and includes a single .ymap file with its matching _manifest.ymf.

An fxmanifest.lua file is included for easy installation on FiveM servers.

For Singleplayer, the included .ymap files for Map Builder are provided and can be installed through the custom_maps setup.

This is not an MLO.

It is a CodeWalker-based mapping that uses standard GTA V map files.

Map Builder notice

If you install multiple of my maps, the _manifest.ymf file may overwrite because the filename is the same in every pack.

Solution:
– Rename one of the manifest files before copying it into your Map Builder folder
– Example: _manifest1.ymf, _manifest2.ymf
