The Map Builder Mod is a creation toolkit developed by OmegaKingStudios that allows you to build custom maps directly within GTA V's single-player mode. It has been active since 2016 and continues to be supported, offering a vast library of 3D assets. Instead of simply downloading pre-made maps created by others, this mod gives you the tools to become the architect.
