Thanks for taking the time to check out as well as download my map modification!

This YMAP/Vegetation/Flora mod, was created by yours truly (illagold/Zay) and VERY heavily modeled and inspired both after and by Orange County Roleplay (OCRP), 
Florida Life Roleplay (FLRP via VGN) and finalized for Jupiter Life Roleplay (JIRP via Great Escape Gaming) for the FiveM client, a Multiplayer GTA V modification.
All of these servers have heavily inspired me and captivated me in many different ways to create something that will replicate the environment they possess and to immerse the masses.

This mod is heavily based on, modeled after and inspired by the Southern and or South-Eastern United States's Biome/Region's flora and was built to replicate the feeling of so.

>>> A few details <<<

- This YMAP and or Vegetation mod was created back in or around February/March of 2019 by myself with a lot of time invested and A LOT of sleepless nights and studying the region.
- As of May 2020, this YMAP and modification is fully finished and is released to the public labeled as 'Southern Styled Vegetation' - Something I am very proud to say is fully done and reworked!
- This YMAP adds to Blaine County from the South of Union Road to the very beginning of LS Freeway & Senora Freeway as well as very sparsely to the city of Los Santos, but enough to notice!
- Depending on your hardware, time of day and graphic/texture mods, you will lose about 5-10 FPS *MINIMUM* depending on location. (So please don't blame the mod only!)
- This YMAP/Modification is fully optimized on both a AMD FX-8350 Processor/RX 480 and an Intel I7-9700k/RTX 2080 to give you the most immersive and most performance friendly YMAP modification.
- This WILL work well with OCRP's Scrapyard and other YMAPs they have publicly released via FiveM forums or etc, as I have built around them.
- THIS WILL ALSO WORK WELL ON FIVEM, AND WILL NOT BE THE MAIN SOURCE OF WHY YOUR SERVER IS EXTREMELY LAGGY (Because some individuals on script heavy servers claim they can't run this, you can!)

How to Install for Single Player Grand Theft Auto V:
