Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most popular video games of this and last generation mainly thanks to the dedicated following of players both offline and on.

While the future of mods for this game was in a bit of turmoil, it thankfully has all been resolved.

There aren’t a ton of boats available in the base version of GTA V, so for those who want to enjoy the finer things in life at sea then the Yacht Deluxe mod is for you. This drivable boat is huge and can be painted a variety of different colors if you are bored with the basic white. It’s also large enough to land a helicopter on and players can spawn into if they chose. It also makes for a great place to hold a shootout with the cops given the sheer abundance of cover available. You can download the mod here and begin your life of luxury.


6. German Railcar by MrGTAmodsgerman

The trains in Grand Theft Auto V are pretty much only known for the very few missions they’re involved in and being completely indestructible. Sadly, players are unable to interact with these vehicles normally, but with the German Railcar mod you can now drive them across the tracks of Los Santos. While the practical purposes for this mod are a bit limited, it’s still nice to finally have a use for the trains in GTA V.  If you are looking for a more immersive mod then this is the one for you.


7. Vice City by Jestic
