Transforming GTA 5: Liberty City Comes Alive
Dedicated modders have brilliantly reimagined Liberty City from Grand Theft Auto 4 within GTA 5. Players can seamlessly switch between the bustling streets of Liberty City and the sun-soaked landscapes of Los Santos, enhancing their gaming experience.
The Legacy of Liberty City
Originally released in 2008, Liberty City set a new standard for virtual renditions of urban environments in video games. While its nostalgic charm remains strong, advancements in graphics and gameplay demands have made it evident that the classic model has aged significantly.
A New Dawn for Liberty City in GTA 5
Thanks to the innovative efforts of the GTA 5 modding community and the powerful FiveM mod loader, players can now travel directly from Los Santos to Liberty City, serving as a fantastic distraction while anticipation builds for GTA 6.
Showcasing the Mod’s Features
A recent viral post on X/Twitter highlighted the impressive features of the mod, emphasizing a fully functional map and radar that delivers a rich, immersive city experience.

The transition between these iconic cities is described as “seamless.” One user noted, “Getting to Liberty City is super simple! Use an airport marker or switch characters, and you’re instantly back in Los Santos.”
Attention to Detail
This mod has paid homage to the subtleties from GTA 4, where even pedestrians now wield umbrellas during rain showers—a delightful detail missing from the base game of GTA 5.
Moreover, the vehicles stay true to their New York City roots, featuring iconic cabs and police vehicles that faithfully depict the cityscape. The public transportation system is active as well, allowing players to navigate via subway, just as Niko Bellic did.
In-Depth Exploration
YouTuber INTERGTA has thoroughly tested this captivating mod, showcasing extensive exploration of Liberty City, enhanced with additional graphic modifications that elevate visual quality.
While some minor issues were noted, such as a lack of NPCs, INTERGTA concluded that the mod is “incredibly well done” and feels complete in comparison to the original game.
