Snowy Mountains

Hello everyone! It’s Emma_Pomme!
I converted the model to GTA 5 and placed it above the existing map. This mod allows you to explore stunning snowy mountains and take breathtaking screenshots.
I know it’s been a while since my last update, but I’m back with a few projects in mind. To kick things off, I’ve created a small mod that adds snowy mountains to the GTA 5 map!

About the Model
The original model is not mine; it was created by artfromheath.
You can find it here: Snowy Mountain Terrain 3D Model.
Go check out their amazing work!

Details About the Mod

• Low-resolution textures: The map uses lower-resolution textures because it’s not designed for up-close exploration. Creating a highly detailed version would take an enormous amount of time. This mod is better suited for screenshots and filmmaking rather than close-up gameplay.
• I’ve added some snowy textures to the surrounding areas to give the terrain a decent ground cover.

Performance and Optimization
I hope the map runs smoothly for you! On my system, I get 64 FPS, which is the maximum supported by my monitor, even without LODs (Levels of Detail).
The map is massive, even larger than the GTA 5 map itself, and it’s placed above the Los Santos map.

To Install This Mod, you will need the following software:
OpenIV: If you're not familiar with OpenIV, take the time to learn about it before modifying your game. Incorrect usage can damage your files. Always make a copy of your files in the "mods" folder before installing any mod.

If you're already familiar with dlcpacks, you probably know how to install this mod. If not, follow the steps below:

Installation Instructions

1. Open OpenIV and navigate to the following directory: update/x64/dlcpacks.
2. Place the snowy_mountains folder inside the dlcpacks directory.
3. Next, we need to declare the DLC in the game. Go to: update/update.rpf/common/data.
4. Locate the file named dlclist.xml. Open it using a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++.
5. Add the following line to the end of the file, just before the closing tag: dlcpacks:\snowy_mountains\
6. Save the file and close the text editor.

That's It!
Now run your game and enjoy the mod!

Tips for Better Performance

• Disable traffic: This helps reduce strain on your system.
• If your computer struggles to handle both maps, consider using a mod to disable the Los Santos map temporarily.
• For the best experience, set the weather to snow! Some parts of the mountains extend into the countryside, and using Blizzard weather can create an incredible atmosphere.

I’ll be back soon with a much bigger mod, so make sure to check out my YouTube channel to stay updated on all my projects and see what I’m working on.

Enjoy the mod!
