FiveM is a leading multiplayer Grand Theft Auto mod for Windows PCs

We all have GTA 5 on our PC (in fact, we all have it on our phone too). But what if we could play GTA 5 together? In the best case, that would be something you and a friend or a group of friends could do in the privacy of your own home. However, it is amazingly fun to see how many of your friends can get together and play GTA 5. That’s why we created FiveM: to connect people in real-time and with one another. What’s more, while FiveM doesn’t run on its own servers, it can be easily integrated with popular multiplayer services like TeamSpeak and Google Hangouts so that you can play with people anywhere in the world. 

The History of FiveM 

This is a big one. In any open source project, there’s always going to be some small group of people who get very upset about anything:

• “It’s not our project! It’s a competitor! We don’t need their support! If we can be successful without them, so be it.”

• “X doesn’t work perfectly for us and we don’t have time to fix it or release a new version. They have to just suck it! Why should we help? They don’t deserve our money. If the people in charge decide to do something, then let them do it and if they cannot, then stop them from doing it. If they are good at what they do, then let them do that instead of trying to change the whole world — and you accept that? What would you say? Would you like to tell me what you would say? I find this really interesting! ”

There are two main errors here: 1) the first is assuming that other people are wrong when they claim that something is impossible; 2) the second is assuming that there isn't enough time or money left over to fix things (and thus ignoring how much time and money was spent fixing things in the first place).

This makes sense. It follows from point 1 above: if your project isn't supported by someone else, there's no reason why you should bother fixing problems or adding new features — but note that this logic doesn't apply in all projects: for example, many open-source projects (e.g. Linux) already have superior products than competitors' products; hence no need for an external solution unless it's an integral part of your product (e.g., fixing bugs instead of building on top of them). And sometimes an external solution can turn out better than your own work — when done well (e.g., dropbox has been selling its own software since 2005). But even in cases where no one else supports your product either because they disagree with you or because they just don't care enough (and effectively ignore you), at least we know what our product does so we can go make more improvements without losing sight of our original goals entirely... right? :-) 

How to get FiveM 

If you don’t know what Grand Theft Auto V mods are, you should definitely check out the excellent FiveM (Grand Theft Auto Mod), by 5n4d0. It is one of the most popular multiplayer mods for GTA V. The mod is very popular and has over 250,000 downloads, which is a lot in a single day.

The FiveM mod allows you to play GTA V as a Grand Theft Auto character on Windows PCs as opposed to playing it as an app or using a third-party app like Rockstar Games’ Social Club. The mod also supports playing on Macs, PS3s, and Xbox 360s (although you will have to have Mac OS X 10.5 or above installed). You can create your own custom characters or use pre-made characters created by other players (although there are some restrictions).

To install the fivem mod for GTA V on Windows PCs, just unzip the file into your GTAV folder that already contains all of the other mods for GTA V (including those from Rockstar Games’ Social Club). This will automatically get everything in your GTAV folder ready for use with FiveM.

So how does it work? Well, it is nothing more than a set of scripts that make the game run faster and smoother than ever before for any version of Windows PC running GTA V (this includes both physical Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game). These scripts do so by modifying data files stored in RAM so that they play faster while allowing more memory space to be shared between programs running in parallel on your computer (so if one program slows down down too much then it can be closed down or killed rather than having all its processes halt up at once).

You can only install fivem maps  on Windows PCs at this time; if you want support for Mac OS X then please read this page and I will update this page within 24 hours to let you know whether I have succeeded or not. 

Installing FiveM 

There are many ways to play Grand Theft Auto on Windows and many Grand Theft Auto games have been released over the years. FiveM, a mod for Grand Theft Auto III, is one of the most popular. It maintains a team-based approach to the game that allows players to take part in any number of missions and engage in a multitude of different activities while maintaining their character’s stats.

There are two ways you can install this game: from the game’s official website or from top download sites like torrents. Unless you want to run it from the website itself, I recommend downloading an archive (or multiple archives) and installing it on your computer without needing to run it through Steam.

In order to get FiveM up and running in Windows, you will need at least one copy of Grand Theft Auto III installed on your computer. You will also need an active internet connection and a stable internet connection if you plan on using it outside of your computer’s normal online environment. If all that sounds like something you could handle then head over to our steps page here and click “Install Game From Website” below. Otherwise, just go ahead and install it by clicking here. 

How to play on FiveM 

Grand Theft Auto is one of the most popular games in the world. It was a huge hit on consoles, and now it’s available on Windows PCs too. FiveM is the leading multiplayer Grand Theft Auto mod for Windows PCs

In this post, I want to tell you about my favorite FiveM-based gaming experience and how you can get involved with FiveM modding. The story goes like this:

A couple of years ago, I was playing Grand Theft Auto with my son. We had just finished a few missions and were walking down the street when we stumbled upon a street full of cars and motorcycles. A brilliant idea popped into my head: why not play Grand Theft Auto together?

We went home and played some missions together (it wasn’t long before we realized that it’s actually much harder to have fun playing in multiplayer than solo). When we finished playing, we got into our cars and drove off, leaving our cars in a parking lot somewhere. It didn’t take long before I noticed that the game had given us instructions to go back to our car – but where are our cars?! There was no way we could drive back home without them!

I had an idea: what if there were some easy mods for Grand Theft Auto that players could install themselves? And what if these mods would allow us to play together?

That’s when I started thinking about how to create an entire community of players who enjoy playing together in GTA at the same time as each other – something that couldn’t be done before through one person controlling all the actions in GTA with only his or her keyboard. This led me to think about making modifications for things like the physics engine built inside of GTA (which allows players to drive vehicles around instead of just walking), Player Models (which allow players to customize their characters), and so on – but also thought about unique things like player race costumes or cosmetic modifications like “space penises” (yes, really) or animations (that really do exist).

I knew that I wanted people who felt comfortable modifying their Grand Theft Auto experience; after all, if they don’t feel comfortable doing so, why would they want to spend hours modifying their games? So I wrote up an outline for a tutorial — something along the lines of this post — where I would tell people how they could modify their games using only the tools provided by FiveM itself, without having to mess around.
