*GTA V Dubai Islands Mod Standard Version by GTA BELGIUM*

Grand Theft Auto: Dubai Islands brings some of the most recognizable buildings from the Middle East and beyond to the game Grand Theft Auto V! This mod contains multiple islands including a Palm Jumeirah replica, an airport and even the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit from Abu Dhabi!

This is the second version of this mod. There is a VIP version for 1$ including the Dubai Creek Tower, and Abraj Al Bait building from Meccah. This VIP version is available on Patreon, and will be linked to on the website

CRASHES SHOULD NOW BE FIXED 99% WITH THE LATEST 2.0 CRASH FIX UPDATE

Changes in V2.1:

  • Collision fix. Thanks to user TyFinesse on gta5-mods.com for help with the collision fix.

Players will no longer fall through the map!

Rockstar Games decided to mess with the collision system a while ago,

so lots of map mods didn't work properly anymore. That has now been fixed!

Changes in V2.0:

  • Added more random props, and bridges between the islands.
  • Dubai International Airport replica added.
  • Minimap is now included, but will be only compatible with 4K Satellite View Map by Designerappz:
  • Some new buildings: London One Canada Square (not really Middle East but still good looking), a random large building.
  • The 1$ VIP version will have an added Abraj Al Bait Meccah Royal Clock Tower (interior with Kaaba) and the planned Dubai Creek Tower (height 1300 meter).
  • Deleted unnecessary collision files for better performance and reducing crashes.
  • Reducing some unnessecarily large 4K textures and replaced them by 2K textures without ingame visible quality loss.
  • Re-importing Bahrain World Trade Center without z-fighting faces, with reduced polygons for better performance and less irritating 'flashing textures'.
  • Editing and improving shaders and textures on some buildings for less problems with strange colored glass glitches.
  • Editing normal directions on some buildings for a visible better quality, without strange lines and shadow glitches.
  • Added lights in Luzhniki Moscow World Cup 2018 stadium, which will light up at night.
  • Added a Freddie Mercury Statue inspired on the one in Montreux, Switzerland. Located near Dubai Emirates Towers and Rose Tower.
  • Some buildings now have LOD versions, which will reduce possible lag and the game will have less chance to suffer from random crashes.

Possible future changes in a next version:

  • Adding more traffic paths and correcting existing traffic if possible.
  • Adding more details, more mansions, more props...
  • Making LOD versions on more buildings to reduce crashes for some users.
  • More buidlings or statues, towers...
  • Whatever comes up on my mind or on yours: you can always leave a (realistic) suggestion! 

IF YOU WANT THE TRAFFIC PATHS TO WORK BETTER, YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE 'NO BOUNDARY LIMITS' MOD.

BELOW ARE 2 DOWNLOADS, CHOOSE ONE OF THE TWO. I THINK THEY DO EXACTLY THE SAME...

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
