If you have ever stared at the Los Santos skyline and thought, "This'd be way better with a ridiculous stunt ramp on Maze Bank," then the GTA 5 Map Editor mod is exactly what you are after, especially if you already mess around with things like GTA 5 Money to supercharge your sandbox fun.

You fly the camera with WASD, and it quickly becomes second nature to drift around the map. The menu lets you spawn stuff instantly, often with simple shortcuts, like pressing P for peds and V for vehicles. Rotating an object is ...
