Built with attention to urban street culture, this hood features realistic props, furniture, graffiti, and environmental details that bring gang territory roleplay to life on your FiveM server.

The mapping includes realistic furniture, gang memorabilia, drug paraphernalia, weapons storage areas, money counting tables, and street culture decorations. Every detail is optimized for performance while maintaining visual quality, ensuring smooth gameplay during intense gang scenarios.

How It Works

The OTF Garden Hood MLO replaces or adds to existing game world structures, creating a fully accessible interior space at the configured map coordinates. Players can enter the hood through front and back entrances, exploring the multi-room layout with complete navigation freedom. The interior persists in the game world, allowing multiple players to occupy the space simultaneously for gang meetings, operations, or confrontations.

Gang members can use different rooms for specific purposes: living room for meetings, kitchen for social interaction, bedrooms for private conversations or stash storage, and outdoor areas for lookout duty. During police raids, the multiple entry points and defensive positions create tactical gameplay where gangs can fortify positions while police plan coordinated breaches. The realistic prop placement supports interaction scripts for drug packaging, money counting, weapon storage, and other criminal activities.

Territory control scripts can designate this MLO as a gang headquarters, creating respawn points, safe zones, or contested areas. The garage allows vehicle storage for gang cars, while outdoor areas support large gatherings during events or recruitment. Environmental details like graffiti and gang colors establish visual ownership that reinforces territory identity for both members and rivals.

What Makes It Stand Out

Most hood MLOs are basic interior shells with minimal detail or poor collision mapping. OTF Garden Hood goes further by creating a lived-in environment with realistic prop placement that supports actual gang roleplay mechanics beyond just having a place to stand. The strategic design with multiple entry points, defensive positions, and escape routes makes this functional for gang warfare, not just decoration. The balance between social spaces (living room, kitchen) and operational spaces (drug tables, weapon storage) creates depth where gang members actually live in their territory rather than just using it as a spawn point. Performance optimization means this works smoothly even during 10+ player raids or gang gatherings. Combined with the authentic street culture aesthetic and compatibility with territory scripts, this delivers the most complete and playable gang headquarters MLO available.
