Chicago Prop - Map Overhaul

Chicago Prop - Map Overhaul for FiveM

Transform your FiveM server into the Windy City with this premium Chicago-inspired prop overhaul. This work-in-progress modification replaces GTA V's default Los Santos props with meticulously crafted Chicago-accurate assets, delivering an authentic urban atmosphere for roleplay servers, cinematic creators, and realism-focused communities.

What's Included in This Overhaul

The Chicago Prop Overhaul brings Midwest authenticity to your FiveM world through carefully researched and modeled city infrastructure:

• Chicago-Style Street Signage - Authentic green street signs with distinctive Chicago formatting and typography, replacing generic GTA V signage throughout the map
• Custom Traffic Lights - Period-accurate traffic signal designs matching Chicago's municipal standards, complete with yellow housing and proper mounting hardware
• Realistic Municipal Infrastructure - City-grade dumpsters, trash receptacles, and public fixtures modeled after actual Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation equipment
• Chicago Flags Everywhere - The iconic four-red-star flag placed strategically throughout the environment on municipal buildings, light poles, and public spaces
• Ongoing Development - Regular updates introducing new Chicago-specific props, refinements to existing assets, and community-requested additions

Perfect For These Server Types

• Chicago-Themed Roleplay Servers - Create an authentic Windy City experience for law enforcement, EMS, and civilian roleplay scenarios
• Cinematic Production - Film realistic Chicago-set machinimas, music videos, and promotional content with proper environmental details
• Realism-Focused Communities - Enhance immersion for players who demand geographic accuracy and attention to municipal details
• Midwest-Based Servers - Build a recognizable Illinois setting that resonates with players from the Chicago metropolitan area

• File Size: Varies with updates (ongoing WIP project)
• Update Cycle: Regular content additions based on community feedback

What Makes This Chicago Overhaul Stand Out

Unlike generic city retextures, this project focuses specifically on Chicago's unique municipal infrastructure and urban character. The creator has studied real Chicago street furniture, signage standards, and public works equipment to ensure accuracy. As a work-in-progress resource, you'll receive regular updates with new props, refinements to existing models, and community-requested additions - all designed to gradually transform Los Santos into a convincing representation of America's third-largest city.

Realism Features

• Street signs use Chicago's distinctive green color scheme and formatting conventions
• Traffic lights match the city's standard yellow-housing design with proper mounting brackets
• Dumpsters and waste containers replicate actual Department of Streets and Sanitation models
• Chicago flags feature the correct four-star design representing Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire, the World's Columbian Exposition, and the Century of Progress
• Public fixtures include authentic Chicago Park District and municipal hardware

Ongoing Development Roadmap

This project is continuously evolving. Future updates will introduce additional Chicago-specific elements including CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) bus stops, parking meters, fire hydrants, street light poles, and more specialized props based on community requests and creator research.

Bring authentic Midwest urban character to your FiveM server. Whether you're building a Chicago-themed LEO community, filming cinematic content, or simply want a fresh geographic setting, this prop overhaul delivers the environmental details that make the difference between a retextured map and a truly immersive Chicago experience.
