I always loved the look of old version of this mod where you can see the interior from the exterior but disappointed this feature was removed in the new version and windows are replaced with curtains.
Although I understand the reasoning behind this which was to improve FPS, but me personally couldn't let that beautiful look go away in the exchange of performance increase.
So decided to edit the mod to bring this feature back and share with you as well 🥰
That being said, yes unfortunately installing this mod will negatively effect the performance. That is unfortunately a choice we need to make in these kind of decisions .. :(
In addition to that, I decided to replace the painting textures as well with beautiful landscapes and cutie arts 🥰🥰
Also added many amazingly beautiful lights around the mansion which I believe looks breathtaking especially at night, also very good for sunset photography.
Since the lights will take up even more performance, I seperated this from the main files. If the performance cost is too much to enjoy, simply delete malibu_mansion_lights.ymap :)
Since this is a version mixed between the old versions and my own addons not everything is new neither everything is from original old version. But you can install whichever you want, everything is optional.
However for the collision removal, if you decide to install the removal of barriers that were placed at the main gate and at the end of the driveway, you obviously need to install both .ydr and .ybn .
I also highly recommend if you have your Malibu Mansion modified in any way, please make a backup of it because there are so many changes in this mod.
I honestly lost track of how many things I changed and these changes haven't done in a few days. I kept doing this since months as I had any lovely idea...
Install the stuff in the Meta folder to malibumansion_meta.rpf and Models folder to malibumansion_models.rpf
The list of changes are;
- Made interior visible from outside (removed the fake curtain textures and replaced them with glass)
- Made plants static so they don't tip over.
- Added custom textures to paintings.
- Removed the barriers and their collusions from main entrance door and driveway that ends at the garden.
- Also added some glowing lights around the building and a few garden props, chimes... in external ymap.
- Added a boat, jetski (at the dock) and golf car (at the driveway) as CarGen.
- Added many TVs that has beautiful scenes from many movies. (Installing AddonProps dlcpack included in the mod is required for this).
Some models unfortunately I couldn't able to include since they are paid mods of others.
If you have NVE, to enable laser lights around the mansion, check " To enable Laserlights for NVE.xml ". Recommend using Notepad++ to open it.
So much thank you to Shaq for his permission :))
The latest version of Malibu Mansion is required;
https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/malibu-mansion-add-on
-- Update 1.1 - Optional Pool - Hoppable Outside --
The pool depth have been reduced to let you hop outside instead of being trapped like Mario 😊😊🌊🐬
Main file still required.
-- Update 2.0 - PreCombined Super Meshes --
This is a new reconstructed and rebuilt mesh of exterior with PreCombines.
What is a PreCombined Super Mesh?
A PreCombined Super Mesh collects individual smaller meshes and merges them together into a Single Super Mesh and Single Cell.
Although the game having to load a bigger sized mesh, it gains much more benefit by loading a single mesh instead of multiple, as game engines suffer greater when loading high number of meshes than less number of big meshes.
You can learn more about PreCombines at GamerPoets amazing video you can watch from;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5bOq_b2QXk
Limitations and Results
Because of my VRAM wasn't enough, I couldn't able to import all of the interiors. For this, unfortunately only the exteriors are combined.
Despite not able to perform the process to it's full potential, I still got noticeable performance increase (10.2 FPS increase). It's not too much, but certainly significantly better and higher.
** New 2.0 Update includes everything from 1.0 version. **
* Update on 2.0 PreCombined Super Mesh release *
After a lot of help, work and testings, finally reuploading the 2.0 PreCombined Super Mesh release and comes with bug free 😊😊

**Please do not reupload my work without asking me first. I am not the type who being against everyone to use my free work, but I am still at the learning curve, I believe there isn't any issues with my work at this point but I feel they are open to further improvements.**
**For this reason I don't want my work to be uploaded all over the internet and people finding missed mistakes in my uncontrolled releases and gives me bad reputation. I wish people would come to me first and let me know about it but unfortunately a high most majority rather just judges and ignore instead...**

Ok, people. Out of deference for @MissySnowie, I will not close the comments section yet. I have, however, removed all toxic exchanges. All ppl involved know what the others' position is, So, I sincerely hope we can leave it be now, and start afresh.
@MissySnowie Well said by JFG. All I can add is your mod is truly OUTSTANDING!! Thanks for sharing!! Thanks to BSNK too. Btw. I have no doubt whatever you come up with for a Christmas theme will be insanely awesome!! Christmas is a long way away but i'm now already pumped lol.
@MissySnowie Srry dbl post but the time to edit my previous one expired. Whaaaat I just saw my name on your mod haha. I didn't do anything to contribute, im not worthy but that's very kind of you lol. Honestly I haven't got a clue how to edit or make maps / mlo's. You are too kind.
@gtavjamal Everyone who has something nice to say and have an informative feedback to share are deserve to be a contributor 😊😊
Is nice house for me
@BuffaloBill2 Thank you so much 😊😊
@MissySnowie Congratulations on over 25K downloads. You've surpassed the original mod in quality. Keep up the great work, you're one of the few active modders producing mods worthy of installation.
@JohnFromGWN Yup cant argue with those stats. Of course not taking anything away from the original. Props to BSNK.
@MissySnowie OUTSTANDING!!
@JohnFromGWN @gtavjamal Thank you so much guys 😊😊😊😊 It can't compete with the original but I did my best to improve and beautify it 😊😊❤️
@MissySnowie imho you've improved upon the original visually and technically pushing the envelope of what's possible and of course the original was vital as a base to work from so so big thanks to both you and bsnk!!
ps. typo with 'so so'. i suck at multi tasking lol.
@gtavjamal Thank you so much 🙈🙈🥰 and haha no worries I'm not too great either 🙈🙈🙈😅😅
Hi ! Very good job , but I have a problem with the pool , there is no water and who jumps into the pool can 't get out . You don't know how to solve this, thank you in advance.....
@Sevas Hi there. Thank you so much 😊😊
The pool is unfortunately can't be fully enabled because of a hardcoded limit on game. Any water above the original water has this issue.
There are some half solutions, but well, they come with a cost 🥺🥺
First one I can suggest is; https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/swimmable-water-everywhere mod. Doesn't work with every pool (requires some parameters enabled to work) but it works with Malibu Mansion. The cost is, every AI aircraft tries to climb to space because they consider the world is full of water. Don't know can the file in the mod be modified so the fake water height can be lowered 🤔
The second one is even less desirable, and it is moving the entire mansion inlands away from the sea 🥺
@MissySnowie Thanks for the hint , I 'll try ........
Hi there. So I wanted to enable the laser lights for the first time since I've had this mod and they do this weird thing. If I look right at them they don't move at all and are normal spotlights (not the blue lasers). Only when they are the corner of my screen they start to work fine. I have followed avery step in the tutorial, but I did not see anybody with this problem so I wanted to ask. What can I do to make them work fine?
@DMXaman Hey there. It might have been related to the NVE itself. Are they correctly working in their original locations?
I remember seeing there was an issue with those laserlights causing them to glitch at certain angles, and they were later on fixed with late updates. I was also having this problem despite after updating (both original locations and the new ones I added), though I can't quite remember what did I do to fix them.
I'm having a memory of replacing the volumes.rpf (I think that was the one containing laserlight files) with the later versions of NVE but not entirely sure 🥺
I wonder would it be allowed to include my edited files now that is NVE became free 🤔🤔 Regardless, I will try to remember what exactly I did to fix it. I was actually told someone about it what did I do, just have to remember who so I can look up the messages 😟😟
@MissySnowie HOW TO INSTALL????????
@CitiZeN030 I believe it’s explained in the read me. Not at home right now, but basically just replace my files with the originals, they are the same name each.
@MissySnowie but its only a add on.
so i dont know how to install. where i put files and so on..
please i need help, your mod is so gorgeous
@CitiZeN030 https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/malibu-mansion-add-on
Download this mod first and install it as how you normally install a MLO/car. It has it's own instructions as well.
Then use CodeWalker or OpenIV to navigate to it's dlcpack, and replace the files in it with mine. Files in "Models" folder goes to malibumansion_models.rpf , and the ones in "Meta" folder goes to malibumansion_meta.rpf
