Here's GTA 5's Grove Street recreated in Cities: Skylines

There isn't usually a whole lot of crossover between Paradox's strategy and Cities: Skylines.

SpikyMonsters's custom construction should be familiar to GTA V fans, but also those that have been with the series of open-world games since PlayStation classic Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
