Community Spotlight: September 2026

Welcome to this month’s edition of the Cfx Community Spotlight. As autumn begins to change the world around us, we wanted to reflect some of this early-fall feeling in the Spotlight by focusing on maps and landscapes this month.

We’re also excited to announce that a new wave of creators has recently joined the Cfx Marketplace, your one-stop shop for high-quality FiveM and RedM resources:

Now, onto the Spotlight…

FiveM

Yukon Visuals’ Little Italy Map

Little Italy by Yukon Visuals brings a slice of culture to the streets of Los Santos, transforming part of La Mesa into a vibrant East Coast-inspired neighborhood.

Featuring 30 custom buildings including residential townhouses, local businesses, and industrial landmarks, as well as multiple interiors, the Little Italy district offers a distinctive new setting for players to explore. Perfect for enhancing and inspiring roleplay scenes, or for serving as a backdrop for community events, this versatile district is designed to bring new life to your FiveM server.

Find it here on the Cfx forum.

NTeam’s Los Santos River V2

NTeam Development recently released their Los Santos River V2 map, which includes a complete overhaul of rivers and canals, transforming a mostly utilitarian space into a scenic, functional area designed for exploration, roleplay, and community gatherings.

Featuring lush natural landscapes, riverside roads and pathways, vehicle parking areas, and a unique outdoor bar, the map creates countless opportunities for boating, socializing, large-scale events, and scenic exploration. An interactive opening bridge and custom water effects help bring the entire area to life, making the river feel more immersive than ever before.

Find it here on the Cfx Marketplace.

RedM

RedMapForge is a browser-based map editor for RedM that allows server owners, developers, and creators to completely customize the in-game Red Dead Redemption 2 map.

With intuitive editing tools, live previews, and one-click exports, users can rename towns, redraw roads and railways, add custom landmarks, and create unique map experiences that reflect their server’s world.

By removing the need for complex modding workflows or external software, RedMapForge makes it easier than ever to build and deploy custom maps directly from your browser.

Nello’s Saint Denis Steel & Rifle Factory

Nello’s Saint Denis Steel & Rifle Factory is a detailed industrial interior that features steel-working areas, rifle production stations, heavy machinery, storage spaces, and authentic factory interiors ideal for immersive roleplay, weapon manufacturing, and industrial job scenarios.

The factory fits seamlessly into the Saint Denis area and can be paired with other interiors such as the Saint Denis Port Office or the Saint Denis Detective Agency to bring new landmarks to Saint Denis for your players to explore.

Did you know that capybaras can run nearly as fast as a house cat? That is approximately 35km/h!

There’s me thinking this would be the long awaited announcement that protects creators in the Cfx space with a new and improved escrow system, but I guess not.

I also wonder if this post took 4 weeks to be approved, good luck to any creator trying to get their assets out on the forums in time for Halloween, We have gone from almost 48 hour turn over to over 4weeks, some creators reporting theres has taken 2 months or simply been ghost removed with no response as to why at all.

Motivation is at its lowest when theres abesolutely no support for the very people who created the space what it is today!

All we ask as creators is to be heard and listened to and, at the very least, acknowledged.

Congrats to the new creators and to the spotlighted artists.

I have to say I’m honestly confused to see Menanak47 on the list of new Marketplace creators.

His practices were discussed in this thread from 2024: The "paid resource" meta

The claims made there included repeated DMCA takedowns for redistributed content and past use of obfuscation, remote loading and IP locking, all things the platform doesn’t allow. The PLA also references a repeat infringer policy (section 6.3).

A Marketplace that is presented as a home for high-quality resources loses credibility when creators with a public history like that are added, while other creators who follow the rules still wait weeks for their releases to be approved.

To me it sends the wrong signal.

Creators have a lot to say and we want to be heard by the platform we have called home for many years, but its generally not feeling very homely for many of us lately.

Please listen to us Cfx.

really crappy to see creators such as AK47 being mentioned when they have such bad practise. actively promoting creators like this is just bad practise by CFX. We all fell in love with your platform but being a creator nowadays is risky since our scripts can be decompiled pretty easily and it takes so long to get any resources approved. and then when we get declined we dont get given a reason.

really hope you start listening to your community and get their help to impove the system we have used for many years (nearly 7 years for me)

I would be ashamed to publish a famous AK-47 on the Creators platform while developers like me, who have been around for much longer, have been waiting over six months for a response from CFX. This is absolutely ridiculous.

A lot of lack of communication and transparency towards developers who have invested years of their time and effort into creating content for FiveM.

Many of us have been supporting this platform for years, yet we can’t even get a simple response. How can CFX expect developers to continue investing their time and effort when there’s so little communication?

Creators deserve transparency, respect, and, above all, a fair process. Six months without a response is simply unacceptable.

Funny how you add a known leaker and code stealer in the community for years, MenanAk47, and give him a platform.

While we have other creators ask to be on the marketplace, and you completely ignore them for months.

You ignore us, you ignore reports we give you.

The disrespect you are giving to the developers that have been around for years and help grow this platform… like at this point CFX is just becoming shitter and shitter over the last 2 years.

You don’t even approve a post for months, you can’t even give us a decent response or respect.

Oh wow I did not see MenanAK47 in the post, that image blended into the background I just looked over it… Wow, I mean just wow… Its crazy its taken 9 months to add like 8 more creators, including a leaker…

Vim-Network has been operating for less then 9 months and was able to verify over 90 creators and add them to their website providing more support to them…

Like come on Cfx and Rockstar, the creators want to work with you and make this space better, just please listen, it isnt hard.

I genuinely feel like there is a serious fairness issue here.

A lot of the creators are putting an incredible amount of time, effort, and money into creating original work and trying to contribute something meaningful to this community. Being overlooked is already discouraging, but seeing certain creators being welcomed into what is presented as a highly “trusted” and curated Marketplace makes it even harder to understand the standards being applied.

At this point, this isn’t even about not being accepted.

We simply want to see creators who genuinely deserve the recognition being given to them. 17Movement, for example, is a name I can completely understand and respect seeing there.

But AK47? Considering the concerns and reputation surrounding them within parts of the FiveM development community, I genuinely struggle to understand that decision.

And I don’t think we’re the only ones questioning it. I would imagine there are both existing Marketplace creators and many developers outside of it who have spent years building original products and who are equally confused about where this is heading.

The biggest frustration is that they’ve tried to raise concerns about all this and its selection process multiple times, yet it often feels like those concerns are simply ignored rather than discussed.

I think we’re all tired of feeling like talking to a wall.

I’m not asking for special treatment, and I’m not asking you to accept anyone else just because we’re complaining. I’m asking for transparency, consistency, and a genuine conversation about what the standards actually are.

Can we all please sit down and discuss this properly, creatos and the team?

Because right now, this situation is becoming incredibly demoralizing for people who are genuinely trying to do things the right way.
