Rome wasn't built in a day, but I'm starting to get the impression that Cities: Skylines players could've made it happen. The game's only been out for a few days and someone's already made an eerily accurate recreation of Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos.
Steam user grockefeller created a mod that adds the impressively detailed recreation to Cities. Here's how they describe it:
"Here's the completely built region of South San Andreas including the cities of Los Santos, Palomino, and Sandy Shores.

Sounds pleasant! I find their failure to mention, you know, CRIME conspicuous, but whatever.

And here are a few shots from GTA V, for comparison:
The Steam Community Showcase is a regular look at the cream of the Steam community's boundless crop. Art, videos, guides—whatever. Each installment highlights a specific piece or person. If you find anything cool on Steam or would like to have your work featured, drop me a line.
