Addon peds install as streamed resources with a proper fxmanifest.lua. Place the resource folder in your resources directory and ensure it in server.cfg. Configure your character creator or ped selector to make the new models available to players. Test animations, facial expressions, and clothing compatibility thoroughly before making the ped available on your live server.
Addon ped packs range from €8 for individual characters to €30+ for themed collections (police, EMS, civilians). High-quality individual peds with full animation support and clothing compatibility command higher prices. Free peds exist but often lack optimization and animation support.
Addon peds are custom character models streamed to FiveM clients that add new player or NPC skins beyond GTA V's default ped catalog. They use FiveM's streaming system to deliver the models without replacing base game files. Addon peds can be used for custom player characters, job uniforms, or unique NPC spawns.
Addon peds can be paired with EUP (Emergency Uniforms Pack) and clothing scripts for layered customization. Some addon peds are designed as base models that accept EUP clothing overlays, while others are fully textured standalone characters. Check each pack's compatibility notes for your clothing system.
Install addon peds by placing the streamed ped resource in your server's resources folder and ensuring it in server.cfg. Addon peds require the streaming component to be enabled in the resource manifest. Some character scripts require additional setup to make the new peds selectable in-game.
It depends on the ped model. Freemode-based addon peds can wear standard clothing and EUP. Custom skeleton peds or specialized models (animals, fantasy characters) may not support clothing overlays. Check the product description for clothing compatibility before purchase.
Addon peds must be registered in your character creator or ped selector script. Most character systems have a configuration file where you add ped model names and display labels. After adding the ped name, restart the resource and test the selection menu.
