How to Add Custom Peds to FiveM Server

How to Add Custom Peds to FiveM Server

Learning how to add custom peds to FiveM server environments is a great way to give your RP servers a unique look in GTA V. Custom peds can replace a character model or work as add-on peds, and once the resource loads, players can spawn them from the menu in-game.

Adding Peds

1. Download a ped pack and extract the files locally.

2. Access the RocketNode Panel.

3. Stop the server.

4. Go to the Files tab.

5. Navigate to the following directory: txData/<your server folder>.base/resources

6. Click Create Directory.

7. Name it [peds].

   

8. Inside the created folder, upload the ped folder.

9. Head back to the .base folder.

10. Open the server.cfg file.

11. Add a #peds comment, then add an ensure <Ped Folder> line under it. For example, if the folder is named custom_ped, it should look like the following:

    # peds
    ensure custom_ped
    

12. Click Save Content.

13. Start the server.

Spawning the Ped With vMenu

1. Access the RocketNode Panel.

2. Stop the server.

3. Go to the Files tab.

4. Navigate to the following directory: resources/[apollo]/vMenu/config

5. Open the addons.json file.

6. Add the ped's model name to the peds list, as shown in the example below:

   {
       "peds": [
           "custom_ped"
       ]
   }
   

7. Click Save Content.

8. Start the server.
