does anyone know how to get addon peds working for fivem singleplayer? I have seen tutorials for addon peds but its just a tutorial for adding addon peds to your FiveM server but how do i get it on singleplayer?
Strongly suggest you read some tutorials as this is basic asF.
It doesn’t matter whether you use a streamed or “normal” ped. You need a stream folder, a resource/manifest, and a peds.meta. You have a resource folder right? That’s where you dump the ped or vehicles or scripts or MLOs or Maps. Server or SP, that’s what the resources folder is for.
You have a server.cfg. Right? In your config, you start or ensure the resource (ped) with the folder name. You can put that in server.cfg or if you have many peds, you can create a peds.cfg and execute it from the server.cfg.
If you don’t know what peds.meta is, download a ped with one and examine it. With OpenIV you can see what they look like. Just make sure your ped is identified as streamed (true, false), give it the correct name, and change any tags you see fit.
Remember the spawn name will be the same as the one for (as an example) the .yft file. So if you have Honey.yft, you spawn with Honey from your trainer or menu or script.

I meant like how do i get addonpeds in Singleplayer not in a server
Ok. Let’s take this one step at a time.
GTA 5 comes in 3 flavours:
- GTA 5 Single Player
- GTA 5 Online
- FiveM and other RP platforms which will remain nameless
You’re now on a FiveM forum. FiveM uses a computing platform called client server. So it doesn’t work without a server - whether you play it alone or with others.
Now if you’re referring to a specific mod called AddonPeds by a guy called Meth0d, that mod was made for noobs who don’t realize they don’t need a mod to install a ped/NPC. Not to mention it is outdated and problematic. The proper way to install peds in GTA 5 SP is manually and is essentially the same as all other dlc in SP and all resources in FiveM except the files have different extensions and it involves a peds.meta file and an entry for each.
Now if you want this GTA 5 mod to work with FiveM, like you said there might be tutorials even though this mod is for idiots and is also outdated.
What I’m suggesting is the proper way to install peds in FiveM SP. The great news is you don’t need a dumb mod and it is essentially the same way you install all resources in FiveM.
So you have 2 options.
-
Follow a tutorial on how to install the AddonPeds GTA 5 Mod for FiveM keeping in mind that you can’t play FiveM SP without a server (localhost). Just follow the instructions. I’m assuming this is even possible because you’re saying there are tutorials. Good luck.

The simple and proper way. Create a stream folder (like all resources), add a fxmanifest.lua, add a peds.meta file. Again, use an existing GTA 5 peds.meta file to give you the structure. Make sure you refer to the peds.meta file in your manifest.
The method above works for all GTA 5 peds - streaming and normal.
How do you spawn these peds? With a Menu mod, trainer or script - like vehicles.
How do you convert streaming peds from GTA 5 SP? You simply add a prefix with the name of the ped and the ^ sign for all drawable files (ydd) and all texture files (ytd). For example
Lara^accs_000_u.ydd
You leave the ymt and yft alone. For normal peds, there are generally 4 files (ymt, yft, ydd, ytd) and possibly a cloth dictionary and props. You don’t need to change the file names.
If you want to see what a peds.meta file looks like, take a look at the vanilla file called peds.ymt.
You can find this file in Open 4 here:
\update\update.rpf\x64\data or mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data
Look for the item tag. That will be the template for your entry.
Don’t forget to add a line in your config file. It’s that simple. If you still can’t do this and all you want to do is play SP, well then there’s GTA 5 SP.
Just curious about how you managed to install a server yourself but can’t figure out how to install a resource?
FiveM Singleplayer does exist and does support mods. So I don’t know why you’re saying he can’t play FiveM SP or use mods when doing so. It’s literally on the bottom-left of the FiveM start menu.
Read the posts before making wrong conclusions.
Let me explain. The OP is obviously confused about resources. All I explained was that you don’t need the AddonPeds mod to install resources in FiveM.
Well, the OP clearly stated that he wants mods in Singleplayer, which is completely different from FiveM MP. So doesn’t make sense to explain how to stream addon peds on a FXServer.

First of all, do you agree a resource is a resource? Knowledgeable GTA 5 SP players don’t use AddonPeds either. They install peds manually in an rpf designed for that purpose. Ironically this is much easier and faster than the outdated mod and you don’t have to worry about exceeding 4GB limits because you have unlimited rpfs for your peds.
Secondly, FiveM SP is badly broken. Every time they make an update they break or change something. For example the save game file location was moved and the documentation still refers to the wrong location. Plugins like Menyoo, which behave perfectly in localhost, often crash FiveM SP.
I never play FiveM SP because aside of the fact I have GTA V SP, the localgame command is broken. When you do localgame resourcename it reloads the game and plays the GTA V prologue. No idea if this was fixed or not because the documentation is outdated asF.
Scripting is important for me and when this functionality no longer works, best advice is to stay away from this crap story mode and play GTA V story mode. Resources like MLOs and vehicles can be converted to GTA V as well, if that’s the issue.
Uhm Thats not neccessarily true when its easier to just add to resources and add a stream, meta and fx.manifest file
