Need some help using custom peds for fivem

Hey! I’ve searched all over the internet trying to find an easy to follow video/ instruction set, on how to install custom ped models for fivem. (I’m just using localhost currently) - and below I’ll post screenshots of how I’ve currently got my server setup:

So this is the layout of my directory:

So within the ‘mp_f_freemode_01’ folder, here’s the layout of all files I’ve organized:

custom-peds folder:

and the stream folder:
image

I’ve then created the ‘mp_f_freemode_01’ folder to replace the original female MP character in fivem. However, my issue is that even with all file names matching the folder name, etc. using the correct prefix etc. I still can’t manage to get the playermodel to actually appear in my server.

The playermodel I’m trying to get to load is this one: Mp Female full body mod with breast physics - GTA5-Mods.com

Which has a very complicated & confusing file installation. However I extracted each file from each folder, and added the prefix to each one (mp_f_freemode_01^)

within the mf_f_freemode_01 folder, I’ve also got the fxmanifest & peds.meta file, which is this one:

I need some help here, because I’m so confused. Any assistance would be awesome, or even a recommendation on what playermodel I could use and install to replace the female playermodel. Cheers!

Try setting the server to use maximum 8 player slots and see it the ped spawns, to rule out any issues with the model itself.

yo bro i see your making a rp server, you got any beta testers, if not i can
