Add-On Clothing and EUP in FiveM: How Custom Clothes Are Streamed

Custom clothing and EUP on a FiveM server

Uniforms for police and EMS, gang colours, brand merch — custom clothing is a big part of roleplay identity. In FiveM it is streamed as add-on drawables for the freemode peds, so players see new options in the clothing menu without replacing anything from GTA.

Short answer: Add-on clothing is a set of .ydd drawables and .ytd textures for mp_m_freemode_01 / mp_f_freemode_01, plus a .ymt and shop meta that register the new items. Clothing tools generate the whole resource from your files. EUP (Emergency Uniforms Pack) is a popular uniform set installed the same way. Check the Cfx.re Portal for any subscription requirement for streaming custom clothing, keep packs lean, and use a clothing menu that lists add-on items.

#What a clothing pack contains

File	Purpose
`.ydd`	The clothing model (drawable) for a component slot
`.ytd`	Its textures (variations)
`.ymt`	Registers the new drawables for the ped
Shop meta	Makes items available in the game’s clothing data
fxmanifest.lua	Streams it all and declares the data files

#Building packs with tools

Writing .ymt files by hand is error-prone. Community clothing tools take your .ydd/.ytd files, sort them into component slots for male and female freemode peds, and generate the .ymt, meta and fxmanifest. Build one pack per theme (police, EMS, civilian) so updates stay manageable.

#EUP

EUP is a widely used pack of emergency-service uniforms. On FiveM it is streamed like any other add-on clothing and usually paired with an outfit menu so staff can hand out uniforms by job. Cfx.re has tied custom clothing streaming to Element Club tiers in the past; check the current tier benefits on the Portal before relying on it.

#Getting clothes into the game

Clothing/appearance resources show add-on items after the vanilla ones in each category.
Job outfits are usually saved as presets (component + drawable + texture IDs).
Drawable numbers shift when you add or remove items before them — update saved outfits after pack changes.

#Size and stability

Clothing packs grow fast: hundreds of drawables with 2K textures reach gigabytes. Compress textures, remove unused items and watch the console for oversized-asset warnings — see oversized assets and texture memory.
