How to Install FiveM Addon Cars

Adding new vehicles to your FiveM server can significantly enhance the gameplay experience. There are two main types of vehicles you can add: Addon vehicles and Replacement vehicles.

Addon Vehicles vs. Replacement Vehicles

Addon Vehicles: These do not replace any existing GTA 5 vehicles. They are recommended for adding multiple cars to your server without affecting the default vehicles.

Replacement Vehicles: These replace existing GTA 5 vehicles with new ones. While less common, some players prefer this method for specific purposes.

How to Add an Addon Vehicle

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Find and Download the Vehicle Pack
    • Locate a vehicle or vehicle pack you wish to add (e.g., LSPD Mega Pack 229).
    • Download the pack, ensuring you choose the latest ADDON version if given an option.
  2. Prepare Your Server Directory
    • Decide where to place the vehicles in your server directory. A common practice is to use a [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][cars] folder within the FiveM directory.
  3. Add the Vehicle Files
    • Drag and drop the main folder containing the stream folder and fxmanifest.lua into your chosen directory.
    • If the pack uses __resource.lua instead of fxmanifest.lua, you may need to create an fxmanifest.lua. Use the example below as a template:
fx_version 'cerulean'
author 'CAR PACK CREATOR'
description '<Department> Vehicle Pack, created by <Creator>!'
game 'gta5'

files {
'data/**/*.meta',
}

data_file 'HANDLING_FILE' 'data/**handling*.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE' 'data/**/vehicles*.meta'
data_file 'CARCOLS_FILE' 'data/**/carcols*.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE' 'data/**/carvariations*.meta'
  1. Update Your Server Configuration
    • Navigate to your server.cfg file and add the following lines to ensure the vehicle pack is loaded:
plaintextCode kopieren# Vehicle Pack(s)
ensure [cars]

Example server.cfg

Why Use a [cars] Folder?

Using a [cars] folder simplifies server management. When you ensure a folder with brackets via server.cfg, everything within that folder is automatically started on server startup. This method is more efficient and organized, especially when adding multiple vehicles.

Additional Notes

  • Extra Files: Some vehicle packs may contain additional files. Always check the README.txt or README.md files within the downloaded zip for specific instructions.
