Ped models not spawning in AddonPeds

[Gigachad Landlord]

Hey all. So I am trying to change my skin in GTAV using AddonPeds, and whenever I do I get the error message "(model) not found in peds.rpf". Please help, none of the other threads have helped me so far. Thanks!

You mean the directions that come with addon peds don't work? Have had multiple instances in the past of people incorrectly installing addon peds and having that error. Feel free to search my post history for peds to find the threads - I definitely won't be testing addon peds install again to see if it works with newest update. The comments for said mod may also have info. Steam is the last place to look for storymode modding help for gtav - very few respond.

I followed everything precisely. However, upon looking in my update folder, I saw that I have only two files in there "addonpeds" and "patchday2ng".. Could this potentially be the root of my issue?

Update folder being.... 'mods'/update?

Yessir

Then yes, you are missing essential pieces.
update.rpf needs to have the dlclist.xml modified.

From the readme -
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Installation (Using mods folder method)

Open scripts folder, copy PedSelector.dll and paste into your GTA V scripts folder (YOUR GTAV FOLDER\scripts\)
Open dlcpacks folder, copy addonpeds folder and paste into (YOUR GTA V MODS FOLDER)\update\x64\dlcpacks\)
Start your OpenIV and Enable "Edit Mode"
Go to: (mods/update/update.rpf/common/data)
Extract dlclist.xml to somewhere (I personally just rightclick/edit and then save)
Using a text editor, open dlclist.xml and add the following line before the </Paths> line:

<Item>dlcpacks:\addonpeds\</Item>

Save and import the edited dlclist.xml to OpenIV (in the same path of dlclist.xml)
Run AddonPeds Editor.exe as administrator and click "REBUILD" button. Done!
------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should have a 'mods'/update folder with update.rpf in it.
That is where you modify the dlclist.xml mentioned above.

And to reiterate -
'mods'/update/x64/dlcpacks/ - is where addonpeds folder should be.

I put it in the mods folder, and now my game is just crashing.. it says the game files are corrupted.

[psykoteky]

Did it wrong then. And now - I'm going to do it here - again, just to verify it infact works. /sigh

From memory - and how I will be doing it -
Open gtav folder. Delete 'mods' folder. Verify cache (to fix anything messed up).

After verify IS done, and all files (if any) are corrected---
Create a 'mods' folder in gtav. Go into it. Create 'update' folder.
Go into. Create 'x64'. Go into. Create 'dlcpacks'. Go into. Create 'addonpeds'.

Go to gtav/update - copy update.rpf. Open 'mods'/update. Paste update.rpf
Open addonpeds zip, open dlcpacks, open addonpeds. Put dlc.rpf into gtav/'mods'/update/x64/dlcpacks/addonpeds

Open opeiv, navigate to gtav/'mods'/update.rpf
enable edit mode - open common/data - rightclick dlclist.xml - edit
paste <Item>dlcpacks:\addonpeds\</Item> in the file before the </Paths> line (<-- at bottom)
Click the Save button.

Rightclick AddonPeds Editor.exe - run as administrator
Click "REBUILD" button. Done!

----Edit---- and it worked fine here.
(as I have not, and will not explain installing all the other necessary pieces)
(openiv/asi, shvdotnet, shv, nativeui - and any of their requirements)

If you've gone and shoveled a ton of addonpeds in you could be having issues with memory and all that - to which gameconfig.xml, headadjuster, tools etc can be used to help. But until you are 100% absolutely sure this has been installed correctly (and ALL other required pieces AND their requirements) and ALL steps taken....

Goodluck.


edit - For those coming here 'not' in 2020 - but from... 'theeee fuuutuuuuure' 2022, 23, 24, 27, 2030, etc -.-;; ----- the game is going to have updates. That does not mean 'this' info exactly will always work. There may be update that have broken these mods, or the mod requirements. There may be other necessary changes that will likely be in the mod instructions, or comment pages. There may be other requirements like updated gameconfig.xml's or use of nightly scripthookvdotnets. Look at the .log files the various mods/loaders generate. Verify each one is working by itself.

I followed all of the steps, but the game still crashed, but with a different error message :) It just said "GTAV has quit unexpectedly".. I read on other threads to change all of the slashes in the dlclist to forward slashes, but if it worked for you and not for me then that must mean something else is wrong..

You can just edit it and flip the slashes to test. I should also mention the additional patchday lines in that link below my post - are not on my pc (just the natural ones) - the files definitely shouldn't exist in mods at this time of testing).
(and if you did my instructions - they definitely shouldn't be there at this time)

OK, so I changed the slashes and loaded into the game, but now I am back to my original issue where whenever I try to change my skin it says "(model) not found in peds.rpf". :(

And... does... gtav / 'mods' / update / x64 / dlcpacks / addonpeds / dlc.rpf exist?
(this dlc.rpf is from the addonspeds archive - in the dlcpacks / addonpeds folder....)

And you ran addonpededitor as admin, and clicked rebuild?

Which ped isn't working?

Yup, that directory exists and I ran addonpededitor as an admin and clicked rebuild. None of the peds are working. I have only the two pre-installed ones currently.

I asked about a file existing, not a directory.

Yes, all of the files exist.

Going to have to post screenshots of each step (including a root gtav folder) or teamviewer. Something is still incorrect. Don't be that guy that wasted 3 hours of my time by typing 'addonped' and not the 's'.
