FiveM Ped Model Browser
Browse all GTA V character models. Click to copy model names for use with CreatePed().
What this tool is for
Ped models are the characters of GTA V, and their names are internal engine identifiers such as a_m_y_business_01 or s_m_y_cop_01. Which one is the shopkeeper and which the paramedic is not something you read off the name. This browser groups all models by category and shows the hash next to each, so you can pick the right one for an NPC without guessing.
How to use it
- Step 1:
Filter by category, for example emergency for police and medics, or animals for dogs and wildlife.
- Step 2:
Search by name fragment if you already know part of the identifier.
- Step 3:
Click an entry to copy the model name or its hash.
- Step 4:
Load the model with RequestModel before you spawn it, otherwise the ped stays invisible.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my ped invisible after spawning?
The model was not loaded. Call RequestModel and wait in a loop until HasModelLoaded returns true, then create the ped. Afterwards release it with SetModelAsNoLongerNeeded so the memory can be reclaimed.
What do the prefixes in ped names mean?
a_ is ambient, s_ is scripted, u_ is unique, cs_ and ig_ are story characters. Then m or f for the gender and y, m or o for the age group. Once you know the pattern the names become readable.
Can I use story characters as NPCs?
Technically yes, and they look better than ambient peds. The catch is that many of them have fixed animations and voice lines, and some are only streamed in certain areas, which makes them unreliable for a permanent NPC.
How many peds can I spawn?
The game has a hard entity limit and reaching it stops the world from spawning traffic and pedestrians. For NPCs at fixed locations create them only when a player is nearby and delete them again, rather than spawning everything at startup.
