Car Pack Installation

Last reviewed: June 2, 2026

Packing your cars into one resource allows for better optimization of your city. Rather than loading 200 different folders, you can stream all vehicles under one resource folder.

danger

You cannot car pack cars that are encrypted. You can tell if they're encrypted if the folder comes with a .fxap

  • In the car packs "data" folder, create a new folder with the spawn code of the vehicle.
    • As you can see in the image below, the spawn name of the car is st185.
    • Inside the st185 folder is where all the .meta files should be stored.
  • This keeps everything organized in case you want to edit the handling of any metadata.

  • In the car packs "stream" folder, create another new folder with the spawn code of the same vehicle as before.
    • As you can see in the image below, the spawn name of the car is st185.
    • Inside the st185 folder, within the "stream" folder, is where all the .yft, .ytd & any other streaming files will be stored.
  • This makes things organized in case you need to edit liveries in the future.

For the fxmanifest, you need to specify what to load so it reads the .meta in the resources.

tip

To add more cars, follow the same steps.

  • Create two folders, one in data and one in stream.
  • Drop all .meta files on your data folder
  • Drop all .yft, .ytd stream files on your stream folder.
  • Remember to name the folders the same as your spawn code (the same as the stream .yft file)

danger

Make sure the spawn names match the names found inside of your vehicles.meta or the car will not be able to be stored in the garage or you won't be able to do /admincar.
