How to Install Mods on Your FiveM Server

How to Install Vehicles, Scripts, and Maps in FiveM | EUGameHost

Learn how to install any FiveM resource, including vehicles, scripts, maps, and mod packs.

In FiveM, everything is installed as a resource, so once you understand this process, you can install almost anything.

This guide covers the full workflow from download to activation.

Difficulty: Beginner
Time Required: 12 Minutes

What Is a Resource?

In FiveM, all modifications are loaded as resources.

This includes:

• Custom vehicles
• Scripts
• Maps / MLOs
• Clothing packs
• UI menus
• Job systems
• Economy systems

Each resource usually contains a folder with an fxmanifest.lua file inside.

Step 1: Download Your Resource

Download the resource you want to install from a trusted source.

Common examples include:

• Cfx.re Forums
• GTA5-Mods.com
• LCPDFR.com

After downloading, extract the ZIP or RAR file.

You should end up with a folder similar to:

my_resource

Inside it, look for:

fxmanifest.lua

or

__resource.lua

Step 2: Upload to the Resources Folder

Log in to your EUGameHost Game Panel.

Open the File Manager.

Go to:

/resources

Upload the extracted resource folder.

Example:

/resources/my_resource

Your folder should contain the files directly inside it.

Example:

my_resource
├── fxmanifest.lua
├── client.lua
├── server.lua
└── stream

Step 3: Add the Resource to server.cfg

Open your server.cfg file.

Add this line:

ensure my_resource

Replace my_resource with the exact folder name.

Example:

ensure police_vehicles
ensure banking_script
ensure city_map

Add one line for each resource.

Step 4: Restart Your Server

Restart your server from the EUGameHost Game Panel.

Once restarted, the new resource will load automatically.

Example Installation Types

Vehicles

ensure custom_cars

Scripts

ensure qb-policejob

Maps / MLOs

ensure city_mlo

Important: Use ensure, Not start

Always use:

ensure resource_name

This is the recommended method for modern FiveM servers.

Avoid using the older start command unless specifically required.

Common Issues

Resource Not Loading

Check that:

• folder name matches exactly
• fxmanifest.lua exists
• resource is inside /resources
• ensure line is correct

Server Won’t Start

This is usually caused by:

• missing dependencies
• incorrect folder structure
• broken resource files
• missing framework requirements
