GTA V Game Engine limits

Internally the game has a fixed amount of .ymt files that can be loaded in total. This limit seems to be 80 (before mpg9ec) around 100 (since mpg9ec) .ymt files per gender in total. With every GTA: Online DLC that is pushed, R* adds new clothes and therefore takes up more .ymt files - until the limit is reached.

Additionally there is a limit of components/props that can be added per drawable/component type.

Clothes are categorized into components and props, where components are everything you wear as clothes (Shirts, Pants, Shoes etc) and props are everything you can put on top of your model (like hats, glasses, watches, ear rings etc.)

Internally we call all these types together drawable types, the game currently has 25 drawable types in total. Some of them are unused tho.

YMT Limit in Detail

YMT limit applies to each gender separately.

For example, if we talk about 10 additional free .ymt slots available, it means you have 10 .ymt slots for female and 10 .ymt slots for male ped.

Lets take a look at how Rockstar Games takes up the free .ymt slots every update:

  • In game version b1604 (mpchristmas2018) we had 14 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b1737 (mpvinewood) we had 12 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b1868 (mpheist3) we had 10 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2060 (mpsum) we had 8 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2189 (mpheist4) we had 6 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2372 (mptuner) we had 4 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2545 (mpsecurity) we have 2 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2612 (mpg9ec), R* seems to have increased the YMT limit, we have about 20 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2699 (mpsum2), we have about 16 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2802/b2824/b2845 (mpchristmas3), we have about 14 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b2944 (mp2023_01), we have about 12 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b3095 (mp2023_02), we have about 10 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b3258 (mp2024_01), we have about 8 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In game version b3407 (mp2024_02), we have about 6 additional free .ymt slots to be used

  • In latest game version b3570 (mp2025_01), we have about 5 additional free .ymt slots to be used

Creature Meta Data Files

Please note that adding heels and head props to your pack will create an additional ymt file known as 'creaturemetadata' which will count towards your gamebuild ymt limit. For example, if we are on gamebuild b3095 (mp2023_02), we have about 10 additional free .ymt slots to be used.

If we create a pack with high heels, we would be using 3 YMTs; Male clothing, Female clothing, Male & Female hats props and female heels.

mp_m_freemode_01_mp_m_yourpack.ymt
mp_f_freemode_01_mp_f_yourpack.ymt
mp_creaturemetadata_yourpack.ymt

Effects of reaching the limit

Using up more than the additional free .ymt slots for one gender in the given versions, will end up with your game crashing or other weird issues.

Crash Code Examples

For example in FiveM you will end up with crashes like:

Example GTA V game crash when hitting the games cloth related YMT limit
  • b1604: oven-happy-sad || GTA5.exe!sub_1406B14FC (0xf)

  • b2189: earth-august-saturn || FiveM_b2189_GTAProcess.exe!sub_1406D21B0 (0xf)

  • b2944: low-cola-sweet || GTA5_b2944.exe!sub_14071C644 (0xf)

  • b3095: iowa-beryllium-missouri || GTA5_b3095.exe!sub_140722454 (0xf)

  • b3258: virginia-october-hydrogen || GTA5_b3258.exe!sub_14072529C (0xf)

Why not put all clothes in one big YMT File

Each .ymt file can define up to a total of 128 (0-127) cloth items per drawable type, per gender. Drawable types being jbib, feet, teef etc. - Each type representing model parts like pants, shirts, hats...

When this limit is reached, we have to create a new .ymt file in order to add more clothes.
