How To Remove Or Swap Models On A Ped (YMT Edit Tutorial)

📖 Tutorial instructions

This is a set of detailed photo tutorials that teach you how to remove or replace the Ped model in the game by editing YMT files. The text description in the tutorial image is more specific than I remembered when I originally posted it, I originally made it for someone else but found it could be confusing so will update with a more concise version tomorrow.

🛠️ Preparation

Before doing YMT editing, you need to use the DeHasher tool to process the YMT file. The tool can be found here.

📝 Instructions for use

You don't need to download the file, but it does contain a text document with the code that needs to be replaced in the final step. If you do not perform this step of replacement, the Ped you edited will become invisible. If you don't want to download the file, you can also find the codes in the last image.

🤝 Get help

If you need help, I will assist you to the best of my ability and knowledge, but please be aware that there is still a lot I don't understand. But I have friends who know better than me in certain areas, so I'll still try to help you. I see a lot of people asking how to do model replacement, but finding simple tutorials is difficult, so I made these three simple pictures to explain the process.

💡 **Tip**: The file contains the three images on the page and a text document that contains the code you need to replace the top and bottom text.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
