There's a whole lot of clothing mods for this game. Not all of them are pure quality but hey, whatever floats your boat - right?
This mod adds around 150 additional clothing slots to every component in the game, as a custom DLC Pack for both genders with maximum 26 texture slots each.
Changelog:
1.0:
* First version
2.0:
* Overhauled mod description.
* Added extra information.
* Updated the DLC pack.
* DLC is now split into two archives to reduce the complaints of the RPF archive becoming corrupted due to exceeding 4 GB size of the file.
* Included props folder by default due to complains of people not being able to get it working, included test ped props aswell.
* Re-exported the ymt with latest codewalker versions.
* Removed other screenshots showing the added slots inside a trainer because some people can't grasp the concept that this mod doesn't come with a menu.

FAQ:
Q: Is there a limit of files?/My file got corrupted
A: Every .rpf file has a limit of 4 GB, crossing it or getting near it is dangerous and can corrupt the file, there's nothing that can be done with this.
This is not an issue with the mod, it's how the game works so don't bother me about it.
Q: The clothing item i installed does not work, what can i do?
A: I generally cannot help with every single clothing item since i don't know the details, some mods can also be broken but i'm not blaming them per-se.
Make sure you match the naming convention, if that's still not working then i would check if the clothing item works in another slot (incase for example your "lowr" does not work, try using it in another slot)
If your lowr does not work then that's half MPClothes half selected-mod issue, as there's a weird bug where if a normal map and/or specular map has wrong name inside the model file, the lowr does not show up.
Q: Glasses/Hats don't work
A: As mentioned above make sure you're following the naming convention, and if that is correct then make sure to count from 000. Ped Props work in a different way and MUST be counted from 000, you can't add 003 without adding 002 and everything behind it.
You also can't select props backwards in a trainer unless you fill up all the slots (or fill the last slots only, then you won't be able to choose the ones in the middle).
This is very complicated but i hope the tiny brain of whoever is reading this can understand such information. (Sorry if this comes off aggressive!)
Q: I can't select a slot/the slot is locked
A: Please delete any dlc mentioning "g9ec" in dlclist.xml, they're the cause of the problem and add nothing to the game as of right now.
A2: The latest dlc (mp2023_01) is also the cause of this issue and must be removed/edited if you wish to keep the full use of this mod.
Q: Can i use this in FiveM?
A: Go ahead, but if you're asking me to help you then i can't - i don't use or play FiveM.
Q: Menyoo error on startup
A: I can't help you because it works for me without issues.
Q: Menyoo error on outfit apply
A: Spawn the ped as npc first, then apply the outfit onto it and then press become ped which let's you get around this.
Q: The game crashes once i installed the mod, shit mod!!!!
A: Your game crashing can be caused by dozen of multiple things, including weird-ass compatibility issues and such. Another cause could be a limit of YMT files in the game which exists.
First thing you can try is go to gameconfig.xml (inside mods\update\update.rpf) and try raising MetadataStore to a higher value. If this does not solve it then you could try removing a rockstar DLC pack that adds clothing from dlclist.xml.
If none of these work then i can't help you and you're on your own, good luck!
Installation:
1. Paste mpclothes folder to mods\update\x64\dlcpacks
2. Open dlclist.xml in mods\update\update.rpf\common\data
3. Add dlcpacks:/mpclothes/ entry
4. Add your clothing models to the folders, following the same naming conventions as in the example.
5. OPTIONAL: I included ymts without clothing physics (yld files) enabled in the optional folder - this could fix crashing issues but i haven't tested it enough to be sure.

@Korea Kaesong thank you bro! You helped me out so much!
Can you please make update because this mod work not correctly with new dlc's
helms disappeared! :)
The author already mentioned that he will not be updating it anymore.
For me on 1.0.3442 it's not working anymore, at all.
@Mr787 well ok, maybe you need to find a better prop slot ASI, I haven't found it now
@JSaviorSS @Pehotinec_78 @leekoo @bankrupt @twofourx7 Everybody! please download this https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/pedprop-limit-adjuster This prop slot ASI will solve the hats problem
@Jack Reagan @ralph wiggum @thiccbayonetta @CharonIV @nixx3 Everybody! please download this. https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/pedprop-limit-adjuster This prop slot ASI will solve the hats problem
@xcapy @Anaxes @Enash97 @InfernalKING @SUSHi1221 Everybody! download this. https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/pedprop-limit-adjuster This prop slot ASI will solve the hats problem
Is there a FiveM version of this?
You don't need MPClothes in FiveM. As long as you don't have more than a few slots on your localhost, you can simply proceed to add new clothes as your resources.
i just need one slot to my custom cloth because the empty slot ruin the shape of the cloth
@C13ANK1LL ah shit you saved my ruined clothes hahaha thanksssssss
@Mustafa617 np bro
Definitely not working anymore, whatever i use 1.0 or 2.0 version, clothes never appear. I will go back to use MPMALEADDON (even if it's only few slots) at least it works
@ZockerTV2013 Yeah same, the .ydd loads in game but there is no texture
Anyone know how to fix this? Works fine for tops just not lowr
@spats9320 Rename the "uni" to "whi" and the "u" to "r" in the files like this: "lowr_016_r" and for the texture like i said to "whi", like: lowr_diff_017_j_whi
@TestBrasil Yeah I figured it out after I commented, thanks for the reply tho man
bro this mod is not helping for me could you help me
Seems like I was able to fix the issue with the pants. Copy both "mp_X_freemode_01_mp_x_clothes_01.ymt" files from mpclothes_x.rpf to a folder on your pc then use YMTEditor to open them. Go to LOWR open it then open "View textures" click on 0 (_uni) next to texID Value and re-select 0 (_uni) from the dropdown menu and make sure that propMask changes from 17 to 1, save the ymt and put it back into mpclothes_x.rpf. That fixed the issue for me. Great mod! 😁👍
As of today the mod no longer works, does anyone have a solution?
