BASIC INFO

If it’s your first time connecting to the server in a while, please take note we underwent a large update and server wide wipe. Your stories remain in tact, your assets did not.

CREATING CHARACTER

When joining the server, you will see a ped on screen holding a sign that says “Create New Character”. You can have up to 6 character slots on TwitchRP, with options for more on the way in the future. When highlighting the “Create New Character” ped, click enter and accept the prompt.

You will be brought to a passport, where you will fill out your character name, date of birth, height and gender. Once this is done, a menu will load where you can edit all aspects of your characters appearance. If for some reason you accidentally exit the menu – open the chat box with “T” and type “/skin”, this will reopen the character customization menu. Once you’ve customized your appearance, please click enter to save your progress. Clicking escape or back space will remove your progress and you will have to start over.

For custom ped models, you must be a member in good standing for a period of one month and apply through the Support –> Report Form on the website. Give a reason why you need custom ped access and the RP story for your character. WE WILL NOT APPROVE ANIMAL PED SKINS. PERIOD. If you are approved for custom ped access, you may type “/setPlayerModel modelname” and this will bring you to the skin menu with your chosen skin (if the name is correctly inputted). You may find all ped names here.
