Ready to start your journey in Los Santos? This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to join Living Legends RP, from installing FiveM to creating your first character.

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• GTA V — A legitimate copy on Steam, Epic Games, or Rockstar Launcher
• A PC — FiveM is PC-only (sorry console players!)
• Discord — Required for whitelist application and community access
• A microphone — Voice RP is essential for immersion

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Install FiveM
   Head to fivem.net and download the client. Run the installer — it will automatically detect your GTA V installation.
2. Join Our Discord
   Click here to join: discord.gg/VT7gVhnMBW. This is where you'll apply for whitelist and stay connected with the community.
3. Submit Your Whitelist Application
   In our Discord, find the #whitelist-application channel. Read the rules carefully and fill out the application. We review applications regularly — most are processed within 24-48 hours.
4. Get Approved & Connect
   Once approved, you'll receive the Citizen role. Launch FiveM, search for "Living Legends RP" in the server browser, or use our direct connect link: cfx.re/join/lq7kyo
5. Create Your Character
   On first join, you'll create your character — choose your appearance, background story, and spawn into the city. You'll receive FREE starter housing and a job to get you going!

What to Expect

Living Legends RP is a serious roleplay server. That means:

• Stay in character at all times
• No random deathmatch (RDM) or vehicle deathmatch (VDM)
• Value your life — act like your character wants to survive
• Respect other players' RP scenarios
• Use voice chat for immersive interactions

We're a welcoming community for both experienced RPers and newcomers. Our staff and veteran players are always happy to help you learn!

Just spawned into the city with nothing but dreams and an empty wallet? Don't worry — Living Legends RP gives you FREE starter housing and jobs so you can hit the ground running. Here are the best ways to start building your empire.

Top 5 Starter Jobs

1. Delivery Driver

The classic beginner job. Pick up packages, follow the GPS, and drop them off. Simple, reliable income with zero skill requirements. Great for learning the city layout while earning cash.

• Pay: $200-500 per delivery
• Requirements: Driver's license
• Best for: Learning the map, consistent income

2. Garbage Collector

It might not be glamorous, but riding on the back of a garbage truck with a crew is surprisingly fun. Great for meeting other players and building connections while earning solid money.

• Pay: $300-600 per route
• Requirements: None
• Best for: Socializing, team work, steady income

3. Recycling

Collect recyclables around the city and process them at recycling centers. Low effort, learn at your own pace, and discover areas of the map you'd never find otherwise.

• Pay: $150-400 per run
• Requirements: None
• Best for: Solo players, exploring the city

4. Fishing

Grab a rod and find a quiet spot by the water. Different fish spawn in different locations, and rare catches can be worth serious money. Peaceful and surprisingly profitable.

• Pay: Varies by catch ($50-2000+)
• Requirements: Fishing license
• Best for: Relaxing gameplay, potential big scores

5. Mining

Head underground with a pickaxe and extract ores. Process them into refined materials for better payouts. Progression system means better tools = better resources over time.

Level Up: Intermediate Jobs

Once you've saved some cash and learned the basics, consider these next-tier opportunities:

• Trucker/Long Haul — Better pay for longer routes
• Mechanic — Help players with vehicle repairs
• Farming — Full agricultural system with equipment
• Store/Gas Station Employee — Customer interaction RP

The Path to Bigger Things

Every crime boss started somewhere. Use these starter jobs to:

• Build your bank account for a car and apartment upgrades
• Meet other players and form connections
• Learn the city streets and key locations
• Establish your character's backstory through RP
• Eventually transition into police work, EMS, business ownership, or... less legal ventures

In Living Legends RP, the most fundamental choice you'll make is which side of the law calls to you. Both paths offer deep gameplay, unique experiences, and plenty of RP opportunities. Let's break them down.

The Police Path

Joining the LSPD means becoming part of a structured organization with clear ranks, responsibilities, and opportunities for advancement.

What You'll Do

• Patrol — Cruise the streets, respond to calls, conduct traffic stops
• Investigate — Collect evidence, interview witnesses, build cases
• Pursue — High-speed chases with advanced driving techniques
• Arrest — Process suspects, read rights, handle paperwork
• Specialize — K9 handler, air support, detective, SWAT

Best For Players Who...

• Enjoy structure and teamwork
• Want consistent income without risk
• Like being "the good guys"
• Enjoy tactical operations
• Want to use cool equipment (tasers, spike strips, helicopters)

The Criminal Path

Choose the streets and you'll enter a world of risk, reward, and reputation. Build your empire from the ground up — just don't get caught.

What You'll Do

• Hustle — Start small with store robberies and work your way up
• Cook — Set up drug labs for manufacturing operations
• Run — Distribute product and manage territory
• Heist — Plan and execute bank jobs, jewelry stores, armored trucks
• Lead — Form or join a gang, control turf, build reputation

Best For Players Who...

• Enjoy risk and adrenaline
• Want freedom to make their own rules
• Like building something from nothing
• Enjoy outsmarting opponents
• Want dramatic, high-stakes RP

The Third Option: Civilian Life

Don't feel pressured to pick extremes! Many of the best RP happens in the middle ground:

• Business Owner — Run a legitimate shop, gas station, or restaurant
• Mechanic — Work on cars, meet everyone in the city
• EMS/Doctor — Save lives, see the aftermath of both sides
• Lawyer — Defend criminals in court
• Journalist — Report on city events

Making Your Choice

There's no wrong answer. The best RP comes from playing a character you're genuinely interested in. Ask yourself:

• What stories do I want to tell?
• What kind of interactions excite me?
• Do I prefer structure or freedom?
• Am I okay with losing sometimes?

Remember: your character can evolve over time. The rookie cop who becomes corrupted. The criminal who goes straight. The civilian pulled into the underworld. That's the beauty of roleplay — your story unfolds naturally.

If you're experiencing stuttering, crashing, long load times, or errors when connecting to LLRP, clearing your FiveM cache is almost always the first fix to try. This process deletes temporary server assets stored on your machine. It will not affect your character data or in-game progress — all of that lives on the server side.

Step-by-Step — Windows

1. Close FiveM completely. Right-click your taskbar and open Task Manager. End any FiveM or GTA V processes you see running.
2. Open the Run dialog. Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard.
3. Navigate to Local App Data. Type %localappdata% and press Enter.
4. Locate the FiveM folder. Open the folder named FiveM, then open FiveM Application Data.
5. Access the Data folder. Open the folder simply named data.
6. Delete these cache folders. Select and delete the following:
   • cache
   • server-cache
   • server-cache-priv
   • nui-storage — optional, only if you're having UI-related issues
7. Restart FiveM. Launch FiveM normally. It will automatically re-download the necessary assets the next time you join a server. First load will take longer than usual — this is normal.
