Citizen's handbook · September 2026 edition

How life works in the city

Everything you need to get around: keys, commands and how each system works, with screenshots taken inside. It is meant to be read in pieces: find the chapter you need in the index.

The city speaks Spanish. Voice, chat, menus and staff are all in Spanish (Río de la Plata flavour). This handbook is here so you know what every screen does; in-game texts will still be in Spanish. Almost every key can be rebound in FiveM: Esc → Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM. Anything listed below as no key can be assigned there.

Chapter 01

Getting started

Open FiveM, press F8 and type connect play.sfrp.net. The first time it downloads the maps (a few hundred MB): let it finish. After the loading screen you pick or create a character.

**Character selection**Every account has several slots. If you get stuck on this screen, `/reintentar`.

HUD editor — **The HUD is yours**`/editarhud` moves the plates and changes their size; `/hud` hides and shows it. Saved on your PC.

Day-one basics

F1 phone · F2 inventory · Tab hotbar (1–5 use each slot).
E interacts with everything: job points, shops, banks, garages, NPCs, ATMs.
Z cycles your voice range (whisper / normal / shout). Voice is proximity-based: people far away cannot hear you.
Left Alt talks on the radio, if you carry one.
F6 opens the radial action menu: the basics for everyone (hands up, drop to the ground, carry someone, accessories, keys, seatbelt, invoices, report) plus the actions of your job and your organization.
Cash is lost when you die; bank money is not. ATMs and banks on the map work with E.

Chapter 02

Keys

The ones everybody uses. Police, EMS and staff keys are at the end.

Key	What it does
`E`	Interact with whatever is in front of you.
`F1`	Phone.
`F2` · `Tab`	Inventory · hotbar. `1`–`5` use the slot.

`F7`	Large dispatch (the city's alerts).
`F10`	Small on-screen dispatch; `Home` moves it; `G` responds to a call.

Chapter 03

Commands

Typed in the chat (T). Command names are in Spanish; most of them also have a key or a spot on the map. The command is the long way round, for when the key is taken.

Command	What it does
`/trabajos`	My jobs and my organization: set the one I want on duty, quit one.
`/tareas`	Tasks and missions board (also `I`). `/tareas panel` shows the active mission on screen again.
`/orga`	Organization tablet (also `O`).
`/territorios`	Turf map: who owns each neighbourhood.
`/facturas`	My invoices (also `F5`).
`/llaves`	My vehicle keys, and give a copy to whoever is next to you. `/darllave` does it directly.
`/ganzua`	Pick the lock of the vehicle next to you (needs a lockpick). `/puentear` hotwires an already-open car: another lockpick.
`/asiento`	Change seat inside the vehicle. `/asiento 2` goes straight to the passenger seat.
`/neon`	Neon on / off (with the key).
`/cinturon`	Seatbelt (also `M`).
`/cargar`	Carry the person next to you: over the shoulder, piggyback or dragging. They must accept with `Y`; `G` puts them down.
`/accesorios`	Take off or put on hat, glasses, mask, bag (also `J`).
`/e`	An emote by name; `F4` opens the full menu. `/tirarse` drops you to the ground.

`/br`	Sign up for / leave the Battle Royale when staff opens one.
`/peluqueria`	Open the barbershop while inside one, in case `E` fails.
`/editarhud`	Move and scale the HUD. `/hud` hides or shows it.
`/arreglarmapa`	Reload the interior and the ground when a building did not finish loading (also `/fixmap`).
`/reportar`	Tell staff about a problem or a rule break. They answer without pulling you out of the city.
`/reintentar`	Back to character selection if you got stuck on the way in. `/relog` switches character.
`/toggleChat`	Hide or show the chat. It only appears when there is activity and fades on its own.

Chapter 04

Jobs and businesses

You can hold several jobs at once, but only one is active. The active one pays wages, opens its points on the map and shows its actions in F6. Pick it with /trabajos; you start off duty and clock in at the business's own point.

Jobs panel — **`/trabajos`**Your jobs with rank and wage per payout. Activate, quit. Below, your organization.

HUD showing job on duty — **The HUD reminds you**Job, rank and whether you are on duty. Next to it, cash, bank, the company's till and dirty money.

Radial action menu — **`F6`, the radial menu**One wedge per action. Cuff, escort, search, heal, repair, invoice… depending on your job and organization.

If you own or run a business

Every business has a management point. The whole company is run from there; no commands needed.

Management: employees — **Employees**Who works here, at what rank, who is on duty. Hiring happens with the person next to you: they accept with `Y`.

Management: wages — **Wages by rank**Paid per payout. The ceiling for each rank is set by the administration; below it, the owner decides.

Management: till — **The till**Deposit and withdraw. Everything the business earns lands here, and wages and supplies come out of it.

Management: uniforms — **Uniforms**The owner builds them in the clothing editor, by rank and gender. Employees put them on at the locker point.

Management: workshop prices — **Prices (workshops only)**Every repair and upgrade with its rate. The customer sees the total before paying.

Management: supplies — **Supplies**Ordered from here, paid from the till, delivered to the storage you choose.

Management: statistics — **Statistics**Minutes on duty and earnings per person, today, 7, 30 or 90 days. To know who actually works.

Work garage — **Company vehicles**One vehicle per person, on duty only; returned at the same point.

A business's shop — **Selling to the public**A business can run a shop open 24/7. What people spend goes straight to the company account.

Invoices

Chapter 05

Vehicles

K starts and stops the engine, L locks and unlocks, H headlights, M seatbelt, F9 glovebox or trunk. All of it needs a key: the owner's, or a copy given to you with /llaves.
/asiento (or F6 → Basics) to change seat without getting out. With the seatbelt on you cannot move, and the driver only leaves the wheel with the car stopped.
Without a seatbelt, a hard stop throws you through the windshield. The car radio is off: music is something you bring to the scene yourself.
Police, EMS and mechanics open any locked vehicle with E. Everyone else needs a lockpick.

Without a key

Lockpicking minigame — **Picking the lock**With a lockpick, `E` next to the car. Press Space when the cursor crosses the zone; two misses and the lockpick breaks. The alarm goes off and may alert the police.

Hotwiring minigame — **Hotwiring**Inside, another lockpick to start it without a key. Same minigame, more pins on better cars.

Garage and impound

Parking — **One garage**Whatever you park in any lot comes out of any other. Search by name, model, plate or tag; give it an alias and order it as you like. There are lots for land, air and water.

If your vehicle is seized it goes to the impound. From the garage you can get it back by paying double the fee, without waiting for anyone.

Buying

**RP Motors**The showroom cars are inspected with `E`. There is a land dealership, RP Air for helicopters and small planes and RP Marina for boats and yachts.

Dealership catalogue — **The catalogue**Every model with its stats and colours. You test before paying: on the timed circuit for land vehicles, with a lap-time board per model to compete on.

Factory customization — **Factory custom**Paint, wheels, tint, neon, xenon, plate style. Paid with the car; it leaves the dealership that way.

Chapter 06

Health and death

Wounded on the floor: G calls for help (it reaches the EMS dispatch). Next to an infirmary, H asks to be healed right there.
If there are no medics online, the hospital's duty doctor heals you for a fee paid from the bank; a downed player is revived by a friend carrying them to the point.
A wounded person can be carried (/cargar, over the shoulder or dragged), put in a wheelchair, laid on a stretcher or put in a car. G gets you off if you are conscious.
Hunger and thirst lower your health. Buy food and water at any 24/7.
Dying loses your cash, not your bank. Every death is logged with who, which weapon and from how far.

**Duty doctor**Healing tops up your health and stops the bleeding. If you bring someone who is down, press `E` again to have them revived.

Chapter 07

Organizations and turf

An organization (gang, crime family, whatever) is independent from your job: you can be in one and hold a legal job at the same time. Organizations are whitelisted and requested on Discord.

HUD with job and organization — **Job + organization**The HUD shows both: the active job on top, the organization and your rank below.

Notice when entering a neighbourhood — **Crossing into a neighbourhood**It tells you whose it is. Unowned: half an hour inside and it is yours; owned: you must challenge and they must accept.

The tablet (`O` or `/orga`)

Weekly organization ranking — **Weekly ranking**Points for turf, boosts, BR podiums, presence. Closes every week with a podium and prizes to the till.

Organization missions — **Missions of the week**Three per organization, drawn at random. They add ranking points and reputation to the organization's level, which unlocks in-character perks.

Turf map on the tablet — **Turf**The map of all 37 neighbourhoods: which is yours, how much it pays per payout and who controls each. `/territorios` shows it to anyone.

Organizations also have their own actions in F6 (tie up, escort, search, put in a car or in the trunk), graffiti with /grafiti and their own doors.

Chapter 08

The illegal side

All of this is roleplay: the police may be watching, and every dirty-money movement is logged.

Drugs, with cocaine as the example

Picking coca leaves — **1 · Pick leaves**In the gathering zone, `E`. You have to find it.

Processing coca paste — **2 · Coca paste**Leaves + gasoline (24/7) + chemicals (black market) + baking soda (pharmacy). Whatever you lack shows in red.

Processing cocaine — **3 · Cut and press**Paste + chemicals + baggies with a scale make cocaine; ten cocaine and a press make a brick. The tool is not consumed.

Offering to an NPC — **4 · Sell on the street**`E` in front of a pedestrian. On your own turf they pay more; on someone else's, less, and they call the police more often.

Choosing what to offer — **What are you offering?**If you carry more than one thing, you choose. Not everyone buys.

Black market shop — **Black market**Weapons, ammo, vests, lockpicks, scale, baggies, chemicals, press. Paid in dirty money, with a daily cap per item.

Car theft by contract

Boost contracts tablet — **LS Underground tablet**Contracts by class (D to S): where the car is, what it pays, whether it has a tracker. Delivered at the chop shop. Opens with `/boost` if you have access.

Chapter 09

Families and papers

Everything happens at the Civil Registry in City Hall, with E in front of the clerk. Requests (an invitation, a marriage) reach the other person on screen and they accept with Y.

**Founding a family**Name, crest and colour. Then you invite whoever is next to you, with the right bond.

Managing the family — **Building the tree**Roles, invitations, fictional children to complete the story, edit, leave. A copy of the tree can be requested as an item and given away.

Family tree — **Tree and history**Several generations, exes included: nothing is ever deleted. Drag to move, wheel to zoom.

Proposing marriage — **Marriage**Both next to the clerk; the one proposing pays and hands over the ring if required. Divorce is filed here too.

Certificates and documents — **Certificates and duplicates**Marriage, divorce, single status, ID, licences: they come out as items with a record number. Using them from the inventory shows them to whoever is in front of you.

/f message is the family chat. Like every chat, your character reads it: what gets arranged on Discord did not happen in the city.

Chapter 10

Tasks and progress

**`I` · Tasks board**Chained tracks that walk you through the city: get your ID, change clothes, your first car, a job. Every step gives experience and money; levels unlock the next tracks. The active mission shows on screen with its marker on the map.

Chapter 11

Clothes, emotes and voice

**Clothing stores**A single slot can hold hundreds of models: besides the arrows there is a slider and a numbered grid. What you try on is shown before paying; outfits are saved as sets.

J takes off or puts on hat, glasses, mask and bag without visiting a store. Barbershops on the map change hair, beard and makeup (E in the shop, or /peluqueria).
F4 opens the emote menu; /e name plays one directly; favourites go on the numpad. Right Ctrl crawls, B points, /tirarse drops you to the ground, X raises your hands (and you can be searched without cuffs).
Voice is proximity-based and Z picks whisper, normal or shout. The radio (Left Alt) needs the item in your inventory; channels change with ← →.

Chapter 12

When something breaks

I entered a building and there is no floor, or the elevator left me in mid-air: /arreglarmapa. It reloads the interior and the collision. If you fall off the map it runs on its own.
An NPC or an object vanished when I walked into a shop: step out and back in; it is recreated when you cross the door.
I am stuck on character selection: /reintentar.
A key does nothing, or does something else: Esc → Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM and look for it by its Spanish name. If two things share a key, change one there.
The chat is not showing: it only appears when there is activity and fades. /toggleChat pins it.
I found a bug or someone crossed the line: /reportar with a clear sentence. Exploiting a bug is a ban; reporting it is appreciated. Bans are appealed on Discord.
