Invisible Clothing
The ped equips an item and nothing (or a hole) shows. Split components from props. There is no single toggle.
Difficulty: Intermediate · Affects: both (Enhanced has extra conversion / gen9 cases)

Match the look
| Model does not load | Missing YDD, wrong name, resource not started, or Alchemist skipped the file. | clothing-basics | |
| Looks black, not invisible | Texture failed. Wrong page — go to black / missing textures. | black-textures | |
| Hat / glasses / watch gone | Props, not components. Unpatched 8-bit prop index — **VERSION DEPENDENT** (PR #2421). | invisible-props | |
| Shop ID points at nothing | Global index moved after DLC or a new pack. Collection-local ID is still valid. | clothing-ids-changed | |
| Wrong file name | Collection + type + index + `_u` / `_r` must match. `^` stream layout. | clothing-basics | |
| YMT never registered | YMT missing, resource stopped, or extra creaturemetadata YMT never loaded. | ymt-limits | |
| Resource never started | `You lack the required entitlement` — everyone looks vanilla. | entitlement-errors | |
| Enhanced / gen9 | Convert open YDD/YTD with Alchemist. Escrowed files are skipped. Legacy gen9 placeholders stay empty — **CONFIRMED**. | legacy-vs-enhanced |
On Legacy, some Rockstar slots in gen9_exclusive_assets_peds.meta are skipped. Replacing the placeholder YDD does not help. Cfx declined unlocking them (#3468). On Enhanced those assets can exist natively.
Wrong pack started / shop pointing at another collection is a load-order / ID problem — Clothing IDs.

What not to do
WARNING
Clear cache first
Naming, entitlement, and gen9 skips do not care about cache.
WARNING
Max TxdStore
Invisible is not pool full. Black textures are a different page.
WARNING
Bypass gen9 exclusivity
Cfx will not unlock those Legacy placeholders.
