How to Install a CoreFX Preset for FiveM

Prime CoreFX Preset Pack V3 in FiveM

Install a CoreFX preset only after CoreFX itself is already installed and working in FiveM. Then download the preset from the official Prime product page, follow its included setup notes, and test it in-game before changing anything else.

Prime CoreFX Preset Pack V3 in FiveM

Before you install

Check these three things first:

  1. FiveM launches normally without the new preset.
  2. CoreFX is already installed and active.
  3. You have copied your current configuration or taken screenshots of the settings you want to keep.

This avoids the most common mistake: trying to diagnose a CoreFX base issue and a preset issue at the same time.

CoreFX preset setup steps

  1. Download the preset from the official Prime CoreFX Preset Pack V3 page or its linked Patreon delivery.
  2. Read the pack-specific install notes included with the download.
  3. Add the provided configuration only where the notes tell you to add it.
  4. Load FiveM and choose the preset through the active visual setup menu.
  5. Test one familiar location in daylight, rain, and night before adjusting more settings.

Do not use instructions for a QuantV preset on a CoreFX setup. They are separate visual bases. Read QuantV vs CoreFX for FiveM if you are unsure which one applies to your game.

When the result does not look like the gallery

Compare your game using the same conditions as the preview:

  • Time of day and weather.
  • Resolution and display settings.
  • Other shaders, ReShade files, or lighting mods.
  • Server-side visual assets.

Turn off one conflicting visual mod at a time. Do not delete your current setup until the new preset is working.

Quick FAQs

Do I need CoreFX before installing a CoreFX preset?

Yes. A CoreFX preset is made for a working CoreFX installation. Install and verify CoreFX before adding the preset.

Where do I put a Prime CoreFX preset?

Follow the pack-specific install notes included with the official download. Keep a backup of your current setup before replacing any configuration.

What should I do if the preset does not appear?

Confirm CoreFX is active, review the included notes, restore your previous configuration if needed, and ask for support with a screenshot of your current setup.
