You should use
All services peds and vehicles all located in the same dlc folder, so simple for edits.

UPDATE: Since in my example I asked for the s_f_y_sheriff_01, which is the female sheriff model, I searched for it in x64e. There I only found male models. The female model IS in x64v.rpf\models\cdimages\componentpeds_s_f_y.rpf\. Just letting you guys know. :)

Hi there cops! :)
I've been messing with GTA V's game files, trying to learn more about how everything works, so I can give it a try and start modding my own mods haha I also checked out RAGE Plugin documentation.
I'd like to ask you if you have any idea of where I can find ped models (I know RAGE website has a database but it's not what i am looking for), the .ytd .ydd files and all that stuff. I've been looking for those files in x64v, but I only achieved to modify certain textures for Michael or even the online model. Is there any real database showing the directories to look for any model? Could you give me advise about this? I'm a little bit bored of searching and searching through all the game files...
I'll give you an example, where would you guys find s_f_y_sheriff_01? (and its clothes, accesories...)
I'm starting with edit textures, maybe I start creating mods for the community in a near future (If i learn enough to do so). Sorry for the inconvenience if this topic is already posted.
Have a great day you all and thanks in advance,
Henry
P.S. Any special software/tools to work with textures? Apart from Photoshop

Hi! 
Okey, I will start with the software/tools, you will need OpenIV but I understand that you already have it. For the texture editing I use GIMP, its like Photoshop but from GNU.
About the ped models, you can find them on the /models/cdimages folders from the x64.rpf files located on the main game directory or in the dlc.rpf files located on each DLC from /update/x64/dlcpacks/"dlc name". Inside those folders you will find more .rpf files normally named "...peds... .rpf". Body use to be in the ones called "componentspeds" and accessories in "pedprops".
So the sheriff is located on x64e.rpf/models/cdimages/componentspeds_s_m_y.rpf
The game files are like a maze, I suggest you to take a look of the mods already made, they use to contain the rute of where the models must be installed, so that will help you.
