Pool Sizes & increase_pool_size
Quick answer
increase_pool_size raises certain engine pools from server.cfg. Cfx defines which pools are allowed and how far each can go. There is no pool for YMT clothing slots.

Syntax
# top of server.cfg, before any ensure
increase_pool_size "TxdStore" 6000The second argument is the increase, not the target size. The command can be used more than once for the same pool.
Limits that matter for clothing servers
| Pool | Max increase | Why you would touch it |
|---|---|---|
TxdStore | 26000 | Texture dictionaries — the clothing-relevant one |
FragmentStore | 14000 | Breakable models, mostly vehicles and props |
AnimStore | 20480 | Animations |
Building | 20000 | Map objects |
StaticBounds | 5000 | Collision |
The full table lives in the Cfx documentation and is fetched from content.cfx.re at startup, so it can change without the docs being updated. If you are unsure whether a value is accepted, set it and read the server log.
There is no YMT pool
increase_pool_size "YmtLimit" does not exist. citizenfx/fivem#2938 requested exactly that and remains open, and a more recent Cfx forum thread makes the same case. Clothing collection capacity is a fixed engine array, not a configurable pool.
Anyone who tells you to add that line is describing a feature that has never shipped.
Operational rules
- Pool lines must be at the top of
server.cfg, before resources start. - After a pool change, clients must restart the game to connect.
- An invalid or excessive value is logged as a warning and ignored.
- Oversized pools have caused crashes in other pools. Raise conservatively.
Reading actual usage
F8 → Tools → Streaming → Pool Monitor shows live usage per pool. This is the only way to know whether you are near a ceiling rather than guessing from a crash.
These are LEGACY F8 tools. On Enhanced, moo 31337 was removed; use sv_devMode true.
