This page is the short version for all of them — the per-map pages only add location, features and doorlock data. {% hint style="info" %} Sandy Shores is split into **one resource per map** on purpose. Install only the maps you own; nothing here requires you to run the full set. {% endhint %} *** ## Quick install (any Sandy map) {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Step 1 — Add the resource Drop the map folder into your `resources` directory. We recommend grouping them so load order is easy to manage: 
resources/[promptsandy]/prompt_sandy_bank
{% endstep %} {% step %} #### Step 2 — Add it to server.cfg 
start prompt_sandy_bank
Using a folder like `[promptsandy]`? A single `ensure [promptsandy]` starts everything inside it. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Step 3 — Install the Sandy MapData **This is the step people miss.** Almost every Sandy map needs the matching [**Sandy MapData**](/prompt-studio/sandy-maps/sandy-mapdata.md) or it will load wrong — floating props, missing ground, or no interior at all. Start it **after** your maps in `server.cfg`. {% endstep %} {% step %} #### Step 4 — Restart and check Restart the server, travel to the map, and confirm the exterior and interior load ✅ {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} *** ## Load order Order matters in three places only: ```cfg ensure ox_lib # before any map that uses it start prompt_sandy_shared # before Sandy Houses start [promptsandy] # all your Sandy maps start cfx_prompt_sandy_mapdata # MapData LAST, after every map that uses it ``` {% hint style="warning" %} **MapData goes last.** It must start **after** every map that uses it — starting it first is the most common cause of a map loading wrong. `ox_lib` starts **before** the maps that depend on it, and `prompt_sandy_shared` **before** Sandy Houses. Everything else is a pure map resource and is order-independent. {% endhint %} *** ## All Sandy resources Resource names are exact — copy them straight into `server.cfg`. {% hint style="danger" %} **Some of these are alternatives, not additions.** Each pair below occupies the same lot — installing both puts two builds in one place. Pick one: | Install this | …or this | Not both | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | Sandy Hospital **V2** | Sandy Hospital (original) | same building | | Sandy Fire Station **V2** | Sandy Fire Department (original) | same building | | The Corner | Corner Construction *(the pre-build lot)* | same lot | | Sandy Shores Downtown | Downtown Construction *(the pre-build lot)* | same lot | The construction packs are the "work in progress" version of those lots — use them **instead of** the finished map, e.g. to stage a build-up on your server. {% endhint %} | Map | Resource | Download | Also needs | Exterior-Only | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

The house interiors ship in their own resource: ```cfg start prompt_sandy_shared start prompt_sandy_houses_part1 ``` Without it the houses still load — as exteriors only, with no interiors. [**Download Sandy Shared Files**](https://portal.cfx.re/assets/granted-assets?page=1\&sort=asset.updated_at\&direction=asc\&search=Prompt%27s+-+Sandy+Shared+Files) from the CFX Portal. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Exterior-Only Add-On" %} Free drag-and-drop patch that strips interiors from the maps marked ✓ above, keeping the exteriors fully intact. Useful for lower-end servers. → [**Exterior-Only Add-On**](/prompt-studio/sandy-maps/exterior-only-add-on.md) {% endtab %} {% tab title="Compatibility" %} Some Prompt Studio maps edit the same vanilla-area files as each other. If two of ours conflict — missing ground, floating props, broken collision — run the [**Vertex Hub Merger**](https://app.vertex-hub.com/merger): it merges the shared files for exactly the combination you have installed. {% hint style="success" %} **Merging our maps between each other with Vertex Hub is completely FREE of charge** — any Prompt Studio map with any other, no cost, no limit. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Doorlocks" %} Most Sandy maps ship community-submitted [`ox_doorlock`](https://github.com/overextended/ox_doorlock) SQL on their own page — import it and restart `ox_doorlock`. {% hint style="success" %} All our doorlock SQL uses `DEFAULT` for the `id` column, so your database assigns free IDs on import. It will never collide with doorlocks you already have, no matter how many of our maps you install. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} *** ## Troubleshooting
The map doesn't appear at all 1. Check the resource is actually started — look for it in the server console on boot. 2. Confirm the folder name matches the `start` line exactly (they're case-sensitive on Linux). 3. Clear your client cache: `%localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM Application Data\data\cache`, then rejoin.
Exterior loads but the interior is missing or floating Almost always the **MapData**. Make sure you have the correct [Sandy MapData](/prompt-studio/sandy-maps/sandy-mapdata.md) installed, and that it starts **after** the maps in your `server.cfg` — not before. For Sandy Houses specifically, missing interiors usually means `prompt_sandy_shared` isn't installed.
Props or ground are in the wrong place after an update Update the MapData too. MapData and maps are versioned together — a new map release can expect a newer MapData.
Doorlocks didn't import Import the SQL from the map's own page, then `restart ox_doorlock`. If a query fails, check you copied the full statement including the closing `;`.
