What are the best potential mods for HOI4? One that immediately springs to mind for me is a mod that deals with the aftereffects of TL-191's second great war. Afterall, the Confederacy's Freedom Party and other Fascist nations of the Entente have been defeated but the US and the victorious European Empires of Germany and Austria-Hungary are now effectively engaged in the early stages of a Cold War. Could we see a Fatherland style mod with super-bomb development? Alternatively, could we see a different mod that handles it in a similar way to the Man in the High Castle or Fatherland?
Best potential mods for HOI4?
- Thread starter CanveyFanNumberOne
- Start date
Have some ideas
- No British Empire(France wins seven years war)
- What if the US broke apart not long after founding
- Sucessful Paris Commune
- 20th century full spanning mod
- Interwar mod allowing you to play from 1918 to 1946
- Post-WW3 post-apocalyptic mod
- Collapse of a total hegemonic empire or world hegemon(I know TNO3 kinda ran on this premise and there was once a mod based on this premise that died out, but have an idea for a ASB Soviet total victory that sees leftist ideologies literally dominate the world due to the USSR rolling a shitton of nat20s, only for the cracks to show up in the 90s and the 2000s; think Red World on even more drugs)
- Some sort of space-based total conversion(I know SW mods are being developed through)

The TL-191 mod is far from completion, hopefully that changes someday. Also would like to see High Castle made in HOI4. There are two very good Axis victory ones (The New Order and Thousand Week Reich, latter is much better imo), but neither include a Nazi conquest of North America. Yes, it’s mostly ASB, but it’s still fun to think about.
I’m not sure if this has been done, but maybe a no World War I scenario? Several smaller wars break out between powers during the 1910s and 20s, but the conditions would lead to a vastly different Europe when compared with Kaiserreich and other alt-WWI mods.

I used to work on a mod of that kind for DH. Would be neat if there was something similar for HoI4 as well -- I personally don't own a copy of the game.
Would a MOD off of Harry Turtledoves WorldWar/Colonisation series be plausible.
What Madness is This? Choose your favorite brand of lunatic tyranny and try to rule the world. Should come with a world devastation mechanic.
I would love to see a sort of superhero-universe WW2 mod. Not a total conversion, but like an add-on system where you can devote resources to getting superhero units and send them on missions. Obviously all events should include panels from WW2-era propaganda comics.
A more realistic Confederate-victory mod would be nice, maybe inspired by @thekingsguard 's Communist Confederacy idea.

A hypothetical mod loosely based on the 1900 map game on this site could be interesting. Here's a brief summary:
- Roosevelt wins in 1912. By 1936 the main US parties are the Democrats and the Progressives, with the Socialists being outsiders.
- Austria-Hungary federalizes and allies itself with Russia and the Ottomans. By 1907 war breaks out between them and Germany, France and the UK.
- WW1 is a clear win for the Entente. Austria Hungary and Russia collapse while Turkey falls under extremist "national socialist" rule.
- In China the CRA take power and form a Republican government that covers most of the country. Russia eventually is divided between the Communists and the Kolchak regime.
- Italy falls under a fascist regime, but by 1937 is challenged by southern socialists. Ethiopia seeks territorial expansion.
- The UK has massive influence across the world. Many paths are possible to be persued.
- A world war is invetiable as the two Russias compete for Idel-Uran.
- There are two global alliances: The pacts of Frankfurt and Birmingham. Birmingham consists of the UK, Italy and their other allies. Frankfurt mainly consists of France and Germany. Their allies include China and socialist countries. The United States is not part of any pact.
It's backstory is different. In Anglo-American Nazi War the UK remains at war with Germany with the initial POD being no Afrika Korps. In thousand week Reich the BEF is nearly annihilated at Dunkirk, presumably as a result of Hitler not denying Kesselring freedom to pursue the retreating Allied forces towards the port city. This leads to the UK making peace.

This concept I found on r/hoi4modding looks very promising, though the thread author literally admits he has no idea how to make Hoi4 mods.
Tl;dr it's a timeline heavily inspired by TNO in which the world is embroiled in a three-way cold war between a Strasserite Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States

Cuban Missile Crisis goes hot(I know there is a mod about it but that mod is only about South America)
In Anglo-American Nazi War Japan doesn't get nuked as the Allies decide to build up a nuclear stockpile for use in Europe as the Nazi's have come to the conclusion that the atomic bomb is impossible. A thousand week Reich is basically OTL Pacific War.
Yes, but they get blockaded, bombed conventionally, and starved into it. There's also mention of fighting on the Asian mainland between the Japanese army and Allied troops.
On topic: Decades of Darkness's Great War, and LTTW's Sunset War when that is reached.
