A Mod, short for modification, is an alteration of the game files to change the game's functionality.

Good Practice[edit]

Hoi4 Road To 56, Communist China (FT. @DShakey) #16. Mods Used: Road To 56 Use The Brave Browser: brave.com Sign Up for Swagbucks to earn gift cards and other rewards! Manually downloaded mods should include a.mod text file along with a folder. If so, the files can simply be dropped into the mod folder. If one is downloading a newer version of a mod they already have installed, one should remove the older files first. Paradox official mod list; Mods with Wiki pages. Dec 18, 2016.

Make sure that your mod contains a good description of what it does, as well as having a good front page image.Mods that are lacking in presentation may be removed to ensure that quality mods are not being drowned out by low effort submissions.

Installation[edit]

Mods can be installed manually from sources such as the Paradox Forums, or installed automatically via the Steam Workshop.

The folder that stores mods for the game is

• Windows: ...DocumentsParadox InteractiveHearts of Iron IVmod
• GNU/Linux: ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/
• Mac: ~/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/mod/

Manually downloaded mods should include a .mod text file along with a folder. If so, the files can simply be dropped into the mod folder. If one is downloading a newer version of a mod they already have installed, one should remove the older files first.

• Road to 56 is all about alternate history and giving you lots of options to make a new world. If you want to run a purely historical game, this is not the mod for you.

…and More!
