Best mods for Victoria 2 HOD 3.04?

[austrianemporer]

Yes, it was a steam key

If you look at my name, just under it, there are these symbols. I have the Victoria II symbol showing I've registered the game on the forums. You do not, try re entering your steam key in "Register A Game".

Here is a list:
These are mods that improve the base game. HPM is the best of them, especially for realism. PDM changes the game the most, /gsg/ is the most fun of them (my opinion of course, you should try all of them). I didn't include NNM because NNM is included in /gsg/. I personally, find that Victoria II Realism and Rebalance Project is the most boring one so I don't play that. HPM is currently in development out of the major three. If you play PDM, also check out the Divide By Zero submod for PDM.

These are mods that go into the future or into the past. Read the descriptions and you'll find out where. NWO is still a work in progress yet is the best of them all. The Modern Age Mod has been abandoned after losing a competition with NWO. Kaiserreich needs more development but it has stopped developing. The Ultimate Mod is buggy and unfinished but it is a good mod that extends the game's timeline by a lot, from 1603- 9999 with many new scenarios. There is a second, less reliable Ultimate mod on ModDB but I have not included it because the other Ultimate mod is better and has the same content (Ultimate Mod used to be on ModDB with a team developing it, then one person decided to make people buy it and was shut down by Paradox. Everyone else went to that forum and continued developing it.) The Ultimate Mod is still extremely buggy and prone to CTD's. They have some alternate history scenarios.

Ultimate Mod:
Look it up. Cannot provide a link because it has genocide in it. Go to the Ultimate Rebooted forums.

Alternate History:
These two are the best alternate history mods out there. Read the description at the link i will provide you to know what went differently.
Divergences of Darkness:

Napoleon's Legacy:

I got /gsg/ and Napoleon's Legacy from Reddit so read about them on this link.
Look it up. Cannot provide a link because it has genocide in it.

If you think I am missing a mod or link, PM or reply to me.

Note: Some of these mods are not updated for 3.04 such as Napoleon's Legacy, Kaiserreich, /gsg/, DBZ, etc so you have to mod it yourself. Its actually pretty easy but I haven't done it in months and have completely forgotten how to do it so ask someone else.

Field Marshal, which resembles good old VIP the most: PDM or HPM?

I'm looking for a mod that, suppose I do handsfree, shapes a world the way it supposed to be in 1914 (VIP did that 99% of the time). Also I'm really keen on late-game historical wars such as Russo-Turkish Wars, Sino-Japanese War, Russo-Japanese War, Italo-Turkish War and Balkan Wars, to name a few.

I would go with HPM...it has more events. However, I am one of the few who have been playing Victoria Revolutions since the economy does not go bananas...

On the way! Played HPM as Japan and in 1875 France annexed Korea...

I don't play Europa Universalis without Extended Timeline, but in CKII, HoIIV, Stellaris and Vic2 I don't especially enjoy mods. I feel like I want to play it like "God intended it" or in this case Paradox.

I don't play PDX games without modding them. I don't like some of the decisions the developers made, so I change some things to suit me. I also have to change some of the mods I install...such as HPM, I had to get rid of the colonial land give away in that mod. Doing so in HPM, for example, dramatically reduced the railroading feel of that mod.

I think the best mods, for any PDX game, is anything you do for yourself, even if it is simply modding a mod.

Does HPM have events for if Canada, Columbia, Newfoundland etc. become independent, they apply for USA statehood?
