Addon: Alternative download option of various DH Mods, list of links to the corresponding forum threads
Inspired by the example of Bad4play to
offer a link to his OneDrive with lots of mods I want to offer the same for a much smaller collection of mods I downloaded over the years (concentrating on those I didn't see on Bad4play's list).
Most files are identical to what the modders (once) offered but repacked as .7z files (usually better compression than .zip or .rar). The corresponding packing/unpacking program 7zip is free and can be downloaded at
7-zip.org for win/linux/mac.
On mega.nz: Various DH mods and scenarios
Graphical extensions and maps: /graphics
On mediafire: /music (including the, beware!!!, huge almost 5GB of Hoi2-Composition-WW2 Music Collection.7z with 861 mp3-files)
It's a free account and if you get wild with downloading you may encounter a download limit (which, weirdly enough, is not specified by mega.nz, so I don't know at how many MB you might encounter it but it seems to be reset after 6h).
Disclaimer 1: I must admit most mods I haven't even played and can't give any guarantee that they are properly working nor for which DH version.
Disclaimer 2: If any owner/modder wants me to take down his/her mod, just tell me. I didn't ask anyone for permission, sorry.
Disclaimer 3: I strongly encourage, instead of downloading the mods here, to search for the original mod thread within this forum to read the description, install notes and to also see wether there are updates and almost always quite a discussion about problems within the mod and how to solve them. In my view the mods here are just as a fallback in case the original download options offered by the modders don't work properly. It is also a good idea to have all our beloved mods on several players' hard disks to ensure no (more) mods are lost due to a mod retired and/or the download link not working anylonger.
Disclaimer 4: Mods still under constant care and update of their modders I did NOT include (mostly). Btw, thanks a lot for the work you are putting into it.
Some aren't by definition mods but scenarios I had lots of fun playing like
# Battle Scenario Pack_scenarios_unpack-into_Darkest Hour.7z (2.3 MB):
Battle Scenario Pack
which are to be directly unpacked into /Darkest Hour, not loaded as mods via the launcher but can be found after game start as added scenarios to the left.
Some links to the original threads of the mods (MB as shown by mega.nz):

- EODAIP - an AI focused Darkest Hour Mod by Sheien: Edge of Darkness remodded for better AI-scripts but with also lots of other changes (probably originally based on EoD 2.2.22). Unfortunately the dedicated forum thread contains an older version with problems with China (version 2023.07.20).
- Sheien has already made many more fixes and improvements on his github project for EODAIP (so make sure to check there for updates). For convenience and to have an uptodate-standalone version here on the forum I combined his updates (as of 21st April 2024):
- FODD 2.5.1.2.7z (304 MB): Fallout's Doomsday 2.5.1.2 by Slaughter

- Francescos Models Mod DHfull_12-02-17.7z (35 MB, unpacked over 467 MB: Francesco's Models Mod, replaces the vanilla black & white model photos with coloured drawings. Here repacked as 7z-file (because the original way of doing it in a exe-file might creep out some). Originally meant to be outpacked into /mods/Darkest Hour Full but probably working also in many other mods.
- models_by-kazoo_24-03-07.7z (22 MB): Kazoo's SKIF style icons for DH full, new and reworked unit images for many countries
- models-1.csv_by-kazoo_.24-03-07.7z (39 kb): alternative model.csv file by kazoo, to be optionally used together with his above model bmp-files
Probably this post and the uploaded mods will see a lot of changes.
