I'm looking to get some extended gameplay out of HOI2DD. What do people view as the best mods, I've had a quick gander through the threads but can't make up my mind.
Any help would be appreciated.

How stable is it? (I've had poor stability problems with mods in the past)
What are you're main changes (in a nutshell)?

And yes I am uber awesome in all things!..j/k of course...
@Firenz
My mod is as stable as mods can get Id say...I dont get loads of complaints put it that way....
However, I would hold off on downloading the current version- a new and better one will be along very soon.
From the big mods I played,I would recommend TRP,CORE,Mod 34,Kaiserreich and 1914.Also,I would give Mod 33 a try,however I haven't played with it much.
mod33 is also very stable and you get almost 3 years of extra gameplay, plus addionel ahistorical paths with the main countries.
It's not a mod as such, but I find the model photos and icons from

add a lot of atmosphere to my game.

Mod 33 is all right, except someone needs to rewrite the text. It was translated from German using an online translator.
Kaiserreich is pretty fun, so is 1914. Havent tried CORE yet but I heard good things about it.

This one rocks. Awesome AI, longer battles, new events...

We aim for a stable and fully functional release every time, even though we're still improving on the mod itself. The only real issue (in reality a Doomsday spying issue CORE is suffering from disproportionally, really) is an AI that sometimes starts DOWing all over the place. The quick-fix for that one is to reload the latest save. We're obviously toning this down in future releases. As it isn't really reproducible it's been a bugger to fix so far, but we think we've found the main cause.Firenz said:
Our main changes in a nutshell are: a heavily expanded tech tree, completely revised and expanded model setup, loads of new events and event chains, revised IC distribution, revised resource distribution, negative resource production (i.e. civilian spoilage), 1:1 naval representation, full world coverage, new leaders, ministers, tech teams, historical accuracy (in contrast to Vanilla, really), and COREd graphics. For starters that is.
The AI is still somewhat on the weak side, but that will get an overhaul in 0.40 (where we will switch to a TRP-style AI). The AI is better than that of Vanilla though.
I managed to find the link to some screenshots as well (from the 0.30 Beta period). It should give some impression of what CORE is about, even though a lot of the tech team imagery has already been changed for 0.40.

French actually. And the text is, while might demanding two readings, okay enough to understand. The only shame is that I can tell the texts where quite eloquently written in French, which the automatic translation kind of muddies up. The mod itself is darn nice I think. The quote "how on earth did these french beat the entire english modding community?" is not entirely unjustified.Romanius said:
Kaissereich as mentioned is awesome as well.
I also recommend installing the graphics mods in my signature. If you install them before any major mod, they all should cooperate quite nicely.
I would recommend Mod33 and Experience of WWII. 1914 is also interesting if you want to try something else than WW2 in your game.
You've been more than helpful guys. I've been dabbling with 1914 today but will definitely branch out.

Cheers for the description and screen shots. I'm downloading it now.

No problem, I don't have my honorary title for nothing.Firenz said:
