The base game is kinda ideologically meh at best and leaves you wanting for loads of DLC to get the most out of it. Kaiserreich is perfectly adequate for a first time player.
i’m copying the mod installation guide from the cs rin hoi4 mod topic because it was a bit better than my last post lol.
Location of Hearts of Iron mods is -> \My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\Mod\ . If there is no Mod folder create
Download the archived file for a mod from link provided above.
Archive files are named with numbers like link of the mods on Steam. To see what mods you want look the link mod id and search it in MEGA.
Extract the archive File contents to temporarily folder.
Take the “Descriptor.mod” file, rename it to <modname>.mod, put it in the \Mod\ root directory.
Edit the .mod file with notepad (or any text editor program), edit only this line: (this is just the example of one mod)
archive=“blorg.zip”
to
path=“mod/blorg”
All other lines leave to be the same. Now save the edited .mod file.
Make new folder in the same \Mod\ root directory and name it the same you edit in “Descriptor.mod” (in this case “blorg”).
Now place all folders and files if any from temporarily folder to the new folder you will create in the \Mod\ root directory (“blorg” folder).
This will look like this:
\Mod\Blorg<mods files and folders>
\Mod\blorg.mod
i get the game from cs.rin.ru, and i get kaiserreich here. let me know if you have any questions!
every crack I’ve gotten includes a launcher with it. Might be in the folder you downloaded, like an installer for paradox launcher. It might not have the full functionality of the launcher (doesn’t start the game from launcher, have to use shortcut), but it’ll do for mod setup.
and manually installing the mods is more difficult than through steam so be sure to take your time and google when you have questions
