What are the best regarded mods for this game?

[Rather Useless]

I recall back in ancient times, I enjoyed many an hour spent playing Victoria with the Victoria Improvement Project mod collection, but that was, literally over a decade ago. Does this have similar mod support? What's considered the best?

For game version 3.04 (the current one)

• HPM (Historical Project Mod; succesor to Victoria Improvemnt Project; only on ModDB; this on is closest one on this list to vanilla while providing a myriad of new event and improvements to the base game.)
  
  
• POP Demand Mod (radical revanp of the economic system amoung other imrpovements to graphics, politics, research, etc.)
  
  
• Concert of Europe (Based on PDM above, but with 1821 startdate and more events, improvments, etc.)
  
  
• Divergencess of Darkness (based on PDM; radical revamp of the political map; alt history)
  
  
• Heirs to Aquitania (radical revamp of the political map, events; alt history; largely maintains vanilla game mechanics)
  
  
• New World Order (has Cold War and Modern Era start date, revamped techs, events, political map, graphics, etc.
  
  
• Cold War Enhancement Mod (improves cold war start date for NWO above)
  
  
• Modern Age Mod (self-explanitory; revamped events, techs, political map, graphics, etc. )
  
  
• Minimalism Mod (minimalist mod)

For game version 3.03 (old one)

• Paradox Plaza Mod (ironically only available on Reddit; improvements to events, politics, map, and other game mechanics; this is a branch-off of the GSGVickyMod which was also only available on the reddit though is now not maintained., though can still be played)
  
  
• GSGVickyMod (might as well get the PPM above)
  
  
• Ultimate Mod (we don't talk about this one here....)

lol, alright, thanks. Though now I'm curious about why we don't talk about Ultimate Mod.

That's a loooong story for another time. The short version of everything is that the main guy who first spearheaded development for the mod stole all the donation the team recieve, the team had a power struggle and disbanded. Later another team took over the mod, gave up. Then another one took over, gave up on it. 5-ish more development teams later, including several what was left of the mod was a fan-produced version available on UltimateBoard.net or something like that, and another one on ModDB (the later which was shut down for trying to charge money for the mod; later shut down for "being racist"....though, for most of its time, there were a lot of neo-nazis working on the mods development, as well as some anime weaboos and other wierdos; they were shut down for depicting historical events in the game such as the Holocust, genocide, race relations in America, etc.)

The mod is dead at this point, so don't bother looking into it.



Also a submod for the HPM (only adds flavor, but still gut): https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/historical-project-mod-submod.880610/

Why doesn't Vicky2 have the Steam Workshop?

It's an older game from before PDS opened up their games to the Workshop... and I think from before the Workshop even existed actually.
