Last I saw the mod, the best way is to basically pick the Pro-Speer or Goebbels options in Hitler's event tree. Eventually this will unlock the ability for Hitler to designate either Goebbels or Speer as his successor in the decision screen (and another to make this designation public). Which is the surest way to avoid the civil war.

The second involves gaming the interregnum if Hitler dies without declaring a successor, and that involves picking the right choices in events and is a fair bit riskier and costlier.

With my luck, I took the safer path and let Hitler designate Speer as his successor and made it public. Yes, it cost me a lot of PP (Führermana) but I thankfully avoided the civil war. I am just not sure how is economic plan and resolving SS infighting going to help with it?

I've done it, all you do is side with Bormann and do the decision that completely gets rid of the speer-goebells bloc power
Edit: Basically, side with Bormann, don't give any sympathy to the speer-goebells bloc

Even though I do not like putting Bormann in power. In my opinion, my pick for Hitler's successor in TWR goes between Speer and Göring. SS is totally out of question (though I would like to try out Heydrich at a time) and from the stand of Wehrmacht, either Oster's denazification path or Speidel's reforms.

I understand, honestly I'd rather put Speer into power, I would prefer Rommel, but you can't do that :(

You can, actually. By playing as the Wehrmacht when the civil war breaks out but winning it is nearly impossible as you can run out of fuel and resources pretty quickly.

But I'd need to get a list of possible routes for the Wehrstaat as I got to Speidel by complete random, not sure how to get him replacing Manstein.

Not really. Like, sure you can get Rommel as your leader but he won't stay long, since he retires as both leader and military officer soon after, handing power off to someone he deems "worthy."
