[Mod] [HOI4] Hearts of Desire

[Hulitan]

Is the "Domestic Control" national spirit supposed to add consumer goods factor instead of reducing it? Cause it seems like it is combining the bonuses of the other national spirits but the consumer goods factor got flipped from decrease to increase.

Played a lil bit more, but its been a while, so forgive me if I forget to mention a few things, but I have a few things to comment. Woman are very hard to come by as a resource - you removed them from the provinces as it has been ramping the warscore cost immensely, that fair. However, the ai does not build the building related to them, so unless the player mass-builds recruitment centres, there will be zero woman resource on the map. This is an issue, as the build cost is not insubstantial, and the equipment that requires them is needed for a straight up inferior battalion compared to infantry (that Im not sure is effected by doctrines - I havent checked). I suggest either re-adding the woman to the map, but making them incredibly cheap or ineffective on warscore cost (if thats possible to do), or, alternatively, make it so the ai is more willing (or have any will at all) to build recruitment centres, and make the production line for woman infantry as either very cheap resource wise, or very cheap production cost wise (or both). This way I feel you can have a nice niche for woman infantry, weaker then regular, but a whole lot cheaper, and could function as line filler, port defence, or desperate defence options. I wont lie, I also feel there needs to be done more for the support companies. The woman hunter does something positive, but the others only seem to bring negatives. Id suggest organisation regain modifiers, perhaps? That would make sense to me, simulating morale and all. Also, Ive only really played on the non-rt56 version, so this might not be the case there, but general capture mechanic straight up does not work, as it rapidly flickers between off and on. I imagine this is because the ai also has access to this decision, and constantly activates it in perpetuity. Id suggest either making the ai not be willing to activate the decision, or give a decision to the player that dismisses the option for everyone, so they can choose yes once, dismiss it, and not let the ai choose it. 
And yeah, it'd be worth making the national spirits that are meant to be unifiers of all the previous ones not be collectively worse then the ones they unify. In fact, the unifying national spirit ought to be better them. Also I have no idea what the purpose of prostitutes is, nor the laws relating to them, as it doesnt seem to affect much of anything. Looking forward to any further changes you make!

(I do realise I mentioned the female equipment stuff before, but I thought maybe giving some ideas would help. Alternatively, if you cant think of something to give them, or its too much of a pain in the arse to add, theres no harm in removing them for now, no reason to have a support company that just straight up makes the unit worse.)

I think this is actually from a different mod, about genocide—the counter grows based on the monthly population loss due to the corresponding occupation policies. I'd certainly like a working system to display the information more accurately, but the mod's author himself admitted he's not very knowledgeable about coding. It would be great if someone could edit this part.

[DocHolliday69]

Even when I disable the Generals get raped option it just spams my screen EVERYTIME I enter a battle... Can I stop this or is the mod out of date or something?

Anybody found a way to fix the total women counter and the general capture bug? There has only been speculation on what may cause it.

[Jade514]

Hey just wondering can someone post a copy of the vanilla version of the mod here or a mega.nz/google drive link please as in the one that does not need road to 56 i ask because when trying to download it from mediafire i get some kind of dns error even though i don't have a dns.

which is strange since i can download the road to 56 version just fine but yeah won't let me download the vanilla version annoyingly.

The leader portraits aren't working properly in Road to 56 mode. What's the mod order?

If no leader portrait are working, make sure that you have the Road to Anime mod, and it that won't work, try to reinstall your mods and clear you cache

But if this only applies to specific leaders, so that's from the Road to Anime mod, i guess the mod author just kinda abandoned the mod, but i plan to create myself the missing leader portraits

The women counter has been reworked, it should be working now, and won't freeze anymore, the major problem of the old counter was due the fact it was from other mod that reduced the population, so i decided to redo the counter so now there will be no population reduction, and now serve more as a cosmetic than anything else, although i plan to add some events or functionalities to it in the future. 

Also the general capture had been fixed

The mod will be updated soon, i'm just waiting for the anime mods to update for the new DLC, but if that takes too long, i might release the update sonner after i've organized everything better, although several portraits will be missing 

[Geminae]

Looking forward to the update this is a must have mod.

First of all thank you for still keeping this project alive. Secondly will the updated version (whenever it releases) contain vanilla or just the road to 56 version ? And lastly the general capture is only broken in the vanilla version of the mod (it forever cycles between enable and disable without player interaction)

[PixelLover64]

Will there be more unique content for nations, something akin to what the Uk has? Also, this is a very neat mod

Just to let you know in case you didn't, Anime History has in fact been updated!

[Evilgaming_22]

This is my first time commenting on this website so yeah. I randomly decided to join a discord server where most of the anime mods are discussed or whatever. Since you say 56 is what you use the most, the developer for Road to Anime has said that its development has been suspended and "good chance I’ll never work on it again because I don’t play much RT56 in the first place." Completely sorry if you already knew this and were talking about Anime History. Good work on the mod.

Both versions will be updated

I already knew about that and its a shame, but i'm planning doing portraits and events pictures myself for the mod

Im a little confused on some of the things I can make, such as Tents, Outdoor Sex, MagicMirror Van Car, mainly it seems like they go to nothing. Would be VERY helpful to have a guide for alot of this stuff ^^

For now they have no use, they are from the original mod and i didn't want to delete them, but since the AI kinda spams it they'll probably be deleted

Im getting no leaders for Japan or Sichuan Clique. Is the new DLC required or is there something wrong with this mod and Road To Anime? If I turn this mod or Road To Anime off it works fine, but if I have both on, it runs in to that issue.

Are you using Road to 56 mod? i would recomend reinstaling those mods and try again, HOD or RtA should not make any changes to leaders apart from portraits, not anymore in HOD case

[Mister_Wake]

This is an odd question, but I must ask:

How much new content roughly does this mod add?

I am not very good at HOI4, but I have learned games before for the sole purpose of enjoying lewd mods. Darkest Dungeon, for example, I learned to play through this site's content. I would be interested in playing this mod and learning HOI4 to see its rewards, but I do not know if its worthwhile if this mod adds little content.

I reinstalled all the mods and even the whole game, but still broken. I am using nothing else but the 3 mods.
