ANALYSIS

This article is for study, exchange and sharing only. Please respect the official release


Let’s get straight to the point. First, you need at least the base game of Hearts of Iron IV (referred to below as hoi4). DLC resources can be downloaded from p 社互助资源站 or other sharing sites; find the archive with the official DLC resources matching your version and download it

Installation tutorial for Windows users#

Open hoi4’s game details page in Steam, click the settings icon, browse local files, and then just drop all the resources from the archive in

Installation tutorial for macOS users#

Since macOS can’t load Windows DLL patches, we need to open this GitHub project: hoi4-dlc-unlock-macos, download cream_api.ini and libsteam_api.dylib, then copy the dlc folder from the original archive into the game directory, and drop the above ini and dylib in there as well
