Since I have always been a fan of Fallout games I thought I should mention this mod called Old World Blues. It allows you to play the setting of FO:NV in a war game.
Incompatible with almost everything but simple GFX mods and OWB submods.
Old World Blues is a total overhaul for Hearts of Iron IV: starting in the year 2275 and set in the Fallout universe. Experience the postapocalypse like never before with a dynamic war system that ensures that the AI nations act on their own, respond to aggression, and strike when their opponents are weak. Twelve national focus trees—three of which are generic—keep the game exciting as numerous powers contest in a battle to control the west coast. “Historical Focuses” are placed at the start of every focus tree to allow you to explore alt history with majors and minors, and to let you choose the direction of generic nations. Old World Blues is the definitive Fallout experience, a total overhaul that uses its expansive list of changes to make HOI4 a truly new and unforgettable experience. Welcome to the wasteland.
In Alpha 1.1 the entire west coast is fully playable, containing the following features:
An all new custom map of North and Central America
9639 provinces

After a stunning entry onto the modding scene in February, our team has expanded dramatically. With the help of our new team members we’ve been able to create a truly fantastic update for our community, well worth the 100 days wait it took to make and polish. Over 2500 files were changed with this update. As ever, OWB is a unique and challenging experience unlike any other HOI4 mod, and Update 1.1 highlights this even more so. We thank you all for your continued support, and hope you enjoy playing 1.1 as much as we enjoyed making it.
