📦 Performance Visual Booster
Tired of lag in late-game? Want HoI4 to run smoother without losing any core mechanics?
This mod dramatically boosts visual performance by disabling non-essential graphical effects — while keeping all gameplay untouched.

🔧 My First HOI4 Mod – Built with My Custom AI 🤖
This is my first ever mod, and I’m proud to share what I truly consider a masterpiece.
Crafted with love and AI-assisted coding, it makes HoI4 feel like a high-end strategy game — even on lower-end systems.

🧪 Performance Test – Real Results
Scenario: End of a New Beginning mod + Ultra Graphics
Zoom Levels Tested:
✅ Fully Zoomed In
✅ Mid-Europe View
✅ Fully Zoomed Out

Speed Benchmark:
⏳ 1 in-game day (24 hours) now takes just ~3 real-life seconds

📈 That’s a performance boost of ~73% to 80%!
Before optimization, the same situation took 11–15 seconds per day.

🎮 What This Means for HOI4 Players
✅ Massive FPS Stability – even with overhaul mods like TNO, Kaiserredux, EoaNB
✅ Full visual fidelity preserved – no gameplay or AI compromise
✅ Smooth game speed – late-game no longer drags
✅ Multiplayer-friendly – client-side only mod
