Smaller 3D Infantry Model

Description
Warning
If you don't have a specific DLC, please manually delete it in the mod folder. You can access this by clicking on the 3 dots on the mod in the Playsets section, and click "Show in folder"

Go to gfx\entities, then delete the .asset file of a DLC you don't own.

⚠️ Important:
DON'T delete files that DO NOT start with DLC codes (BBA, AAT, etc.), as these are part of the base game.

DON'T delete tfv, dod, and wtt as these are integrated DLCs and is in the base game. Also, pcp is a free DLC that everyone have, so unless you want it disabled, you don't need to delete it.

  • AAT = Arms Against Tyranny
  • BBA = By Blood Alone
  • WW = Götterdämmerung
  • _LaR = La Resistance
  • MTG = Man The Guns
  • NSB = No Step Back
  • _BfB = Battle for the Bosporus
  • pcp = Poland: United and Ready
  • TOA = Trial of Allegiance
  • GoE = Graveyard of Empires

Resubscribe to get the original files back.

Information
This mod aims to completely rescale all infantry units, including cavalry, camelry, bicycle, motorized, mechanized, and special forces (mountaineers, marines, and paratroopers).

All these units are rescaled to 75% of their original size, which I personally believe strikes the perfect balance between a non-claustrophobic appearance and ensuring the units remain clearly visible.

If you have any feedback, whether it's reporting a bug or offering a critique, please feel free to share it in the comments.

Compatibility
This mod supports all DLCs.

Ironman/Multiplayer compatible.

This mod does NOT support other mods that adds new infantry assets, for e.g. Kaiserreich and etc., but it will still work if the mod only changes infantry textures.


Cheers!

@DaVincix do you have all DLCs? If you don't then refer to the description, mine works fine.

Ah ... forget my comment about WA. Just checked according files, and there is no conflict. If there is something, then it is vanilla vs your mod.

Excellent mod, thanks a lot! A sure favorit in my HoI4 mod list.

I'm using it alongside World Ablaze (WA), no issues, other than that i noticed iirc. one or two not size-reduced inf models. No real problem, but if you, exsolvere, happen to try WA some day, maybe you can take a look at that?

@NRKE Hey, this mod have an incompatibility issue with all mods that changes the model, for example the link you sent. It is possible to make it compatible, but considering how many mods that changes the model, it's impractical to make every mod compatible, and it might even break vanilla as some of the naming replaces vanilla models.

@Pako Kanellos you might not have the BBA DLC, please refer to the description

After further testing I determined there was incompatibility with some mods.

Would it be possible to make this mod compatible?:

If not no problem :) Seems the Japanese Infantry go back to normal size with both enabled.

We have to go smaller

@nazismpanzer I'm 80% sure it's possible, you just have to fiddle around and change the model itself, but I'm not great with those :P

@NRKE Hey, if you're mentioning about the game, maybe you deleted the pcp DLC and enabled it in-game?

If you're talking about the thumbnail, yes it's for showing the difference.
