EDIT: Here's a protip: For the version number, enter (*) (without brackets). This way, the game will never show the mod as outdated!
In this video, I'll show you the basics of HOI4 mod creation and uploading for the safe replacement of vanilla / DLC content, such as leader portraits. If you wanna make custom stuff like countries later on, this tutorial will still definetly be helpful!
