So i created a few ideologies, then went to the Mod Menu to enable those ideologies on the nation i was working on. When I went to the nation itself though to allow the ideologies, they didn't show up and only the base ones did. Despite this, the ideologies still show up in the ideology menu.

 I had this problem aswell. If the countries weren't made after the ideologies were, then you have to go into the country menu in your mod. When in the list of countries, there is a "pie-chart" looking icon on the right of the countries' name. Click it, and there will be a list of all the ideologies available. Those in green are selected for the country, while those in red are not. Select the ones you want and make them green to allow the country to have these ideologies.

 No, that's not the problem I had.

This image shows my custom ideologies.

But they do not exist under the menu you mentioned, only the base focuses.

 Ah, sadly I am 90% sure you have to delete the countries made before the ideologies. I would test this; delete one country, re-create it, and see if the ideologies show up. If they still don’t show up, I have no idea.

Hello! I am making a mod that, instead of asking one question, it asks many. Like "What if Britain lost the Seven Years War? What if Napoleonic damage was less and didnt require the Congress of Vienna? What if the Carlists won the Carlist Wars? What if USA got a little more from 1812 and went imperialist? What if Italy never left the Central Powers?". These questions, and more, are explored in this mod. And, unfortunately, I am only one person. I plan to use this site to the fullest, however if i ever get to the point where i need custom loading screens or music I'll get coders also. If you would like to join, dm me in Discord. My name is TheLuckyPookie#3520

Will we be able to add states or import different maps with the state and map editior?

I just deleted and re-created one of the countries. but it instead of having all created ideologies, it has two of the ideology that was chosen in the country select menu.

I have two questions. One is how to get countries to "subscribe" to custom ideologies, and the other is will there be an "other countries" option without having to create it manually?

How did you know I had too many pictures of Stalin clogging up my GFX list? (They are actually portraits of Konstantin Rodzaevsky but close enough, right?

Yes, adding descriptions is in the localization files, however I am not entirely sure. A good example of what I'm saying is when you hover over a leader, (in lets say Kaiserreich) it gives you their background and story. 

This is a list of the tools that are all modders dream. DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert at coding, hence why I'm using this website. I have no clue if these features can be added. I know this site has a lot of work to do already, and jordsta is working his hardest to make this website work. This list is not a list of demands or a list to add more work to the pile. It is a list of suggestions. And it's a list for the far, far future.

1. Ideology Creator.  An ideology creator is either the most difficult or easiest tool to make in this list. It's simple: Make a name for the ideology, write a description, and select a colour. This part is easy, but implementing this in the actual mod/game may be impossible.

2. Description Creator: This is a simple thing: write descriptions for leaders, advisors, generals and admirals, so your mod has nice lore.

3. Loading Screen Editor:  You upload your mod, and you play it for a test run. It's about how aircraft was never invented! Then, as you load the game, you see several pictures with planes in them. To fix this issue, a tool to add different pictures, quotes, and even loading "..." may help the mod look much better lore-wise and for immersion.

4. Music Editor: Speaking of immersion, many mods have different music. This could also be an option for a tool, submitting music for a music editor. 

5. Start/Country Screen Editor: With your picture in the background and your mod name next to the HOI4 icon, you gleefully click start. Then you realize the country selector has minor and blanks, countries that have no focuses and those that aren't fun! A way around this is the country/start menu editor. Put your mod name and version next to the HOI4 symbol. Add countries to the country select, and add their descriptions, fun focuses, and horrid national spirits. Maybe you want 14 countries instead of 7, so you add another row!

6. Super Events: Super events are everyone's favorite part of Red Flood, The New Order, and more. But what if they were a part of you mod? Add a quote, a quick clip of music, and a background picture. 

Once again, I have no idea if these can work or not. Thanks.
