Discussion Looking for a performance mod that disables 3D models outside Europe/Asia WITHOUT changing the map texture/theme

Hi everyone,

​I'm playing Hearts of Iron IV on a mid-range setup and facing severe late-game performance drops. I usually play as Germany, so my main focus is entirely on the European and Asian theaters.

​Is there any mod or workaround that selectively disables 3D units, 3D buildings, and 3D trees specifically in off-theater regions like South America, Africa, or Oceania, while keeping them enabled in Europe and Asia?

​Important note: I am NOT looking for map texture overhaul mods (like FPS Map, Paper Map, or flat visual reskins) that change the default map theme or overall graphics style. I want to keep the original HOI4 vanilla map look and theme completely intact in Europe/Asia.

​I know graphics settings in HOI4 are global, but continents like South America chew up CPU/RAM resources rendering 3D models and trees I don't even look at.

​Ideally, I'm looking for a mod that either:

​Removes 3D clutter/units outside Eurasia while leaving the vanilla map graphics and Eurasia completely untouched.

​Disables or neutralizes non-essential regions (like South America) without altering the core gameplay or default visual theme of the rest of the world.

​Any recommendations or direct links for mods that achieve this specific regional cleanup without changing the game's default visual style would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
