Removing Mods from Ready or Not: A Comprehensive Guide

Ready or Not's modding community offers exciting enhancements, but mods can also introduce instability and prevent multiplayer with unmodded players. This guide details how to completely remove all mods from your game.

Removing Mods: Step-by-Step Instructions

Regardless of your mod installation method (Nexus Mod Manager, mod.io, or manual), follow these steps:

  1. Unsubscribe: Launch Ready or Not. In the in-game Mod Menu, unsubscribe from all active mods. This prevents re-downloads after deletion. Close the game.

  2. Locate Game Files: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and finally Browse. This opens the game's directory.

  3. Delete Paks Folder (Primary): Navigate to Ready Or Not > Content > Paks. Delete all files and folders within the Paks folder. Then, delete the Paks folder itself.

  4. Delete Paks Folder (Secondary): Press Windows+R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter. Locate the Ready Or Not folder, navigate to Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder.

  5. Verify Game Files: In Steam, right-click Ready or Not, go to Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This ensures a clean game installation.

  6. Optional Reinstall: For a completely fresh start (especially if you won't be using mods again), consider reinstalling Ready or Not.

Why Delete Mods?

While mods enrich Ready or Not, they can also cause:

  • Instability: Bugs, glitches, and crashes can stem from conflicting or poorly-coded mods. A clean mod removal often resolves these issues.
  • Multiplayer Incompatibility: Playing with friends requires identical mods. Removing mods allows seamless multiplayer with unmodded players.

Ready or Not is available now on PC.
