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.

Methods for Mod Removal

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

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

  2. Delete Game Files: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and finally Browse. Navigate to Ready Or Not > Content > Paks. Delete the entire contents of the Paks folder, then delete the Paks folder itself.

  3. Delete Local AppData Files: Press Windows+R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter. Locate the Ready Or Not folder, then navigate to Ready Or Not > Saved > Paks. Delete the Paks folder within this location.

  4. Verify Game Files: Right-click Ready or Not in Steam, go to Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This ensures no corrupted files remain.

  5. Optional Reinstall: For a completely clean slate (especially if you don't plan to use mods again), consider reinstalling the game. This is optional but recommended for a fresh start.

Why Delete Mods?

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

  • Errors and Glitches: Community-created mods may contain bugs or conflicts. Removing all mods often resolves these issues.
  • Multiplayer Incompatibility: Mods prevent playing with friends who haven't installed the same mods. Removing them allows for seamless multiplayer sessions.

Ready or Not is available now on PC.
