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 for complete mod removal:

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

  2. Delete Game Mods: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and Browse. Navigate to the game's folder: Ready Or Not > Content > Paks. Delete all files and folders within the Paks directory. Then, delete the Paks folder itself.

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

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

  5. Optional Reinstall (Recommended): For a completely clean slate, consider reinstalling Ready or Not. While not strictly necessary, it's recommended if you don't plan to use mods again.

Why Delete Mods?

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

  • Instability: Mods, being community-created, can introduce bugs, glitches, and errors. Removing them often resolves these issues.
  • Multiplayer Compatibility: Mods prevent playing with friends who don't have the same mods installed. Deleting mods ensures compatibility.

Ready or Not is available now on PC.
