Ready or Not: A Comprehensive Guide to Removing Mods

Mods enhance the Ready or Not experience, but can also introduce instability and prevent multiplayer with unmodded players. This guide details how to completely remove all mods from your game.

Removing Mods in Ready or Not

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

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.
Delete Game Mods: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and Browse. Navigate to Ready Or Not > Content > Paks. Delete all files and folders within the Paks directory. Then delete the Paks folder itself.
Delete Local AppData Mods: Press Windows+R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter. Locate the Ready Or Not folder, navigate to Ready Or Not > Saved > Paks, and delete the Paks folder within.
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.
Optional Reinstall (Recommended): For a completely clean slate, consider reinstalling Ready or Not. This isn't strictly necessary but is highly recommended if you're not planning to use mods again.

Why Delete Mods?

While mods offer valuable additions, they can also lead to errors, bugs, and glitches. A clean mod slate often resolves these issues. Furthermore, mods prevent multiplayer with friends who haven't installed the same mods. Deleting mods ensures compatibility and smoother online gameplay.

Ready or Not is available now on PC.
