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), these steps will effectively remove all mods:

  1. Unsubscribe In-Game: 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. Delete Game Files: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your library, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and "Browse." Navigate to Ready or Not > Content > Paks. Delete all files and folders within 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: In Steam, right-click Ready or Not, go to "Properties" > "Local Files" > "Verify integrity of game files." This ensures a clean game installation.

  5. Optional Reinstall (Recommended): For a completely fresh start, consider reinstalling Ready or Not. While not strictly necessary, it's a good preventative measure, especially if you plan to avoid mods in the future.

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

  • Errors and Glitches: Community-created mods can sometimes introduce bugs or instability. Removing them can resolve these issues.
  • Multiplayer Incompatibility: Mods prevent playing with friends who don't have the same mods installed. Removing them allows for seamless multiplayer sessions.

Ready or Not is currently available on PC.
