Ready or Not: A Comprehensive Guide to Removing Mods

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

Removing Mods: A Step-by-Step Guide

Regardless of your mod installation method (Nexus Mod Manager, mod.io, etc.), 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. Steam Directory Access: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and finally "Browse." This opens the game's directory.

  3. Delete Paks Folder (Main Directory): 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 (LocalAppData): 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.

  5. Verify Game Files: Right-click Ready or Not in Steam, go to "Properties" > "Local Files" > "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This ensures a clean game installation.

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

Why Delete Mods?

While mods add content and features, they can introduce errors, bugs, and glitches. A clean mod removal often resolves these issues. Furthermore, mods prevent multiplayer with players who don't have the same mods installed. Deleting mods allows for seamless gameplay with friends.

Ready or Not is available now on PC.
