Author : Liam Mar 25,2025

Mods can significantly enhance the experience of playing *Ready or Not*, bringing in new content and features that keep the game fresh and exciting. However, they can also introduce stability issues and prevent you from playing multiplayer with friends who don't have the same mods installed. If you're facing these problems or simply want a clean slate, here's a step-by-step guide on how to delete all mods from *Ready or Not*.

How to Remove Mods in Ready or Not

Whether you've installed mods manually, through Nexus mod manager, or via mod.io, removing them is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a mod-free *Ready or Not* experience:

  1. Launch *Ready or Not*.
  2. Go to the Mod Menu in-game and unsubscribe from all mods to prevent them from redownloading after deletion.
  3. Close *Ready or Not*.
  4. Open Steam, right-click on *Ready or Not* in your Library, and select 'Properties'.
  5. Navigate to 'Installed Files' and click 'Browse' to access the game’s folder.
  6. Go to *Ready Or Not* > Content > Paks. Delete everything inside the Paks folder, then delete the Paks folder itself.
  7. Press Windows+R, type in %localappdata%, and press Enter. Find the *Ready Or Not* folder, go to Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder as well.
  8. Return to Steam, right-click on *Ready or Not*, go to Properties > Installed Files, and select 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' to ensure no bugs remain.

If you're not planning to use mods again, consider reinstalling the game for a completely fresh start, though this step is optional.

While mods can add exciting new elements to *Ready or Not*, they come with potential downsides. The game's robust mod support makes it easy for everyone to dive into modding, but an abundance of mods can lead to errors, bugs, and glitches. These issues often stem from community-created content that might not always be perfectly compatible with the game. In many cases, resolving these problems involves a complete wipe of all mods and a fresh download.

Moreover, if you're looking to play with friends who are new to the game or don't have mods, you'll need to remove your mods to join them in multiplayer sessions. This ensures a seamless gaming experience for everyone involved.
