Mods can significantly enhance your gameplay experience in *Ready or Not*, offering new content and features. However, they can also introduce instability, causing errors, bugs, and glitches. Moreover, mods can prevent you from playing with friends who don’t have the same mods installed. If you're facing these issues or just want a clean slate, here’s how you can delete all mods from *Ready or Not*.

How to Remove Mods in Ready or Not

Regardless of whether you've installed mods manually, through the Nexus Mod Manager, or via mod.io, removing them is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure you completely eliminate all mods from your game:

  1. Launch *Ready or Not*.
  2. Unsubscribe from all mods in the in-game Mod Menu to prevent them from redownloading.
  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 all contents in the Paks folder, then delete the folder itself.
  7. Press Windows+R, type "%localappdata%," and press Enter. Find the *Ready or Not* folder, navigate to *Ready or Not* > Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder as well.
  8. You have now successfully removed all mods from *Ready or Not*.
  9. To ensure no residual files cause issues, right-click on *Ready or Not* in Steam, go to "Properties" > "Installed Files," and select "Verify Integrity of Game Files."

If you're not planning on using mods again, consider reinstalling the game for a fresh start. While not strictly necessary, a clean install can be beneficial.

Why Should You Delete Mods in Ready or Not?

Mods add exciting new elements to *Ready or Not*, and the game’s robust mod support makes it easy for players to customize their experience. However, a large number of mods can lead to performance issues and compatibility problems since they are community-created.

Often, these issues can be resolved by removing all mods and reinstalling them. Additionally, if you wish to play with friends who don’t use mods, you'll need to remove them to ensure compatibility. This allows you to enjoy the game with your friends without any mod-related barriers.
