Ready or Not: A Comprehensive Guide to Removing Mods

Ready or Not's modding community offers a wealth of 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.

Removing Mods: A Step-by-Step Guide

Regardless of your modding method (Nexus Mod Manager, mod.io, or manual installation), follow these steps for complete mod removal:

  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 File Deletion: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and finally Browse. This opens the game's directory.

  3. Locate and Delete Paks: Navigate to Ready Or Not > Content > Paks. Delete everything within the Paks folder. Then, delete the Paks folder itself.

  4. Delete Localappdata Paks: 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 here as well.

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

  6. Optional Reinstall: For a completely fresh start (recommended if you don't plan to use mods again), consider reinstalling the game.

Why Remove Mods?

While mods enhance gameplay, they can also cause:

  • Errors and Glitches: Community-created mods can sometimes introduce bugs and instability. Removing all mods and reinstalling them often resolves these issues.

  • Multiplayer Compatibility: Mods prevent playing with friends who don't have the same mods installed. Removing mods ensures seamless multiplayer experiences.
