Ready or Not: How To Wipe Mods Without Losing All Progress

Ready or Not Mod Removal Guide: A Clean Slate for Your Gameplay

Ready or Not's modding capabilities enhance gameplay, but mods can also introduce instability and prevent multiplayer sessions with unmodded friends. This guide details how to completely remove all mods from your Ready or Not installation.

Removing Mods: A Step-by-Step Process

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

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.
Steam File Deletion: Open Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library, select Properties, then Installed Files, and finally Browse. Navigate to the game's directory: Ready Or Not > Content > Paks. Delete all files and folders within the Paks directory. Then, delete the Paks folder itself.
LocalAppData Deletion: Press Windows+R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter. Locate the Ready Or Not folder, and delete the Paks folder within it (Ready Or Not > Saved > Paks).
Verify Game Files: In Steam, right-click Ready or Not, go to Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This checks for any remaining issues.
Optional Reinstall (Recommended): For a truly clean installation, consider reinstalling Ready or Not after removing the mods. While not strictly necessary, it's a good preventative measure.

While mods offer exciting additions, they can also cause:

Game Instability: Community-created mods may introduce bugs, glitches, and errors. Removing them often resolves these issues.
Multiplayer Compatibility: Mods prevent playing with friends who don't have the same mods installed. Removing mods ensures compatibility.
