Mods can significantly enhance your gaming experience in *Ready or Not*, offering new content and features that can make the game even more exciting. However, these mods can also introduce stability issues and prevent you from playing with friends who don't use mods. If you're facing these problems, here's a step-by-step guide on how to completely remove all mods from *Ready or Not*.

How to Remove Mods in Ready or Not

Whether you've installed mods manually, through the Nexus mod manager, or via mod.io, you can easily delete them by following these straightforward steps:

  1. Launch *Ready or Not*.
  2. Unsubscribe from all mods using the in-game Mod Menu. This step is crucial as it prevents the mods from re-downloading after deletion.
  3. Close *Ready or Not*.
  4. Open Steam, right-click on *Ready or Not* in your Library, and select 'Properties'.
  5. Go to 'Installed Files' and click 'Browse' to access the game’s folder.
  6. Navigate to *Ready or Not* > Content > Paks.
  7. Delete everything inside the Paks folder, then exit and delete the Paks folder itself.
  8. Press Windows+R, type in %localappdata%, and hit Enter.
  9. Locate the *Ready or Not* folder, navigate to Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder as well.
  10. You've now successfully removed all mods from the game.
  11. To ensure no bugs remain, 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 to reinstall mods, consider giving your game a fresh reinstall for optimal performance, though it's not strictly necessary.

Mods can greatly enhance *Ready or Not* by adding new content and features, thanks to the game's robust mod support and user-friendly download process. However, installing numerous mods can lead to errors, bugs, and glitches, as these are community-created and may not always be perfectly compatible. Often, the best way to resolve these issues is by completely removing all mods and selectively reinstalling them.

Moreover, if you have mods installed, you won't be able to play multiplayer with friends who don't have the same mods. If you're looking to enjoy the game with new players or friends who prefer a vanilla experience, you'll need to delete all mods to ensure compatibility.

*Ready or Not* is currently available for PC players.
