Safely Remove Mods and Keep Game Progress

by Harper Jan 05,2026

Mods can enhance gameplay experiences, including in *Ready or Not*. However, these modifications may introduce stability issues and prevent multiplayer sessions with non-modded players. Here's a complete guide to removing mods from *Ready or Not*.

How To Remove Mods in Ready or Not

Whether installed manually via Nexus Mod Manager or through mod.io, all *Ready Or Not* modifications can be easily removed:

  1. Launch *Ready Or Not* and unsubscribe from all mods via the in-game Mod Menu to prevent automatic redownloads
  2. Close the game completely
  3. In Steam Library, right-click *Ready Or Not*, select Properties → Installed Files → Browse
  4. Navigate to *Ready Or Not* → Content → Paks
  5. Delete all contents in the Paks folder, then remove the folder itself
  6. Press Windows+R, type %localappdata%, locate *Ready Or Not* → Saved → Paks and delete this folder

After completing these steps, verify game files through Steam (Properties → Installed Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files). For optimal results, consider reinstalling the game if you don't plan to use mods again.

While *Ready Or Not* offers excellent mod support with simplified installation, third-party modifications can introduce:

  • Game crashes and stability issues
  • Incompatibility errors between different mods
  • Multiplayer restrictions (requiring all players to use identical mods)

New players especially benefit from removing mods for seamless cooperative play with friends who haven't installed modifications.

*Ready or Not is available exclusively on PC.*
