If you're looking to remove all mods from *Ready or Not*, here’s how you can do it effectively.

Regardless of whether you've installed mods manually, via Nexus Mod Manager, or through mod.io, the process to delete them is straightforward. Follow these steps:

  4. Open Steam, right-click on *Ready or Not* in your Library, and select Properties.
  5. Go to Installed Files, then click Browse to access the game’s folder.

  7. Press Windows+R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter. Locate the *Ready or Not* folder, go to Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder as well.
  8. You've now removed all mods from *Ready or Not*. To ensure no bugs remain, right-click *Ready or Not* in Steam, go to Properties > Installed Files, and select Verify Integrity of Game Files.

Mods offer a fantastic way to enhance *Ready or Not* with new content and features, thanks to excellent mod support from the developers. However, installing numerous mods can lead to errors, bugs, and glitches, as these are community-created and can sometimes conflict with the game's stability. Often, the best solution to these issues is to remove all mods and reinstall them selectively.

Additionally, mods can restrict multiplayer compatibility. If you wish to play with friends who are new to the game or don't have the same mods installed, you'll need to remove your mods to join them in gameplay.

*Ready or Not* is currently available for PC.
