Wipe Mods Safely: Preserve Your Progress

by Nora Mar 28,2025

Mods can significantly enhance the experience of *Ready or Not*, offering new content and features that can breathe fresh life into the game. However, they come with their own set of challenges, such as potential stability issues and restrictions on multiplayer compatibility with non-modded players. If you're encountering these problems or simply want to start fresh, here's how you can completely remove all mods from *Ready or Not*.

How to Remove Mods in Ready or Not

Regardless of whether you've installed mods manually, through Nexus Mod Manager, or mod.io, you can easily delete them by following these steps:

Launch *Ready or Not*.
Unsubscribe from all mods via the in-game Mod Menu. This step is crucial as it prevents the mods from redownloading after deletion.
Close *Ready or Not*.
Open Steam, right-click on *Ready or Not* in your Library, and select 'Properties'.
Navigate to 'Installed Files' and then click 'Browse' to access the game’s folder.
Go to *Ready or Not* > Content > Paks. Delete everything inside the Paks folder, then delete the folder itself.
Press Windows+R, type in %localappdata%, and press Enter. Locate the *Ready or Not* folder, navigate to *Ready or Not* > Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder as well.
You've now removed all mods from the game. To ensure no residual issues, right-click *Ready or Not* in Steam, go to 'Properties', then 'Installed Files', and select 'Verify Integrity of Game Files'.

If you're not planning to use mods again, consider reinstalling the game for a completely fresh start, though this step is optional.

Mods are an excellent way to expand the gameplay of *Ready or Not*, thanks to the game's robust mod support and straightforward mod installation process. However, installing numerous mods can lead to errors, bugs, and glitches, as mods are community-created and their quality can vary. Often, the solution to these problems involves wiping all mods and possibly reinstalling them.

Additionally, mods can restrict your ability to play with others unless they have the exact same mods installed. If you're looking to enjoy the game with friends who are new or prefer not to use mods, deleting all mods is necessary to ensure compatibility.

*Ready or Not* is available now for PC.
