Safe Wipe Mods Without Losing Progress

by Oliver Oct 25,2025

Game mods can enhance your Ready or Not experience, but they may also introduce stability issues and compatibility problems when playing with unmodded friends. Here's a complete guide to removing all mods from Ready or Not.

Complete Mod Removal Guide for Ready or Not

Whether you installed mods via Nexus Mod Manager or mod.io, removing them follows the same straightforward process:

Launch Ready or Not. Navigate to the Mod Menu and unsubscribe from all mods to prevent automatic redownloads. Exit the game. In Steam, right-click Ready or Not in your Library → Properties → Installed Files → Browse. Open Content > Paks and delete all contents plus the folder itself. Press Windows+R, type %localappdata% → locate the Ready or Not folder → delete the Paks subfolder (Ready or Not/Saved/Paks).

To ensure complete removal, verify your game files through Steam (Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files). This checks for potential remaining modded files.

For optimal results, consider reinstalling the game if you don't plan to use mods again – though this step remains optional.

While Ready or Not offers excellent mod support with accessible installation, community-created content can sometimes negatively impact gameplay.

Popular mods may introduce unintended bugs or glitches due to compatibility issues. Many technical problems resolve after removing mods entirely.

Mods also limit multiplayer options – you can only play with users who have identical mod configurations. New players typically require a mod-free environment.

Ready or Not is currently available on PC.
