Mods can significantly enhance the gameplay experience in *Ready or Not*, providing new content and features that can breathe fresh life into the game.

If you're looking to restore the game to its original state or need to troubleshoot issues, here's a step-by-step guide on how to remove all mods from *Ready or Not*.

How to Remove Mods in Ready or Not

*Ready or Not* offers various ways to install mods, whether manually, through the Nexus mod manager, or via mod.io. Regardless of the method you used, follow these steps to completely delete your mods:

1. Launch *Ready or Not* and navigate to the in-game Mod Menu.

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 on Browse to access the game's folder.
6. Navigate to *Ready or Not* > Content > Paks. Delete all files within the Paks folder, then delete the Paks folder itself.
7. Press Windows+R, type in %localappdata%, and hit Enter.
8. Locate the *Ready or Not* folder, go to *Ready or Not* > Saved > Paks, and delete this Paks folder as well.

Mods add exciting new elements to *Ready or Not*, with the game's robust mod support making it easy for everyone to enjoy these enhancements. However, an overload of mods can lead to errors, bugs, and glitches due to their community-driven nature. Often, the solution to these issues involves wiping all mods and reinstalling them selectively.

Additionally, mods can restrict your ability to play with others; you can only join games with players who have the exact same mods installed. If you're eager to play with friends new to the game or those without mods, you'll need to remove your mods to sync up with them.
