Turning off mods in Slay the Spire 2 doesn't require uninstalling everything you've downloaded. You can temporarily disable all mods through Steam or switch off individual ones in the game's settings. Both options let you return to your usual setup whenever you're ready.
How to Turn Off Mods in Slay the Spire 2
To disable all mods in Slay the Spire 2, add the --nomods command to the game's Steam Launch Options. This lets you launch the unmodded game without unsubscribing from your Workshop downloads.
Follow these steps:
- Open your Steam Library.
- Right-click Slay the Spire 2 and select Properties.
- Open the General tab.
- Find the Launch Options text box.
- Enter
--nomods. - Close Properties and launch the game.
You can also use %command% --nomods as the launch command.
This is the simplest option when you want to play without any modifications. You don't need to remove your installed mods or change each one individually.
How to Disable Individual Mods Without Uninstalling Them
If you only want to turn off certain mods, Slay the Spire 2 has an in-game menu for managing them.
- Launch Slay the Spire 2.
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down and select Mod Settings.
- Uncheck the mods you want to disable.
- Restart the game to apply the changes.
This is useful when you want to keep some modifications enabled while removing others from your current setup.
Disable Mods Through Steam Workshop
You can also manage your installed Workshop mods without opening the game.
Right-click Slay the Spire 2 in your Steam Library, open Properties, and select Workshop. From there, uncheck any mods you don't want to load.
I'd use this option if you're having trouble launching the game with a particular mod enabled. It lets you change your selection before starting Slay the Spire 2.
How to Turn Mods Back On in Slay the Spire 2
If you disabled everything through Steam Launch Options, return to Properties and remove --nomods from the command field.
For individual mods, revisit Mod Settings or the Workshop section in Steam Properties and check the mods you want to enable again.
Restart Slay the Spire 2 after changing your selections. Your Workshop subscriptions remain intact, so there's no need to download the same mods again simply because you temporarily disabled them.
