In OMM, it doesn't do this. Instead, I can only have one or the other selected. I was wondering if it'd be possible to let it do that in OMM like OvGME does it. Yes, in "Channel properties", go to tab "Backup storage" and enable "Allow Mods install overlap (advanced backup process)". Notice this option is per-channel, if you want it to be enable for all channel, you must explicitely enable it for each. Edited May 26 by sedenion

OhNoMyHookBroke Posted May 27 Posted May 27 I'm also now having a different problem. Every time I close OMM, it seems to completely lose all of my channels. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, or if I did anything wrong to begin with. It also doesn't have the administrator badge like OvGME automatically does, so I need to manually give it those permissions.

They are not "lost", they are simply "not reopened yet", Hubs (what contain channel, folders, etc) still where you created them. OMM Hubs are not centralized and opaque like in OvGME "configurations", they are human-readable set of XML files within folder structure, so they can be moved from there to there, copied, archived, manually edited, etc. and by the way, you have to explictly open them (as file) in OMM. Anyway, you can configure OMM so it opens a set of Hubs you want each time it starts. This is in the Manager Properties, simply browse and add Hubs you want to be automatically opened, check the proper checkbox, and that's it. 9 hours ago, OhNoMyHookBroke said: It also doesn't have the administrator badge like OvGME automatically does, so I need to manually give it those permissions. Yes, this is intentional, because this is a bad practice for a software of such type to automatically request privilege escalation at startup (and you should beware software that did such thing, if they are not explicitly administration tool). If you want to run it as administrator, you have to do it manually, like a "conscient user", either by contextual menu (run as administrator) or by checking the option in the shortcut parameters. (Anyway nowadays Windows gives you a tons of false-positive or irrelevant security alerts to fool user, make him paranoid and give him an illusory sensation of security... so, yes, such advice appear a bit derisory) Edited May 28 by sedenion

I'm making the swap to OMM now. Appreciate your help and the work done!
