Add ignoring of certain categories:
Add an option in the updater to let the user ignore certain categories, for example, If the user doesn't want the Studio exclusive mods, let them ignore the "Sideloader Modpack - Extra Maps" and "Sideloader Modpack - Items for Studio" categories so they're never queued for download again unless if the user removes them from the ignore list.

Don't queue downloads of UserData files that already exist:
The updater downloads the UserData files, for example: chara and coordinate into a sub-folder at the game's original location "UserData\chara\female|male\Modpack" and "UserData\coordinate\female|male\Modpack".
So, I prefer moving the files out from their Modpack folder so they're in the game's original location: "UserData\chara\female|male" and "UserData\coordinate\female|male".

The overlays isn't even downloaded to the correct directory, it is placed in a new folder "UserData\overlay" instead of the game's original location "UserData\Overlays" so I move them to the correct location as well.

Then when checking for an update, it queues up the same files again for download just because they're no longer in a sub-folder.
So, I'd like to suggest to let the updater, if it doesn't find the UserData files in the sub-folder then first check in the game's original locations to confirm if they exist or not before queuing them for download.

Why not deselect the updates you don't want when starting the update?

I do but this is just a quality-of-life suggestion.
