See title. I'd like to have a vanilla install separate from my modded one.

you can have a save with no mods but not split the one title you own into 2 in your library, if I understand correctly.

I was thinking more like a mod manager-type thing. I tried stardrop and it didn't work very well unless I ran it from desktop mode (which isn't ideal)

I did it, but it's been long enough now that I can't remember what I did.

Why do you want to do this?

If you want to be able to play unmodded but still with SMAPI then the Stardrop mod manager is the answer.

You can have seperate profiles where you can choose which mods to load for which profile, so you could have one for single player with all of them loaded, another where they are all unloaded and one for multiplayer with only some loaded for example.

If you really want seperate unmodded and modded installs, we aren't sure how to help but hope that you can find a solution!

Though the easiest might be one on steam and one from gog if you want truly seperate installs.

I mentioned in another comment that I want something closer to a mod manager, not two separate installs, so my bad for not being clear.

I actually tried stardrop, but it only runs if I run it from desktop mode. If I run it from gaming mode (which is what I'm aiming for), it doesn't let me switch profiles for some reason

Ah, annoying that it doesn't work for you. Hope you find something that does!
