Fluffy Mod Manager has a category system for several games where it tries to scan assets for a mod to figure out what category it belongs to. Rarely, it might get it wrong and assign the wrong category for a mod. A mod author can override the automatic selection by adding line like this to the modinfo.ini:

category = !Characters > Rebecca

That makes it so the mod manager will always place that mod into the "Rebecca" category rather than trying to automatically trying to choose a fitting category. Remember to get the spelling right, otherwise the category entry in the modinfo.ini will be ignored.

Here's a full list of every category that exists for various games supported in the mod manager:
