Versioned options would let us do stuff like have the Umineko PS3 sprites as an option which is installed by default, so people can revert to PS3 sprites without re-installing the whole mod.

The reason we can't do this currently is that mod options are always installed if selected - so the Umineko PS3 sprites would be installed on every update (which is a huge file).

The main issue is dealing with:

If I recall correctly, the same package that includes PS3 sprites also includes a whole bunch of other stuff, so not installing it is simply not an option (and I'm kinda afraid of separating it into a sprite-only pack in case the other sprite packs are missing stuff). Therefore, this could be solved simply by adding the PS3 pack as a mod option (e.g. "Revert to PS3 sprites") while also keeping it as part of the base install.
