Check in the dowloads manager that the library you wish to use is selected as default each time.
Never heard of this tool but i dare say the new Steam downloads manager controls the default Library when it has a Star on it.
Most games incorperate MP and SP saves in the same directory and only activates them when the player chooses MP or SP.

You can manually create them like this but for step 4 go to [Steam installation folder]/steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf
https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/3395163747110198261/#c3395163747110912094


Then if you want, you can specify a name for the libraries, so you see e.g. "Multiplayer"/ "Singleplayer", rather than "Local Drive (C:)" / "Local Drive (C:)" etc.
Select the library in the Storage Manager > [...] > Rename Library

The index would be 2 for Steam Games (index 1 is/was C:\\New-games-Modded).
See how this goes:

"libraryfolders"
{
"1"
{
"path" "C:\\New-games-Modded"
"label" ""
"contentid" "6883638438"
"totalsize" "0"
"mounted" "1"
"apps"
{
}
}
"0"
{
"path" "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam"
"label" "Windows"
"contentid" "5803774082362779736"
"totalsize" "0"
"update_clean_bytes_tally" "0"
"time_last_update_corruption" "0"
"apps"
{
}
"mounted" "1"
}
"2" {"path" "C:\\Steam Games"}
}
