Coming Out of Retirement

Greetings fellow captains, I'm returning to the open seas after a 3 year hiatus. I own SH3 and 4 and played both religiously back then, and was forced to quit when my computer couldn't take it anymore. It was never meant to play such demanding games in the first place (1st gen I-5 cpu laptop with 4 gb ram and an integrated gpu, it performed admirably while it lasted) so while I had to give up Subsimming, the computer itself has lasted this long. Well, it's starting to go away completely now and I'm upgrading to a genuine gaming pc here soon, and luckily I stored both cd's and all the mods I had from back then. Can't wait!

Problem is, I looked at my saved mods list and I have a lot more than just the standard TMO and GWX. And I'm not sure I still have the tool that kept everything organized for me. And obviously, I can't remember the name of it either...so I need some help.

First, have I missed much in the way of SH3/4 mods since Fall 2010?

And does anybody still have that mod organization program?

And if the threads still exist on how to properly install everything still exist, maybe a few links would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly, is SH5 worth buying yet? I know I passed over it due to many bugs and the DRM it had, but figured those would be resolved eventually...right?
