and there is also my MOD updater that can update mods from any NUMBERED folder version of an expansion to a later version of that expansion. the latest version is the bottom link in the OP.
I have used it to update mods from 1.04 to 1.051 and even 1.01 to 1.051 but for mods from versions PRIOR to 1.04 you will probably need to use the manifest maker to update the entity manifest for the mod(s) otherwise sins/entrenchment/diplomacy WILL minidump when you mouseover the colony cap colonise ability button due to the colonise ability being broken up into two entitys from one in the older versions.
