I really want a simple utility I can run on the mods folder that can tell that:

Surfal's Kickass Mod That Does Everything (v 412)
-and-
Surfal's Kickass Mod That Does Everything (v 417)

need to be brought to my attention so that I can make sure they're really the same mod and ditch the old one (no auto-ditching because I have, for example, two different Alien Civilization mods that are both named the same).

Civ doesn't like duplicates but sometimes creates them, and I have too many mods (it's an addiction, and I'm aware) to scan and catch them accurately.

There's probably an existing utility that would do this with a regex or something, but I can't find it, and I thought maybe someone here might have already done the legwork and actually accomplished the goal.
 
Thanks for the move, Rob, and the correction.

That said, it looks like no one has a util that will do this.

:(

I'm going through my mods folder by hand because Civ just tried to redownload all my mods. Only 3235 items to check for dupes. I'm at ades and have found four already. *cries*
