Please advise how to start playing with Calamity.

I played through the game for the first time three years ago, a couple of times with friends, and never even tried solo. I've been putting off Calamity for three years now, and now, with all the buzz in the community, I've decided to start playing.I wanted to ask a few questions regarding how to start playing.

  1. Should I wait for tModLoader version 1.4.5 to get the most out of the game? I know no one knows when it's coming out, much less when it's coming out for mod, considering all the mess the developers are in.But nevertheless, I have no idea what has changed in the new version other than the fact that they improved the crafting system.

  2. Is it worth replaying Terraria to refresh my memory before Calamity?

  3. How and where can I download the latest Calamity mod? I know it's available for download from the Steam Workshop, but listening to all these endless rumors and comments about all this drama surrounding the mod, I'm confused about what's true and what's not. I heard that the music and several sprites were cut from the mod's workshop version, and if that's true, So where can I download the latest NORMAL version of the mod?

  4. I've heard that Calamity has a lot of unofficial add-ons. How many are there, and is it worth playing them on my first playthrough, or can I get by with just Calamity at first?
