I have been playing SH3, off and on, since it's release. I have never tried a mod for it, and I was hope each person would nominate a single mod which they feel is the best overall mod.

*I think SH3 is a great game, and I was terribly disappointed by 4... although I think 3 could have been much more indepth.
IE: No wolfpacks in campaign, no hint of Allied ultra encryptions of Egnima, no Atlantic wall(s) in proper time frame(s), no escourt carriers on search and destroy missions against U-boats, no historic battles integrated during campaigh (ie: forces you to skip D-day). I routinely sink over 100,000 tons on a single mission in full realism... does it effect anything in the campain? No.

Has anyone created/edited a mod to allow access to the rest of the U-boat (ie: quarter(s), torpedo room, engine room(s), etc. ?

Basically, I believe I would enjoy a realism mod more than something off-the-wall.

Thank you for any input.

Stock SH3 ????

Get yourself a super mod

GWX 3 - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=145939
NYGM - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=139231
WAC - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=128050
LSH3 - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=132090

All of the above improve vastly on stock
Whats your computer specs ???

GWX requires a little more oomph to run than stock as is more graphically enhanced tho will run at stock specs
NYGM will run at stock specs easily
WAC needs a super computer well not quite but a uses high res skins where not really needed so is ram intensive
LSH3 - Aimed more at the German language player and will run on a lower spec PC easily enough

Whatever supermod you get you will need SH3commander

After that depending on the mod you choose there are lots more you can add in from lifeboats to additional ship etc
The worlds your lobster

Rubini has a mod system building on enigma; GWX3.0 has built in real occurrences of the war and Wreford-Brown has a radio mod to alert when and where. There are probably 500 mods and more coming.
Use JSGME to activate and de-activate.
Make your own mod to satisfy one of your requirements.
The list is endlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssss.

I'll echo bbw - first get yourself a supermod such as GWX 3.0 then install SH3 Commander.

After that the world is your oyster.

OK.. to clarify: I was looking for nominations for single best mod.

But between this forum and another: I'm thinking Gwx3.0 with SH3 Commander.

PC Specs:

Quadcore 2.4: 1066 FSB?
4 gigs 800 Mhz DDR2
Nividea 9800GTX+
Ageia PhyX card!
Vista SP 2

Your PC specs are more than ample to run any of those I posted
And then some

I think you got a great idea.Ithink it would be cool to go throgh the sub.I am lucky. I live 1 mile from a place called "Battle Ship Cove. Its in the mouth of tauton river, The river is the border of two us states,(Rhode Island & Mass.)They have a ww 2 sub called the Lion-fish there. it is amazing how they lived. the place has a number of diffrent ships, Battleship mass, kennedy's PT boat, a russian flag ship and many more. probaly would be good place to check out on line.
