So many questions

Im quite new to subsims, in fact i bought my first one a few weeks ago (shV) but discovered i couldnt run it very well, so ive grabbed me a cheap copy of sh3 instead as it was recommended by a friend over either of the newer games.

Im a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of mods available for this game and have a few questions for you guys-

How can i move into other areas of the boat, like the engines/torpedo rooms and so on, i really want to go exploring! I managed to find shift+f2 to noclip around but everything is black if i go through the hatches! what am i doing wrong?
Ive been looking at GWX:3.0 gold, ive spent most of my morning reading the manual and im a little concerned its going to be too "hardcore" for me. I havent really turned on many of the realism options yet as im still learning the basics. Is it advisable to install gwx for a first timer or should i stick with the unmodded game until i know what im doing??
Are there any graphics mods like realtime shadows, better crew models, better clouds etc, i really liked the look of shV even though it only ran at 10fps!

Is there anything else that would be concidered essential that im missing, ive heard good things about sh3 commander.

I expect there will be more questions as i get more into the game!

Thanks guys!
