The transparent water is based on all-new internal stuff that, as far as I know, is impossible to retrofit. There is a mod that makes SH3's water look a lot like SH5's, but that whole transparency thing seems to be right out. Also, the ship models are much more advanced, using newer technology as well.

I find SH4 to be much more stable. I pretty much never get CTDs in SH4, whereas SH3 is very touchy about what's installed.

This seems to be a matter of personal taste. I think SH4's crew are much more acceptable.
