Cold Waters, Wolfpack, Silent Hunter III, Silent Hunter IV what to pick?
Heyo, I’m quite new and never really played a subsim, I want it to not be really complex and for there to be mods that include modern subs, campaigns, missions and mods that could maybe enhance the game graphics wise for older games like SH III, IV, and for the game not to be just focused on crew and for the crew to be on the easier side of things to manage, Thank you.

1st welcome FrenzyBread
It depends on which time or era interests you most. Wolfpack and SH3 is World war 2 in german U-boats, SH 4 is World War 2 in US submarines (though there is a mod converting it for german U-boats), while Cold waters plays during the 'Cold war' times post 1945. Wolfpack is about online playing together in a boat or several, though it is also possible alone. Crew management is there in SH3 and a bit more in SH4, but you can switch it to pretty easy mode to escape micro-managing or entirely stop it with certain mods. Have not played Cold waters yet but i guess there is almost no crew managing (? not sure). There are mods for modern subs fo SH3 and 4, but when you atre interested in modern subs i would go for "Cold waters", or "Dangerous waters". Lots of missions there.. There will sure be others with (better) hints, have fun!

So now the real question is, SH 3 or SH4?

SH3 and SH4 both should not be a problem on Windows 10 machines, but you may need to run it off 'Steam' due to the original DRM 'protection' on the older DVDs.
SH 3 has lots of mods, as has SH4. SH4 is a bit better graphics-wise. Regarding tweaking those to modern/post '45 submarines someone else should chime in
