Install MODS that add detail roads to the maps, an additional room to Breezeholm, the ability to make white Daedric armor tinged with gold and blood, give all vendors 10000 gold and the desire to buy everything you want to sell them.
Once you've started the game, save it just before you're asked your name at Helgen, so you never again have to ride in that wagon (start all future characters, if there are any, from this save).
Once past the dragon fight there, go right to Dragonreach and head to the alchemist/enchanting tables.
Use console codes to raise your enchanting/alchemy and smithing skills to 100. Be aware, you'll now be about lvl20. Put perks in the critical alchemy and enchanting trees and the remaining perks in smithing toward the type of armor that you like best --- I personally like Daedric for the ultimate mod, but glass is very sixy. It doesn't matter where you stop (ebony, glass, daedric), it's only important that it looks good. if you don't have enough perks for these three trees, just use the console codes again and give them to yourself.
Give yourself 100,000 gold and buy iron armor. Or console code the items you need for alchemy and enchanting. Google the enchanting/alchemy loop, but look specifically for the fortification one. Wearing the alchemy-enchanted iron armor make increasingly powerful fortification potions until the % gains go into the 1000s%. Make enough of those to go crazy with --- 20+. You can make infinite smithing potions, too --- just to be on the safe side. Don't worry about ingredients --- console code what you need.
While you're here, code yourself some full-health healing potiions and oodles of Jarrin root for 4800-damage poisons.
If you're too lazy to go to the forge and craft your own armor (and who these days isn't) ... just console code again, whatever you want. If you use the ultimate mod, you'll have to craft. Go nuts, enchanting whatever is appropriate (remember grand soul gems have codes, too). Don't forget to build a whole second set of armor and weapons for your follower. Don't bother with shields, you'll never need them.
