Recommended mods for an evil playthrough?
I know this isn't really the best game for it but I'm really trying to roleplay an evil/villian character in a RPG. I recently tried it with F:NV but between the lack of evil companions, lack of evil quests, and the fact that the NCR will quickly get on your underleveled butt if you start killing people I decided to bag it.
I wanted to try this game since I'm not really into the "Bioware" style of gameplay and was looking for a more "sandbox-y" type game to roleplay an evil character in. Also I never finished the main quest or tried the DLC.

Anyway, could anyone recommend me any mods to help out with an evil playthrough? I'm not really looking for anything in particular maybe companions or clothing/armor mods?

I think my last great evil playthroughs were on KOTOR 2 and Neverwinter --and maybe Fallout series.

I think it is easy enough to play evil in Skyrim though -- if only for all the mods and for the Daedric quests, oh and vampire and Dark Bro-hood - Thieves Guild can be justified as chaotic good, neutral or evil, however you RP it.

As for mods, maybe
--Alternate Start
--Better Vampires
--and/or the Become King of Skyrim
which you can kill essentials on. I haven't used the latter but heard it is good and will be trying it.

I'm trying to think of a good companion but it escapes me. I don't know if Hoth is good for evil play.

Oh and you can download

--Interesting NPCs and talk really mean to characters :) Plus there are decent companions there. http://3dnpc.com/ available on Nexus.

You might look at the player homes too...I used Rayek's End as one for a thief/cave dweller and there are others I haven't tried yet. (It's a pain to use (when exiting) with companions unless you can summon them -- or just make them wait on land).

-- Dragon Combat Overhaul (for me) adds to the evil atmosphere -- more chaos, esp if you set Dragons to explode.

--Immersive Patrols might help -- more people to kill. Or some kind of set up with ACE.

--Immersive Weapons & Immersive Armor -- perhaps there is more that is more specifically evil.

Having Dragonborn + Dawnguard DLC helps.

--VioLens for killmoves.

I also use this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/131/? on Preset 4 to keep Skyrim dark with my other modding.

-- XCE Character Creator is great to set expression etc.

I suppose AFT to be evil with companions -- leave them dancing in snow and all that.
