About this mod
I discovered how to create completely exterior dungeons: no more loading screens, avoid PC performance issues, create unique atmospheres inside of your exterior dungeons!
There are no secrets at all. I just used my creativity! If you'd like to learn more, download my tutorial!

◊ ◊ ◊ The Tutorial ◊ ◊ ◊
I discovered how to create completely exterior dungeons.
Annoying loading screens won't bother you anymore, and your levels will look more realistic because of the gameplay continuity.
With the help of this tutorial, you will be able to:
◊ a ◊ Create a natural entrance ramp that will lead you to the dungeon interior.
◊ b ◊ Get rid of terrible terrain holes that will appear when digging dungeon rooms/hallways.
◊ c ◊ Create a completely custom entrance doorway that will connect the dungeon to the exterior landscape.
◊ d ◊ Avoid possible PC performance issues.
◊ e ◊ Get rid of sunlight problems inside of the dungeon.
◊ f ◊ Learn to add some effects that will help you to emulate an interior-cell's atmosphere.
◊ ◊ ◊ Warnings ◊ ◊ ◊
◊ The tutorial will teach you how to build a completely exterior dungeon with an underground entrance. Unless you are going to create a dungeon that will develop inside of a border montain, you will be forced to build an underground dungeon.
◊ In order to proceed, you must know the Creation Kit basis. You must also know how to use the Landscape Editor and how to place roombounds and their specific connecting portals.

THANKS TO MATTHIASWAGG, because, without his smart suggestion, you would be forced to accept my horrible and unrealistic PC performance solution: pushing two levers at the dungeon entrance. Thanks to him, because I didn't know nothing about portals and roombounds!
Here's a link to his Nexus Profile
And here's a link to his Skyrim website, which is filled with useful tutorials (an online version of this tutorial too) and other Skyrim contents such as reviews!

◊ My last - and, IMO, my best - uploaded mod: House of the Redguard - by DavideMitra
The first Redguard-oriented abode. Completely exterior house (no loading screens). Unique design. A lot of special features, like staged objects and shield/scimitar on back!
◊ My Work in Progress, that is also my retirement mod:House of the Redguard II
The evolution of House of the Redguard: this time, it will be a big warlord-oriented manor located near the Hammerfell border. The project started as a classic player abode, but this is going to evolve into a little Redguard DLC.
House of the Redguard II will include a lot of completely exterior dungeons and there won't be any loading screen at all!
