It's interesting to think about exactly who is paying who to be in service to what. Are bandits bribing the guards in Whiterun, or is someone paying the bandits to maintain a presence there? Who is keeping the mages fed in a little-used cellar under the Palace of the Kings? Do the rulers in the Blue Palace know the secret of Darkminster? Is there a reason they haven't sealed off the door completely?
Lost Passages - The Hidden City adds 10 small to medium-sized dungeons to major Skyrim cities. As with Lost Passages - New Dungeons for Skyrim, each dungeon is Radiant-enabled, meaning they have a chance to be selected for Radiant quests like Bounty Quests, Ancient Technology, Preemptive Strike, Shalidor's Insights etc. Also works with mods that use components of the Radiant system like Missives, Extended Encounters and various loot mods.
All dungeons have a boss with a boss chest and are clearable. Each dungeon is navmeshed, so bring your follower(s). The more complex dungeons are roombound and portaled, so there shouldn't be any performance or lighting issues.
The dungeons and their locations are listed below for anyone who doesn't want to wait for them to show up in a quest. There are four Bandit Lairs, three Warlock Lairs and three Vampire Lairs. All dungeons start at the standard minimum level of 6 and scale up with your level.

NOTES
You should be able to install this on an existing playthrough, just be aware that Skyrim can be unpredictably twitchy about new content introduced mid-game. For instance, some Radiant quests are generated at the start of the game, which means that custom dungeons like Lost Passages won't be selected for certain quests if you install mid-game. You can read more about that here under the Notes section.
If you're running an older version of Skyrim (pre-1130 from the Dec 2023 update), you'll need to install Backported Extended ESL Support for this to work (for a VR version check here). This should allow you to use any mods created with the Creation Kit after the Dec update. If you updated Skyrim in Dec 2023 to the current version you won't need to install this, new mods will just work "out of the box".

I've gone out of my way to make this as compatible as possible with popular city and interior rebuild mods - however, there are literally hundreds of mods that alter the Skyrim landscape, so there may be some overlap with certain mods.
