Its is very realistic too. I personally prefer more cinematic approach, life is realistic enough, but the way it is built is really smooth, I like it. It is realistic everywhere, not just some places. It not, however, compatable with Realistic Lighting mod, which is sad, because that mod is incredibly good. Sadly many ENB presets aren't compatible with it. Not that it doesn't run, but the lighting in many places is just completely screwed up.
Which makes complete sense. I wouldn't fault ANY ENB config for this. It's like trying to install 2 ENB mods at the same time and saying they aren't compatible
When building ENB, youre going off of Vanilla Skyrim's lighting to make it look perfect. Realistic lighting actually CHANGES vanilla skyrim's lighting values, therefore making ENB all kinds of wrong looking. You really can't make a good looking ENB without RL, and then expect it to work WITH RL.
Howevever, I believe that an ENB config that is built with RL + vanilla (realistic lighting with vanilla skyrim's values, allowing you to keep your ENB and tweak it further with RL settings) gives you the most control possible over your lighting (as it lets you control day, night, dusk, dawn, interiors, and dungeons separately.
