Hello everyone!
I tuned up graphical mod, using the latest version of ENB v.102 +FX + Realistic Lighting Without Post-Processing v.1.6 by 747823! The main feature it's a definitely incredible the nights by totaly changing principles of light by Realistic Lighting mod. I like him, but it's not optimized. Very dark nights...very dark in caves and in houses. Night - just a big problem. And with my settings "black" changes to beautiful dark. U can see the difference by own eyes. Its a big difference with original. Optimized FXAA setting, designed to achieve more realistic, natural gameplay. By using RL without post processing + tuned up shadows & grass fade achieved better performance in the game even on middle PCs with high-ultra settings!

Also check your settings in the file skyrimprefs.ini, optional i attached skyrimprefs settings with fixed shadows & tuned up fade settings into "optional" folder!

Attached 20 screenshots.
Please leave comments, your feelings. They are very interesting to me.

This mod is targeted at a medium and high-end PC.

=INSTALLATION=
1) Extract the contents of archive into your main Skyrim directory with the game executable.
2) Plug-file to skyrim game "Realistic Lighting - Full.esp".
3) Check your settings in the file skyrimprefs.ini with my optional setting file

=COMMENTS=
1) STRONGLY RECOMMENDED using only with Realistic Lighting - Full.esp graphic mod.
2) If you full copy my skyrimprefs.ini, SET YOUR display resolution, to changing iSize H & iSize W settings.
3) For default - SSAO disabled. In my system it cuts 10-20 FPS with 3 times more load screen without some graphical significant advantages. For Enabled, open enbseries.ini, and add a line: bFloatPointRenderTarget=1, and set EnableAmbientOcclusion=true, UseIndirectLighting=true
4) Be aware! SKSE module with Acceleration layer not only increase productivity but also spoil the shadows.
5) If you have low FPS, change first of all shadow settings, also grass settings eating a decent FPS.
U can change some settings to boost FPS without Graphical loss + fix shadows. In skyrimprefs.ini:
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=2048
iShadowMaskQuarter=5
iBlurDeferredShadowMask=4
fShadowDistance=1024
fInteriorShadowDistance=1024
fShadowLODMaxStartFade=1000.0
fSpecularLODMaxStartFade=2000.0
fGrassStartFadeDistance=1024.0000
fGrassMaxStartFadeDistance=2048.0000
fGrassMinStartFadeDistance=400.0000
