Step 4 of 7
Install Pure (weather and lighting)
Pure by Peter Boese replaces CSP's default weather and lighting with a realistic sky, light and fog. Most modern filters, including the ones we recommend, are made for it.
The short version
- Pure is on Peter Boese's Patreon (paid membership).
- Install it by hand into the root folder. Never drag it onto Content Manager.
- Sol is the outdated predecessor. Skip any guide that tells you to install Sol.
Pure, not Sol

Not ready to pay yet?
CSP works fine with its own weather. You can follow the rest of this guide; filters made for Pure just won't look exactly like their screenshots.
