Important: VAE is already baked in.
This is a Merge model of many of my favorite realistic SDXL Models (and some more artistic models put in for style and consistency) and I really like the output it makes.
This version 6 has better more detail backgrounds and higher image contrast as well as some better NSFW capabilities.
Version 5 has been merged with a few different SDXL eye Improvement Loras and several NSFW Loras. then merged back with older versions of the model and some Anime and Artistic models to bring back the artistic capabilities.
Version 4 incorporates newer released flexible models and seems to improve composition, skin texture, and artistic styles.
Version 3 incorporates hassansdxl_v10 NSFW model at a low 0.15.
And improves NSFW generations without affecting (probably Improving) overall consistency and artistic flare.
Version 2 incorporates RundiffusionXL_beta
Colossus Project XL
and improves skin texture and overall composition. Version 1 is a Merge of: JuggernautXL_version6Rundiffusion

MOHAWK_v14 It is quite good at NSWF , prompting (boobs out) (naked) will usually be enough, but can be improved with the https://civitai.com/models/117603/finenude Lora to add better detail.
Finally, a few recommendations for the settings:
Sampler: I like the Heun Sampler but it is slower than most.
Steps: 30-40
CFG: 7 (Only really tested on CFG 7 but lower may look pleasing/natural.)
Including: "35mm photograph, film, bokeh, professional, 4k, highly detailed" gives very good skin details in portraits.
I like to put the token (Bokeh) In the negative prompt to remove some blurring and improve the image.
Most of my sample Images have used the SXDL Styles Selector on the Photographic prompt injection setting. I like to give all my output images at least a 2x upscale with img2img with high steps and a 0.15 - 0.6 Denoising strength. Some times I the do a 4K upscale with Ultimate tiled upscale script extension.
