The VAE is baked into this model. You don't need to download the VAE to use this model. CivitAI seems to have a problem updating this model's data to not require a VAE.
This is an extension of the Satori_StyleGuideXL model to include a much wider range of faces and art styles. You should get beautiful faces of known people. This includes a large number of fashion and ***** models not included in the core SDXL training set.
This model will produce NSFW images (mostly tasteful pin-up style). It's not focused on pornography. Instead it's focused on completing the training of the core SDXL model to include artists that feature ***** themes. Many styles of erotic artists and photographers have been added to this model.
The word "slutty" as in "slutty art by..." will trigger this model to produce extremely steamy images, without crossing over into ******** erotica.
