    Boleromix has always been my all-time favorite model when working with Illustrious. However, starting from v8.15, my characters began to look noticeably underage. I’m aware that there is a “Mature” version, but unfortunately it seems to push the appearance in the opposite direction as well.

    I believe this change started around v7.00, which is when I first felt that my model outputs became somewhat awkward. The issue became much more obvious in v8.15 where it started to break my model showcases and occasionally forced me to rely on the age slider to mitigate the problem.

    At the moment, I’ve gone back to v2.90, which feels more stable and stays closer to the original style of my LoRA-trained images. I would suggest possibly separating the newer versions—for example, labeling v7.00 and above as something like “Cute”—while keeping the original version that doesn’t significantly alter character appearance.

    In my opinion, newer versions are not always better. When updates change the original character’s appearance too drastically, it may be better to clearly differentiate them from the original model. That said, thank you as always for your hard work!

    Boleromix は、Illustrious を使用する際に常に私のお気に入りのモデルでした。しかし、v8.15 以降、キャラクターが明らかに幼く見えるようになってしまいました。「Mature」バージョンがあることは承知していますが、残念ながらそちらも逆方向に振れすぎているように感じます。

    この変化は v7.00 頃から始まったと思われ、その時点で出力結果が少し不自然になったと感じました。v8.15 ではその問題がさらに顕著になり、モデルのショーケースが崩れてしまい、年齢スライダーで調整せざるを得ない場面もありました。

    現在は v2.90 に戻していますが、こちらの方が安定しており、LoRA で学習させた元のスタイルにもより忠実です。提案としては、v7.00 以降のバージョンを「Cute」などの名称で別モデルとして分け、キャラクターの見た目を大きく変えないオリジナル版を残すのが良いのではないでしょうか。

    新しいバージョンが必ずしも最良とは限りません。オリジナルのキャラクター性を大きく変えてしまう場合は、元のモデルとは明確に区別した方が良いと思います。それでも、いつも素晴らしい作業をありがとうございます。

    As you said, recent versions have been adjusted to lower the age. The best balance is 2.9. I'll organize the tagging once.

    It was made private for violating guidelines.

    @bolero537 I see similar theme model available. It seems separating them to another model entry and put on sfw setting should work.

    sky503503Jan 21, 2026

    With that being said. I don't it's worth to risk uploading the same model in case the model hash is tagged problematic.
