LocalLLaMA thread seeks NSFW model picks

The real story here is not a single “best” model, but a workflow problem: people are mixing base checkpoints, domain-specific merges, and LoRAs to get acceptable output and repeatable characters.

• –One reply leans on Z-Image-Turbo for some stills and Pony-style checkpoints for others, which is a good reminder that model choice is usually style- and hardware-dependent rather than universal.
• –Character consistency still looks like a LoRA-first problem in practice; there is no magic base model that solves identity preservation across prompts.
• –Video is possible, but the reply suggests it remains much more effortful than images, with Wan2GP and LTX Video used as tooling rather than a turnkey experience.
• –The self-hosting angle matters: smaller or older models remain attractive because they fit consumer GPUs and allow iterative prompting without cloud cost or policy friction.
• –For AI devs, this is a useful snapshot of the open-source image/video stack: fine-tuned checkpoints for generation, LoRAs for style and identity, and wrapper UIs to make the hardware constraints tolerable.
