Not so simple (or is it?) Illustrious Workflow

Not so simple (or is it?) Illustrious Workflow - v7c

NSFW

🛠️ Purpose & Design Philosophy

This workflow is a high-fidelity environment built for Illustrious. It prioritizes stability and professional texture over generation speed. It follows an "all-in-one" philosophy: configure your prompts, hit queue, and let the workflow handle the multi-stage refinement from start to finish.

Not for Speed: This is a heavy-duty refinement tool. If you want 2-second previews, use a basic workflow.
Personal Use: Built for my specific production needs. It is shared as-is for those who want a "set-and-forget" pipeline for Illustrious. Adjust the settings and models to fit your needs. The defaults on v19+ will be what I used for the sample images.
All-in-One Logic: The workflow handles generation, detailing, and upscaling in one continuous pass.
If you're needing something with more features: Try checking out Silly All-in-one, Multiple Characters With Regional Loras which is on civitai.

⚠️ Disclaimer & Compatibility

Install at Your Own Risk: Custom nodes can break your environment. I am not responsible for troubleshooting your specific installation.
ComfyUI: Built and tested on the non-app version. Desktop app users may face additional hurdles.
The "Your Version" Factor: Your node versions and environment are 99.9% likely to differ from mine.
Nodes 2.0: I do not recommend using Nodes 2.0. It creates unpredictable UI behavior; I will not provide support for issues involving this feature.

🤝 Support & Boundaries

I have not and never will monetize my workflow. CivitAI is the only platform I am maintaining this workflow on. If you find a version of my workflow posted and/or monetized anywhere and use it, then whoever posted it is responsible for providing you any support. This is the main reason why I don't monetize this: I don't want to be or feel obligated to provide support.
No DMs: DMs are disabled due to repeat spam. Please check the Discussions tab below; most questions have already been answered.
Modifications: You are free to hack this workflow apart. However, you are responsible for fixing it if it breaks.
Custom Requests: I do not make private workflows. If you need a custom solution, post a Bounty on CivitAI. There are many talented creators ready to help you for a fee.

Description

v7c changes:

Added Sampler/Scheduler Settings (JPS) node to handle sampler/scheduler selection in one place.

Why? I am lazy and don't want to have to change this in multiple places.
If this ends up causing you issues, then v7b2 is probably the better option for you.

Added Fast Groups Bypasser (rgthree) to the left side of the workflow.

Bypass stuff at your own discretion.

Changed 2nd KSampler to allow Hi-Res fix-like function (again).

You can upscale on this KSampler if you like by changing the "Upscale by" setting to anything above 1. Just keep in mind that the USDU nodes are going to upscale on top of that if you do not bypass them.

All of the Steps from the 1st USDU node to everything after are set on a single node.

You can remove the connecting noodles from the inputs of each "Step" node if you want.

Removed one ImpactWildcardEncoder node.

Seemed pointless for negative prompt. I doubt people are loading loras and wildcards in their negative prompt, but I could be wrong.

CFG++Sampler Select is toggled off by default. You can toggle it on by using the Boolean Switch directly above the node. Toggling it off will switch over to using the Sampler Selector (Image Saver) node.
