I never thought I'd be releasing an update but after experimenting a lot this blend is enough of an improvement to release. It started as a mess of mashing models together but became a very delicately balanced model.

I've lost track of which models are in the mix but it's basically most public models that are photorealistic and maybe some that aren't. Apologies if there's any omissions, but it has at least these, in no particular order:

Elysium_V1

Analog Diffusion
probably f222 as well but I'm not sure.

While Gravy Mix 1 is still at the heart of things, It's undeniable that Dreamlike Photoreal in particular has made a huge difference and helped to make this quality of output possible more than any other model. Their modified licensing requirements as visible on their page need to be read, understood and complied with and will affect commercial applications, but this model is very suitable for creative use by hobbyists and independent professionals. Otherwise permissions for use aren't really mine to give as this is just a blend of other people's work, the openrail-m license applies.

vae-ft-mse-840000 recommended.

I've been using DDIM and low CFGs (3-7) but other settings may be appropriate depending on the subject; the DPM++ schedulers have been great for doing img2img upscaling.

I've found it to be great for sfw and erotic female fake photos, idk how it is for porn or other subjects that's not my niche. It can also get quite artistic with creative prompting.

It's also been quite nice when blended with anime models. Nothing so special that it's worth publishing, but I do recommend trying it out on your own terms.
