Illustrious:
Preview Images were made with some variation of these settings:

Currently running on Forge Neo branch on 5060 Ti 16GB card, but many of my images were made on older Forge UI on a 3050 8GB.
Sampler: I use Euler a
Scheduler: I use Karras
Steps: 30
hires steps: ~15
denoise: 0.3
CFG 5-8
ADetailer highly recommended for eyes. ADetailer can sometimes leave box distortions more than other models. It seems to do this to me more with red/pink themes. Lowering ADetailer's inpaint denoise strength to ~0.25-0.3 fixes this without much loss of detail.

positive prompt example: masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, absurdres, newest,

negative example: lowres, (bad quality, worst quality:1.2), bad anatomy, deformed, missing digits, extra digits, broken hands, sketch, jpeg artifacts, ugly, poorly drawn, blurry, watermark

SD 1.5 versions:

Sampler: I use Euler a, but DPMs work fine as well
Scheduler: I use Karras, auto also works fine.
Steps: 25-35
hires steps: ~15
denoise: 0.35
CFG 6-9
Clip Skip 2
positive base: Masterpiece, best quality, detailed background, intricate details, detailed
negative base: worst quality, low quality, normal quality, bad quality, watermark, signature, extra limbs, missing limbs

SD 1.5 I used several embeddings or detail loras, but it's been a while since I've known what was available.
