Now YOU can have the power of Mangled Merge for just about 270MB with ability to set weights!
Mangled Merge LyCo works well with most v2.1 models. However, ... It goes a little off the rails with some anime based models. It makes them more ... Anime-ish and breaks with a weight of more than .5.
I've also added a vae that brings out more color and makes the image slightly darker and more contrasted. It is recommended you use the accompanying vae with Mangled Merge Lyco for best results.
The Vae file can be found here, or in this model card. It is labeled as LyCORIS (319.19 MB). Civitai didn't give me the option of labeling it as a vae, but it should save as a pickle tensor (.pt) file and you should download it into your vae folder and then select it in your settings.

The VAE file isn't here, though, just the LyCORIS file
There are 2 files. They are both labeled as LyCoris only because Civitai wouldn't let me label the VAE. One lycoris is 319.19 MB and the other is 269.26 MB. The one that is 319.19 MB is the Vae (.pt) file and the 269.26 MB (.safetensor) file is the LyCORIS.

What does the LyCo actually do?
It adds style and detail. Try it out and play with the weights to see the differences.
