What if I've tried to increase the prompt adherence in <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/795765/illustrious-xl">Illustrious v0.1</a> and its siblings? It's only a test though, because I'm not entirely sure if I did it correctly. :)Left image - original checkpoint, right image - modified checkpoint. It seems the 'characteristics' of the original remain in the modified model, but prompt adherence is better for the most part.Another observation - VAE inclusion gets 'reset', the resulting checkpoint doesn't have it.

Illustrious v0.1 and its variants sprinkled with Illustrious v2.0-Stable CLIP

This time I've tried this 'procedure' on an excellent <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/1025051?modelVersionId=1850327">Illustrij v15 checkpoint merge</a>. :)
