Be sure to turn off the refiner. This sounds like you’re making models that aren’t aligned with their base models and the refiner runs in the last steps. If it’s a prompt out of alignment with the default base model it’ll heavily distort. Personally with SDXL I never use the refiner I just use more steps.

SD2 isn't SDXL. SD2 was a continuation of the original models that didn't see much success. It didn't have a refiner.

Well ya because SD2 literally had purposeful censorship of the base model and the clip, that basically made it DOA to the entire opensource community that were dedicated to 1.5, SDXL wasnt so bad so it gained traction but still 1.5 is the king because it was from before the damn models were gimped at the knees and relied on workarounds and insane finetunes just to get basic anatomy correct.

That makes sense. I'll try that next time!
