RealVisXL V5.0 by SG161222 is a checkpoint aimed at photorealism. Its card states it can produce both SFW and NSFW images; plan content filtering accordingly. Declared licence: openrail++.

Recommended generation: sampler DPM++ SDE Karras with 30 or more steps, or DPM++ 2M Karras with 50 or more steps. Recommended negative prompt: bad hands, bad anatomy, ugly, deformed, (face asymmetry, eyes asymmetry, deformed eyes, deformed mouth, open mouth), or another negative prompt.

Recommended hires fix: sampler DPM++ 2M Karras with 25 or more hires steps; upscaler 4x-NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G or 4x-UltraSharp (or another); denoising strength 0.1 to 0.3; upscale by 1.1 to 1.5.

These are the author's recommendations in WebUI terms, not tested settings. The card links a Civitai page for this version, which was not fetched.
