Decided to make a basic collection of civitai base models, SD1.5, SDXL and Pony models. If I need to download webforge / automatic on a new computer these are the models I'd download in a heartbeat.
There are more Loras I could add that are really cool and optional. I added some extra base models, (counterfeit models). There's so many models I left out, pixelwave, niji, photon, photorealistic SDXL, various artist styles and illustrations. But I ultimately wanted to make the smallest list that I'd recommend to any new user.
Here's my list
https://civitai.com/collections/6084343
Most Used models
General base models
Illustrious, Animagine, Pony
Various artistic models
Loras and negative embeddings
add detail / more detail / detail tweaker
simplenegative, easynegative, badhandv4.
Missing are probably SDXL embeddings and Loras, but that's probably up for the users to decide to add.
