🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Node not appearing in ComfyUI

  • Ensure ComfyUI is restarted after installation
  • Check that files are in the correct custom_nodes directory
  • Verify no Python errors in the console

Random options not working

  • Connect a seed input to enable randomization
  • Ensure "random 🎲" is selected in dropdown menus
  • Check that the seed is properly connected

Preset system not working

  • Verify write permissions in the ComfyUI directory
  • Check that the presets folder is created automatically
  • Ensure preset names don't contain invalid characters

Nationality mixing not working

  • Install ComfyUI Prompt Control for full syntax support
  • Use the format: [nationality_1:nationality_2:mix_value]
  • This feature is experimental and may not work with all models

Output prompts too complex

  • Use the Prompt Styler node to simplify for modern models
  • Reduce weight values for subtle effects
  • Set unused parameters to "-" to exclude them

Performance Issues

  • Large workflows: Consider using fewer nodes simultaneously
  • Memory usage: High detail settings may increase VRAM requirements
  • Generation speed: Complex prompts may slow down inference
