1. could not find upscaler named Superscale?
2. What’s the real problem?
The error message is clear, but it can be confusing at first glance because Stable Diffusion WebUI involves too many types of model files. Beyond the model files in the models directory, some plugins may also require model files to function properly.
The real questions burning in your mind are probably:
- What exactly is missing? (Like, what’s the darn filename?)
- Where do I even find this mysterious file? (Seriously, the internet is vast…)
- And once I have it, where the heck do I put it? (models? Some plugin subfolder? )
3. Practical solution
The solution is straightforward: download the missing file and place it in the correct path.
Download the file “4x_NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G.pth” and place it here:”……\stable-diffusion-webui\models\ESRGAN\4x_NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G.pth”
