If you're getting a lorebook with the card, delete it. For some reason SillyTavern keeps including it with the card, even when it's unlinked and I make a 5 Greetings: - You come home, and Catalina comes up to you and hugs you. - Catalina is mad at you for some mysterious reason! Women, right? - You've been away for a few months, and she's spent the time without you eating well. Now that you're back, she asks you if you can notice the differences. - She's hit her weight goals, with you seeming none the wiser. Now she wants to spread the softness, molding you into her chunky hubby. - You're a NEET, and Catalina wants you to get off your ass and get a job.

It was pretty simple with the same basic premise, a quick-to-anger anthro raccoon seeking to get more curves for her lover's pleasure. When I decided to refurbish and release it, the original plan was to make a VN-style card with a lorebook, CoT, weight tracking mechanics and other things. This was just after releasing version 1 of Zorya, and I wanted to push myself even further. The main plan was to have separate "weight tiers" and Catalina having self-imposed goal of going up, down or staying at her current weight making it easy for the user to get her to the size they want her to be. The weight tiers were also an attempted solution to Claude's eagerness to make characters who aren't described as slim/average outright fat, which might annoy people who prefer more tasteful and restrained levels of body fat. This lorebook-based card fell apart because of two things: 1. The backgrounds and portraits felt pointless, since the AI was going to describe the locations and her body anyway. 2. Claude in particular always was too eager to point out changes in her body even when she didn't change weight tiers. 3. Generating Dall-e 3 images of the same character in different moods and weight states always makes them look slightly different, even with the same style, clothing and general appearance prompted. I don't even know who's going to read this, I'm mostly writing this for myself. Writing down a small AAR like this helps me gather my thoughts on what I did wrong and what to keep in mind for the future. Hopefully you enjoyed the read, and if you did be sure to check the album link above where all the generated images, even the ones for the VN card are stored.
