ComfyUI

The "Ultimate" Script Hack

The ReActor node uses an internal classification model (usually from a library called ifnude or a custom SFW script). Let's disable the check at the "brain" level.

  1. Close ComfyUI.
  2. Go to: U:\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\comfyui-reactor-node\nodes.py
  3. Open nodes.py with Notepad.
  4. Press Ctrl + F and search for the word nsfw.
  5. You will likely find a block of code that looks like this:Python
    if result[0]["label"] == "nsfw":
        logger.status("NSFW content detected, skipping...")
        return (input_image,)
  6. The Fix: Add a # at the start of the lines that trigger the "return" so the code just ignores the detection:Python
    # if result[0]["label"] == "nsfw":
    #    logger.status("NSFW content detected, skipping...")
    #    return (input_image,)
  7. Save and Restart.

2. Switch to the "Uncensored" Repository

The main GitHub version of ReActor sometimes has baked-in safety. There is a specific "uncensored" fork/version often used by the community for 2026 workflows.

  1. Delete your current comfyui-reactor-node folder.
  2. Open a terminal in custom_nodes and run: git clone https://codeberg.org/Gourieff/comfyui-reactor-node
  3. This version (hosted on Codeberg instead of GitHub) is known to have fewer restrictive filters and more frequent updates for portable users.

3. Check for the "NSFW Filter" Custom Node

Sometimes, a user installs a node called "ComfyUI-NSFW-Detection" or similar without realizing it's a "global" filter that affects the whole workspace.

  • Look at your workspace. Do you see any node with "NSFW" in the title?
  • If so, delete it. ComfyUI doesn't need a babysitter.

4. Why it triggers on a 12GB GPU

If you are doing a high-quality swap, the FaceDetailer (which we set up earlier) might be generating a face that is "too skin-toned" in a way that triggers the mathematical threshold for nudity, even if the image is perfectly safe.

Quick Fix without coding: In the ReActor node, look for a setting called "Detection Provider".

  • If it’s set to insightface, try changing it to yolov8.
  • Yolov8 is much better at "seeing" that a face is just a face and not something else.

Summary Checklist:

  1. Modified nodes.py? (This is the most effective).
  2. Deleted nsfw references in reactor_sfw.py?
  3. Restarted the black terminal window? (Essential to clear the Python cache).

If you do all three and still get the message, look at the Source Image. If the source face image has a lot of skin showing (shoulders/chest), try cropping it to just the head and neck before feeding it into ReActor.







If the comfyui-reactor-node folder is missing from your custom_nodes folder, it means the installation failed to actually download the files, even if the Manager said "Success."

Since you are on the Windows Portable version, we will manually force the files into that folder.

Step 1: Manually Download the Files

If the Manager is failing, we do it the old-fashioned way:

  1. Navigate to your U:\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes folder.
  2. In the address bar of that folder, type cmd and hit Enter.
  3. In the black box that opens, paste this command and hit Enter: git clone https://github.com/Gourieff/ComfyUI-ReActor
    • (If you get a "git is not recognized" error, simply download theReActor ZIP here, extract it, and move the folder into custom_nodes).

Step 2: Fix the Portable Python Path

Even with the folder there, ReActor won't show up in ComfyUI unless its "dependencies" are installed in your portable environment.


  1. Stay in that same cmd window (or open a new one in the custom_nodes folder).
  2. Run this exact command to install the engine: ..\..\..\python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install -r ComfyUI-ReActor\requirements.txt
  3. Wait. It will download several large files (like insightface). This can take 5–10 minutes depending on your internet.

Step 3: Verify the "Inswapper" Model

ReActor is just a shell; it needs the "brain" file to function.

  1. Check this folder: U:\ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\models\insightface
  2. If it doesn't exist, create it.
  3. Make sure the file inswapper_128.onnx is inside that folder.
    • If it's missing, the node will stay hidden or crash.

Step 4: The "Restart" Ritual

For the Portable version to recognize new physical folders:

  1. Close the ComfyUI terminal (the black box).
  2. Run update\update_comfyui.bat just to be safe.
  3. Launch ComfyUI using run_nvidia_gpu.bat.

Why this happens on 12GB Windows:

Windows sometimes "blocks" the automated download of the ReActor dependencies because they involve .exe and .dll files (like ONNX Runtime). Manual installation via the python_embeded command bypasses these blocks.

Check the Console: When you launch now, look for this specific line: ### [ReActor] Status: Online



1. The "Python Embed" Fix (Most Common)

ComfyUI Portable uses its own private version of Python. You must install dependencies inside that specific folder, not your system's Python.


  1. Open your ComfyUI_windows_portable folder.
  2. Click the address bar at the top, type cmd, and press Enter.
  3. Paste this exact line and hit Enter:python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install insightface onnxruntime-gpu
  4. Restart ComfyUI. If it works, ReActor will now show up when you search for it.

2. The "Numpy" Version Conflict (2026 Issue)

ReActor is notorious for being picky about the numpy version. If you have other nodes (like Impact Pack) installed, they might have updated your numpy and "hidden" ReActor.

  1. In that same cmd window you just opened, run:python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install numpy==1.26.4
  2. This "downgrade" fixes the communication between the face-swapper and the GPU.

3. The Visual Studio Requirement

Even with the commands above, ReActor needs C++ Build Tools to "build" the face-swap engine.


  • If you don't have it, download theVisual Studio Community Installer.
  • Run it and select "Desktop development with C++".
  • You don't need to install the whole 20GB Visual Studio; just the C++ tools (about 2GB).

4. Check the "Failed to Load" Log

If it’s still missing, we need to see why ComfyUI is hiding it:

  1. Launch ComfyUI and watch the black terminal window.
  2. Look for a line in Red or Yellow that says:[REANIMATOR] Failed to load: comfyui-reactor-node
  3. Right below that line, it will list the specific error (e.g., ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2').

5. Manual Re-Install (The "Nuclear" Option)

If the Manager says it's installed but it won't show up:

  1. Go to ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\.
  2. Delete the comfyui-reactor-node folder.
  3. Open the cmd window in the custom_nodes folder and type:git clone https://github.com/Gourieff/ComfyUI-ReActor
  4. Restart.

Summary Checklist for 12GB Windows Users:

  • Models: Make sure inswapper_128.onnx is in ComfyUI/models/insightface.
  • VRAM: Ensure you aren't running other heavy apps (like Chrome with 50 tabs) while starting ComfyUI; ReActor needs about 2GB of VRAM just to "wake up" the detection engine.







Here is a summary of our discussion regarding setting up an image detailing workflow in ComfyUI:

1. The Core Tool: Flux 2 Klein

  • Purpose: A high-fidelity model designed for adding intricate details and performing "image-to-image" (Img2Img) enhancements.
  • Function: By using low Denoising Strength (0.25–0.40), it adds textures (skin pores, fabric weaves, fine filigree) without changing the core structure of your original image.

2. Hardware Optimization (12GB GPU)

  • The Constraint: The full 9B model is too large for 12GB VRAM without optimization.
  • The Solution: Use quantized versions like FP8 or GGUF (Q4/Q5).
  • Portable Setup: Use the --lowvram flag in your .bat startup file and utilize the FP8 T5 Text Encoder to save memory.

3. Content & Filters (NSFW)

  • The Reality: The official Flux 2 Klein has strict safety guardrails and will often "black screen" or refuse explicit prompts.
  • Alternatives:
    • Flux.1 Schnell: Faster (4-8 steps) and generally less filtered than Klein.
    • Pony Diffusion V6 XL: The industry standard for unrestricted content; runs natively and fast on 12GB cards.
    • Community LoRAs: Small add-on files from sites like Civitai can be used to "uncensor" or add specific styles to Flux models.

4. Recommended Workflow Logic

  • Nodes: Use a standard Img2Img setup (Load Image -> VAE Encode -> Sampler).
  • Detailing Strategy: Describe the additions in the prompt (e.g., "micro-textures, 8k") rather than the whole scene.
  • Custom Nodes: Install the Impact Pack for specialized detailing tools and the GGUF nodes if using highly compressed model versions.

Which direction would you like to go first—setting up the Pony XL workflow for speed, or getting the Flux Schnell GGUF version running for maximum detail?
