Weight: It works well between 0.6 and 0.8. It also works at 1.0, but keep in mind that the higher the weight, the less versatile the model will be. Generally, for using characters in the background, 0.6 to 0.8 works well, and for just the background, between 0.8 and 1.0.

Hi-Res Fix: When there is a character present, it tends to be more stable. However, when it's just the background, the model is highly unstable with Hi-Res Fix, even with low levels of denoising. It is recommended to do the Upscale in Img2Img using the DPM++ 2M Karras sampler with a not too high denoising between 0.35-0.5; even 0.6 can work well... instead of using Hi-Res Fix. Another thing is that when using Img2Img, be mindful of how much weight is given to the LoRA; for cleaner results, 0.6 is fine. The higher you go, the more "realism" it adds to the image, which also contributes to a creepier aesthetic.
