Learn how to take complete control over your character's age in Stable Diffusion using a specialized slider LoRA model! Whether you are running Automatic1111, WebUI Forge, or ComfyUI, this approach lets you smoothly scale your characters across different stages of life—from very young children and teenagers to grown adults and senior citizens.

In this tutorial, I'll walk you through downloading the Age Slider LoRA from Civitai and placing it in your local folder structure. You'll learn the most important rule for slider prompting: avoiding age-descriptive words (like "young," "old," "wrinkles," or specific hair colors) in your main prompt text, as these tags will conflict with the LoRA weights. I demonstrate how adjusting the weight slider dynamically shifts character age—where lower negative values generate younger characteristics and higher positive weights age up the character.

00:00Hello guys, welcome back with me, Chow Chow 2025.
00:04Today we're going to learn about how to change people, age in stable diffusion.
00:10We are going to use Age Slider LoRa model from NextMeal in CivetAI.com.
00:18Link on the description.
00:20Whether you use Automatic 11, 11 Forge or Comfy, you could do this as long as it has access to
00:29LoRa.
00:30In this example, I use Forge because it is faster, but Automatic 11 should be able to do this.
00:38If you use Comfy, refer to how to use LoRa in Comfy and adjust from there.
00:44Now I will tell you a great LoRa model that could do this.
00:48You could use Age Slider created by NextMeal.
00:52You could access CivetAI.com and the link is on the video description.
00:58Download the model and put it on your LoRa models folder.
01:03Its default location is in WebUI slash Models slash LoRa.
01:09Now to use it, we're going to make a prompt first.
01:12You could use any prompt to generate a character, whether man or woman.
01:18Now use the LoRa weight here, adjusting to whatever you want.
01:22Avoid using any description of age or age characteristic like age itself, hair color, wrinkle, body size,
01:32word like young or old and other stuff that indicate a certain A.
01:37This thing will confuse the A.I. to whether follow your instruction or follow the LoRa weight.
01:44Here are some examples.
01:49Sadly, for now, it is hard to generate an existing picture into certain age
01:54and says you train the character first into LoRa.
01:58Also, the more the weight, the higher chance of the A.I. generate not safe for work image.
02:05Make sure to play with the negative prompt.
02:08This thing also could work on your LoRa character.
02:12Here are some examples.
02:15Here are a list of other picture that I gave the variety of weight.
02:19So the result may vary from one image to another.
02:32Anyway, guys, that's it for today video.
02:37Don't forget to like, share and comment.
02:41See you on the next episode.
02:44And have a nice day.

LoRA sliders are incredibly precise, but remember the golden rule: strip all age-related words from your prompt text! If you type "old" while using a high slider value, the AI gets confused and fries the image. Keeping weights within a -4 to +4 range yields the cleanest transitions from teen to elder. What slider values have given you the most realistic generation style? Let's talk about it below!
