Using Forge Checkpoints With Comfy

[Rabbit-kun]

I have been using WebUI Forge and I've got a lot of checkpoints, LoRAs, extra VAEs, all kinds of stuff. I would very much like to use these with ComfyUI, but I'm not the brightest knife in the crayon box. I know there's a page saying that a config file can be edited. I just don't know which file that is/where to find it, and I'm afraid I'll break something by doing it incorrectly.

I have ComfyUI installed to the default location in my documents folder. If anyone could kindly let me know where to find the file I need to edit, I would be very grateful.

(I have tried to search for an answer to this question and couldn't find anything to help)

Are you using the Desktop app version of ComfyUI?

[Rabbit-kun]

Yeah, I have the Desktop app. I wasn't sure which version to install, portable or desktop. The desktop one seemed like it would be easier.

Alright, so I think I've got the file in the right place (had to go to app data -> roaming -> comfyui, but no matter how I add the path for my forge folder (tried adding it to where it says for an a1111 install, since Forge is basically a1111, and I tried adding it to where it says "other ui".

The path I'm putting is D:\forge and I've tried D:\forge\webui, and D:\forge\webui\models

So, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

There is a user guide for desktop here: https://docs.comfy.org/installation/desktop/windows

Note this section:

There is an explanation of how to structure the extra_model_config.yaml file here: https://docs.comfy.org/installation/comfyui_portable_windows#2-comfyui-model-sharing-and-custom-model-directory-configuration

For anything else, you may be able to find helpful information by using the search feature on https://docs.comfy.org/

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

and also apologize for my delayed response. Found myself bogged down with a sudden backlog at work.
