Sometimes it might be useful to move your models to another location. Reasons for this could be:

• Main disk has low disk space
• You are using models in multiple tools and don't want to store them twice

The default model folder is stable-diffusion-webui/models

macOS Finder

• Open in Finder two windows e.g. stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion and the folder where your models are located.
• Press option ⌥ + command ⌘ while dragging your model from the model folder to the target folder
• This will make an alias instead of moving the models

Command line

• Let's assume your model openjourney-v4.ckpt is stored in ~/ai/models/
• Now we make a symbolic link (i.e. alias) to this model
• Open your terminal and navigate to your Stable Diffusion model folder e.g. cd ~/stable-diffusion-webui/models/Stable-diffusion
• Make a symbolic link to your model with ln -sf ~/ai/models/openjourney-v4.ckpt
