Simon Stålenhag Things from the Flood

YFG Simon Stålenhag – Things from the Flood

Style Inspired by the visual language of Simon Stålenhag’s Things from the Flood , this LoRA brings a moody, melancholic, near-future Scandinavian atmosphere to your generations. Expect muted skies, quiet roads, abandoned machinery, eerie suburban or rural environments, and a strong sense of isolation. It works especially well for landscapes, post-apocalyptic scenes, strange technology in everyday settings, and unsettling narrative imagery.

Trigger Use YFG-SimonFlood style to reinforce the intended style. The trigger is not strictly required , but it can help strengthen the effect depending on the prompt.

Strength Tested across a wide range:

0.40 – 0.75 is the recommended range for most prompts

0.65 is a very solid starting point

Good results are possible up to 1.10 with the right prompt

Above that becomes less reliable

Even very low strengths around 0.10 can still leave a visible stylistic influence

Key Characteristics

Moody environmental tone – overcast skies, wet roads, winter fields, abandoned lots, and quiet urban edges.

Near-future melancholy – strange machines, eerie structures, and advanced technology placed in otherwise ordinary landscapes.

Cold muted palette – grays, blue-greens, pale winter light, dirty snow, and subdued industrial colors.

Isolation & unease – deserted scenes, lone figures, abandoned vehicles, and a quiet apocalyptic feeling.

Dark horror potential – can also lean into disturbing themes, blood, bloody ooze, and unsettling surreal imagery when prompted.

Prompt Ideas

“A snow-covered suburban road with an abandoned machine in the distance, YFG-SimonFlood style.”

“A lonely figure standing in an overgrown field beside a giant rusted robot, overcast sky, muted winter light.”

“A dystopian urban alley with eerie industrial structures and strange glowing architecture, melancholy Scandinavian atmosphere.”

“Two abandoned insect-like machines lying in the snow near a rural road, pale sky, quiet dread.”

“A rain-soaked road at dusk facing a towering humanoid machine with glowing eyes, post-apocalyptic realism.”

Tips & Tricks

Works very well with landscapes and infrastructure

Roads, fields, forests, industrial outskirts, empty lots, apartment blocks, utility buildings, and suburban edges all fit naturally.

Keep the mood subdued

Terms like overcast, misty, rainy, snow-covered, abandoned, bleak, muted, and desolate help a lot.

Use technology sparingly but meaningfully

The style shines when strange machines or futuristic structures are inserted into otherwise grounded, realistic scenes.

Strong for dystopian and horror themes

If desired, the model can go darker with blood, gore-like ooze, unsettling figures, and ominous surrealism.

Don’t over-prompt

You usually do not need excessive style language. A grounded scene description plus the trigger word is often enough.

Best starting point

Try 0.65 strength first, then adjust up or down depending on how dominant you want the atmosphere to be.
