Second Life Tip #3 – Inventory Control

If the numbers on your inventory are getting high, you have three choices to get that back under control.  1) Stop Shopping….like we can do that?  2) Go through your inventory when you have a moment to spare like waiting for a friend or while dancing at clubs. delete anything you think you might never use again like those thousands of freebies you picked up as a newbie.  3) You can box things up in a prim for storage. 

How to do that is you hit the build button and click the ground somewhere you can build at like your land or at a sandbox.  Rez a cube prim.  Click the More>> button then You can name the Prim in the name field of the General Prim something like Extra Shoes. Now click the Content tab and add by drag and drop those files of extra shoes that you think you still want to keep yet don’t need often.  When done close the prim window and pick up the prim into your inventory using take on the pie menu.  Presto!  All boxed up!  Now to later remove the items, take the prim from your inventory and place it on the ground again. Open and copy back into inventory all the items or just click on the one item you need to copy back and you have the item back again.  You can also store textures in a prim like this or photos.
