Clean up inventory - the smart tips?

Time for a spring clean up. A lot of that xmas and valentine stuff need to be judged...and a lot need to just be deleted.

How to do this the fast way? I'm just basic, don't own any land and now I'm not even renting since I'm cutting down SL time to 30-60 min a day.

I'm looking for suggestions to places where I can put on clothes and see them rez as fast as SL can these days. Someone know about quiet places that is lag low?

Also I hope that disabling some view options in the client menu can help my clothes rez faster? I don't need to see grass, clouds, fog etc. when I'm trying on clothes.

a real fast way is to check your stuff out on the Beta Grid, however, you would have to make notes and go back to the main grid and and do the resorting and deleting from there, but it can be faster, it just seems like too much work.

the other option is to search for the smaller sandboxes what have a low traffic count go there and do it.

Get in touch with me Marianne...I have a low lag sim that I'll be happy to throw a box onto so you can change in peace.

As to your holiday stuff, I boxed mine into boxes - Christmas clothes, Christmas decorations, etc. and then put all those into a big Christmas box, and then put them into a big storage box which went back into inventory.

Get a flight feather (there are freebies available in world) or the free version of Mystitool. Once you are logged in go to the big map and find a sim with very few or no green dots and tp to it. Launch yourself skyward and go to about 3,000 to 5,000 meters and hover there while you change your clothes and do your inventory clean up. The likelihood of having someone wonder past you while you are busy at that altitude in a quiet sim is probably less than it would be if you were inside a "locked" private house at ground level.

But, it does feel strange changing clothes out in the open air.

there's a changing room in a skybox at the Forum Cartel hangouot

Use the filters to get rid of duplicates. e.g., show only landmarks, and then get rid of the duplicate landmarks. Show only notecards, and get rid of those duplicates.

The problem with flying up high is that you still load stuff that's on the ground within your viewing distance. If you stay in one area for a long time and allow all the textures to load, nothing else will load unless you start moving again or if someone comes near you. There's a texture info hud somewhere in the client menu that will show you all the textures loading. The lag actually goes away after all the textures have loaded... at least for me. I'd recommend sitting on the bottom of an empty ocean sim.

Bottom of the ocean is great for anything you need to get done without interruption. The only time I ever had someone come up to me down there was a mermaid. She said 'Meep! Meep!', and swam away...




Thank you Cristalle, for the tip. I've been telling myself for some time now, to just sit and get it done already (inventory), but I just didn't know where to start. Didn't think about using filters. Breaks it down for me in my mind. Today notecards, tomorrow LM's...

This is why you reduce your draw distance to 64m and going to void sims helps as well.

The ocean is a bad idea if you want to avoid texture loading.

Ultimately, no matter what, your SL client is still loading A LOT of textures for some reason, even if you are at 2000m with a draw distance of 64m.

Also in Lucrezia Lamont's New Resident's Kit there is a lm for a place on her property that is a lovely little Japanese building. It has soothing music, a fountain, birds, etc. The really cool thing is that you can close the sliding doors and see out, but no one can see in while you dress, stuff things into storage boxes, etc. And with the free Mysti on, you can keep an eye on anyone coming around. (Or I suppose look at the green dots on the mini map but I'm a Mystitool addict )

The ocean is not a bad idea. There are only a few texures to load, you, the sand, the water, clouds. I just tried it with the texture console up. ctr-shift-3 and all the textures loaded in a few seconds. Just don't pick an ocean where there are a lot of sailboats...

get to a sim you can fly in then put on a flight feather or mysti tool ot whatever flight tool you can find and go way way up until you feel compfy in the less laggy area of space and change clothes..i used to have to do it back when i danced and finally rezzed ..this way i didn't have to elave a sim to rerezz..

As well as deleting things you definiely don't want any more, you can make boxes and put all the little-uesd things you can't quite bring yourself to throw away into them. You can have one box for clothes, one for animations etc etc.

Take these storage boxes (they only need to be a simple, unaltered prim) back into your inventory when you've filled them, and eacj of them only counts as one item in the inventory, even if it contains 20 or 30.

And after 6 months of not using the box, trash it or give it away................

I have a set of over 200 pre-named and sorted folders I sell to help sort inventory into if anyone would like to send me an IM, as I can't sell the folders anyway other than a one to one transfer.

this is how i dumped 18,000 items today.
i have a folder called 'unsorted crap'. i couldnt remember the last time i had opened it, so i forced myself to delete it without looking (cant miss what ive forgotten hey).
yes, i did empty the trash afterward.

and believe it or not the client runs better now.

/me weeps so for the possible loss of a to-die-for dress or pair of shoes.

Pity you can't give that many items to a noob easily.

as for the suggestion of the beta grid
that would only work on the items that you had when they did the snapshot of the maingrid to use on the beta

beta doesn't have real time items like the main grid does

Thanks for all the answears, and special thanks to those offering rooms to change in.

My main problem isn't modesty, but to find optimal place and settings where clothes rez fast. To clean up is boring enough. if I shouldn't wait for stuff to rez. It was a good suggestion to go down on the bottom of the ocean!

For isn't all the stuff in the background lowing down the upload to my pc? That's why I was talking about turning off things like clouds and trees.

If I stand inside a empty changing room...just blank walls. That should mean that all the buildings or landscape on the outside isn't affecting the lag? Or how fast clothing appear visible?
