Usually, the folders will contain several sizes (anything from three to half a dozen) of clothing. You try them on (together with the alpha layer included) until you find the one that works best for your avatar. And then&#8230; what do you do? Memorise that size so you know you can always wear the &#8216;mediums&#8217; from Store A and the &#8216;larges&#8217; from Store B?<\/p>\n<p>What do you do with the sizes you don&#8217;t wear?<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh. You need to either ditch those or archive them. If you&#8217;re the kind of person who <em>never<\/em> changes their avatar shape, then junk the spares, but if you anything like me (or most other inventory-sorters that I&#8217;ve spoken to!) you&#8217;ll want to archive them, just in case. SL has so many packrats! XD<\/p>\n<p>Rez a prim and start archiving those unwanted sizes. Either do one prim per outfit (call it <em>Archive: Un-used sizes<\/em>, or something like that) and put it in that outfit&#8217;s folder or &#8211; to bring down the number of prims in your inventory even further &#8211; do one prim per store, and keep a separate &#8216;un-used mesh sizes&#8217; folder going somewhere. And keep on top of it!<\/p>\n<p>Remember: if your archive prim is copiable, when you rez it out to add new unwanted sizes, a copy will remain in your inventory. Once you&#8217;ve taken the new, edited prim into your inventory, delete the old one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi peeps!
