Making Outfits

Sorting clothing to make outfits is really very easy.
I will explain in detail each step.

Read everything through to understand it. 

It may sound and look complicated at first, but follow the steps and you will see just how simple it is :)

First off, wear an outfit. this will be an example outfit.

Next, we are going to make a folder for that outfit.
Go to the Clothing folder at the top of the Inventory Window.
Right-click on the folder name: Clothing. when the menu pops up, Select: New Folder. name the folder for the outfit you are wearing.

But here's a little trick: put a Period at the beginning of the folder name.
This will sort the folder to the top, because the ASCII value of a Period precedes the ASCII value of the letter A.


I use this method to indicate an outfit folder.
IE ".Beach Wear" or ".Club Outfit", etc.

Now, here comes the best part:

In the Inventory Window, under File (top left corner) select: New Inventory Window
This opens another Inventory Window.

In the Search Bar of the second Inventory Window, type: WORN.
This shows everything you are currently wearing.

If you are using Phoenix Viewer there is a tab for Worn items.

Now, starting with the first item you are wearing, right-click and select: Copy

In the first Inventory Window, right-click on the new outfit folder you made and select: Paste As Link

Continue this procedure with the rest of the items that show under: WORN

Each link will show in Italics (item is a link) and Bold (item is worn).

There you go, you just made an outfit folder!


You can use this method for any item that you want to wear or add: clothing, shoes, hair, skins, shapes, jewelry, weapons.

This process leaves the items in their original location but with a shortcut, a reference link, in a separate folder.

Just like on your computer, you make a shortcut to the desktop for a program, without moving the original program.

When you want to wear that outfit or item, just right-click on the folder name and select: Wear or Add.

When you want to take off that outfit or item, right-click on the folder name, select: Take Off Items.


You can also select individual items to remove.

By following this method, you can make all the outfit folders you need.
