Can you hire somebody to do this for you?

Brilliant tips:)

OR you can just have the surprise of one day discovering that thousands of your ‘precious things’ have been removed from your inventory without your even knowing…

oh wow. So jealous.

I tried to sort mine by colors, but the rest of things, like objects, houses etc, are just thrown into one large folder >.<

I have one tip to share – and it probably *is* rather OCD on my part, but after SL ate some of my folders, I made a separate Backups one, subdivided into cathegory subfolders, and everything that I like and is copiable, goes there too, to be packed and kept – just in case.

i helped my boyfriend organize his inventory, oh dear lord. i actually premade his outfits for him so he could just click ‘replace outfit’ this helps to prevent him walking around with clothing and forgetting to put on the prims. or suits with chucks, although that is a cute look for him.

I have an “Outfits” folder too, but I subcategorize them by “Pant Suits”, “Skirt/Pants” (for those outfits that come with both), “Jeans and Tees”, and “Shorts/Capris”.

Someday, I’ll take a picture of my inventory for you guys. Then you’ll realize why I love the search function so much… (It’s such a damned mess.)

I have “! Just Pantsy Outfits” and “! Just Skirtythings” and subfolders within, again, I generally don’t separate folders unless it’s like, a mixed avatar and I only want to keep, say, the Skin or whatever.

I don’t myself, I just keep them in ‘outfits’

Also, I’d be interested to know, do you guys keep clothing as it comes in it’s folder, like say a top and jeans do you put the jeans in a jeans folder, take the top, put it in a tops folders?

Yes looks very much like mine too, however I do not use the objects folder. I use it more as a sort of transient folder, to store until I file it, mainly because most things you buy go directly to objects.

I do need to organise my hair a bit better though, currently it sits in a folder named hair under body parts, but sub folders for styles would be good.

I try to keep as little as possible in my default folders, instead I have things ordered with “! ” at the beginning. Stores I have a lot of stuff from have their own “! ” folders [e.g, "! silentsparrow"] and then I have things ordered into what they are…like in my main inventory window, I have “! Just Bottoms” for example, and in that, subfolders for different lengths of skirts, pants, etc.

Hair and Jewelery and other non-clothing stuff also has its own “! ” folders in the main Inventory bit, and then in that, subfoldered by creator and then style, or type, or whatever. If I don’t have a lot of stuff from one creator, I’ll bung it in a generic subfolder, such as “! Necklaces” or “! Single Style, not red” or…something.

It’s possibly a bit haphazard, and involves scrolling, but it works for me and is actually hideously organized for….the size of it

*nods* Mine looks like this too!
It took me 2 days when I did this hmm maybe 2 years ago. But since then, my inventory is almost always clean.
I have a folder called “NEW”, and when IÂ´m lazy, I put anything new there (But not things I bought. Those go to the right place right after). Some things are there for month without me missing it, so I delete them.

Hair Fatpacks are Inventory killers… Why keep brown pink purple blue teal and white, when I always wear black oder red?
I eliminated ALL landmarks 2 years ago. From shops I like I got stuff, so I can go and look at the creator profile. For plants, animations, “body stuff” I made notecards. So I`m still unter 16.000 Items after almost 3 years, and I buy a lot.

This is pretty much how I maintain mine, as well. I even have two folders under my main inventory named “Demos to try”, which is where I keep the Demos I collect until I can make up my mind, and “Things to Sort” where I keep the items from hunts and shopping trips that I just haven’t had time to sub-categorize yet.

Like Katey said, it keeps from having to scroll. )

I finally bit the bullet and went through my Objects folder. It took me about three days, but it was so amazing to finally get it under control. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it. And now that it’s organized, it stays organized. )

My inventory looks really similar, with the exception of objects which is a trainwreck. I’m hyper organised too, to the extent that I get grumpy if I have to scroll my top screen haha
