Acquiring content
At the moment Kitely is not Hypergrid-enabled and does not support IAR (Inventory Archive) files so the most common ways to acquire content are as follows:
- use a viewer that supports object archiving and importing, e.g. Imprudence, Angstrom (HPA format), Second Inventory
- use OAR files to import entire regions
- source content inworld, either as a purchase using Kitely Credits (KC) or as a freebie
- make your own (including importing content sourced from websites)
This strategy is used to port content from one grid to another. You should not, however, assume that content sourced on other grids is free to import even if it is full-perms on that grid.

2. OAR files
Bear in mind that you can do more sophisticated OAR manipulations, e.g. merging OARs, by using Sim-on-a-Stick offline: http://www.simonastick.com. OAR files are, of course, also good for archiving your own builds offline. At the moment Kitely does not support IAR import (the counterpart to OAR files that add a content folder to your inventory) but you can always do the import using Sim-on-a-Stick and then put the content in a prim inworld and then upload that region to Kitely as an OAR.

Campus builds
Some campus-style builds are available when a new world is created: VCE (Virtual Collaborative Environment; 1 region), Universal Campus (4 region).
There are also commercial options:
- CampusPodz (Cube Inada)
- Elements 1-4 (Jon Brouchoud)
Freebie stores
