Need to let people know you're not available because... eh um... "Nature Calls"? Well leave no doubt with the portable Outhouse. This hidden item will pop up, or drop down, with a simple command, to let everybody know you're simply not available. When they see this little room pop up, they'll know to leave you alone and let you finish your "Business" in peace. When you've returned to your computer, you can dismiss the Outhouse as easily as you summoned it, and return to the conversation without anyone feeling upset for your momentary silence. Just please... wash your hands first!
Commands:
"DropOuthouse" - Drops the Outhouse on your avie from the sky.
"PopOuthouse" - Pops the Outhouse out of the ground, enveloping your avie
"NoOuthouse" - Makes a Dropped or Popped Outhouse disappear
PLEASE NOTE: The Outhouse works equally well for Male and Female avies, but is found under Male Accessories. Blame IMVU's lack of a Uni- category for that one. Also this item will Remain INVISIBLE UNTIL USED! If the Outhouse fails to respond to your commands, make certain you haven't accidentally removed it. There's a limit to the number of things you can attach to any Node, so enough items, like numerous Pets, might cause the Outhouse to be removed. Also keep in mind that certain large avie outfits might be too large to fit within the Outhouse, and will poke through the walls of it when it's in use. To ensure your full satisfaction with this product, please use TRY IT before you BUY IT! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't fit your needs.
Don't like the well weathered wood look? Wish the Outhouse had an "Occupied" sign? And how about some Sound Effects?! Well quite complaining and DERIVE it! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Here are the templates you'll need below:

To add sound, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
There's little reason to add sound to this item, but if you do need to, please keep your sound volume levels within acceptable limits. DON'T MAKE YOUR SOUND AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! Loud sounds will annoy other users, and reduce your sales. Also avoid using Looping sounds, as IMVU has no controls to stop Looping sounds once they start playing.
Also please keep in mind that Deriving is not the same as using extraction tools and resubmitting. When you use tools to extract and resubmit my items without using IMVU's Deriving function, you remove me from earning anything off the sale of my items. So you're effectively STEALING from me. Not only will this get your account revoked, your credits ceases, your PayPal account shutdown, and get you into all kinds of legal troubles... it's also just plain wrong. Please don't steal from me. Please use the "Derive from Product" link and keep your account honest. You profit, I profit, and your honesty insures I'll be making many more wonderful things for you to derive from for many years to come.
