Morning and happy Monday, Ener!
Quick question if you don’t mind much – I’m installing SOAS again on the desktop and was wondering how to go about loading up some of the Linda Kellie oars there. I’d have one region, normal size so if I load one, how would I get rid of it to load another to check out? Or would I need to delete the whole set up and start over each time?
Thanks!

just load the new OAR, it will override the existing one (just be sure you backed that one up if it was anything you wanted to keep)
i think in old 0.6 versions, OARs combined, but now they completely wipe out the existing OAR
here’s how to change regions:

and it sounds like you already know how to load OARs:

good luck! =)

Further to Eners comment.
This raises a question I had and have wondered about assets distributed as oars.
I presume to get them into your grid, you would need a spare “workshop region”.
IE; the steps would be:
1. Load oar into your spare “workshop region”.
2. Select, and take the items into Inventory.
3. TP to desired region. Place the item.
Is this the way?

that’s my usual flow and i’ll also typically export the item i want as XML with textures (but that loses scripts which i copy to Notepad)
if you do your method, you could also place the object into an inventory folder and export that as an IAR:
