Log into Second Life, then follow these steps in the Viewer to set your maturity preferences:
Choose Me > Preferences (or Ctrl-P) and click the General tab.
Choose General, Moderate, Adult from the I want to access content rated: dropdown menu.
Click OK.
Congratulations! You may now visit any publicly accessible land in Second Life, regardless of its maturity rating.
Note: If your preferences are not set to allow adult content and you attempt to enter an adult-rated parcel or region, you receive a prompt allowing you to either cancel the teleport or instantly update your access preferences to General, Moderate, Adult.
Getting Payment Information on File
Landowners may also restrict access to their land to those with payment information on file with Linden Lab. If you have purchased Linden dollars (L$) or bought something on the Marketplace, you already have payment information on file.
If you do not currently have payment information on file, or if you are unsure:
Log in to your Account page on the Second Life website.
Select Billing Information under the Account section on the left side of the page.
Select Add a Credit Card, Add a PayPal account, or Add a Skrill account.
Enter either a credit card number, a Skrill account, or a verified PayPal account.
Setting up a payment relationship with Linden Lab does not constitute a purchase; you will not be charged for placing your information on file with us.
Note: Linden Lab only accepts PayPal payments through Verified PayPal accounts. Please check your PayPal Account Overview page or review the PayPal support documentation to ensure your account is a Verified PayPal account.
