hi wyrwulf, I did some checking and found the link above. It shows the european standards and the 'worldwide' link at the bottom shows american and others. The mostly widely used european plug at the moment is the 2-pin, but is set to be replaced by the Schuko. However, my priorities are slightly different. From the design POV, I'd prefer to go with the european 2-pin. On the other hand, the US poser users are a pretty large group. I don't know how important it is for poser people to have their own type of plugs, but no matter what type I make, somebody's gonna be left out, so maybe I should just make them look good and leave it at that. I'm trying to make everything as realistic as possible, but it's not practical to make plugs and sockets for everyone in the world. LOL. Thanks for the help. mac
