Yay! More textures to play with! Thanks for the link dlk, not many palm / tropical trees up here in Washington! I'll have to try saving them over as vob and see if that helps (for the xfrog plants). Another suggestion for getting a different trunk, grab a modeling program and do a quick model of a trunk, then make the vue palms trunk transparent and stick the leaves on the top of your newly modeled trunk and apply textures accordingly. There are plenty of free 3d programs (or earlier versions available on 3dworld cd's) out there that shouldn't have any problems modeling something like that. Not quite as easy as pushing the veggie button in Vue but at this point I wouldn't count on E-on updating their plant collection (considering most of those plants have been around since version 2 of Vue, maybe earlier)
