Looking for outdoor environment

So, I have all of these great buildings and free-standing props, but nowhere to put them! Does anyone have a suggestion for a decently priced outdoor environment with sky and ground plane, with options to change details (maybe morphs for the ground plane?) I would like it to have good textures in case I need to get close-up, but good for distant renders, too.

I have done the usual store search and have seen some really good options, but would like to hear some advice from people who own such products before I decide on something.

    And I use Bryce myself, but I don't think that is what the OP was asking.

    I think FLipmode's easy environements could be what you are looking for http://www.daz3d.com/flipmode

    As I guess you use DAZ Studio, here are some environments:

    http://www.daz3d.com/easy-environments-greenlands (You can use the skydome alone also, and FlipMode has six great environments)
    http://www.daz3d.com/the-all-new-worldbase-xt-lushlands (I have the old one, this one looks much better)
    http://www.daz3d.com/urban-recreation (I've used this many time, renders great)
    http://www.daz3d.com/infinito-1-0 (Build your own environments)

    But I also agree with the poster above, if you want really great looking environments, Vue is the train to jump on, but it doesn't even come remotely close to your second wish, cheap ;-)

    FlipMode's easy Environments are nice, but I don't know that most of them are suitable locations for buildings. Another product that may be worth a look, though I don't have it, is the WorlBase XT from Magix 101 http://www.daz3d.com/the-all-new-worldbase-xt-lushlands . First Bastion also has several environments http://www.daz3d.com/firstbastion

    Thanks to all of you for your excellent suggestions. I have Worldbase XT in my cart... was my first choice before I decided to ask for advice. I will be getting a few of the EasyEnvironments at some point, but as it stands they seem rather specific so I will wait. I think I will go with the Worldbase and the Sky/Tree pack. Should keep me going for quite awhile.

    Greetings,
    My only warning is that WorldBase renders a little dark, and was not friendly with UE, causing the edges of the polys at the edge of the world to appear.

    Other than those caveats, it's actually a pretty nice set.
