Hi, Welcome to Simtropolis!!

Dont hesitate to ask questions we are always happy to help :-)

Ploppable: Something that you can choose from a menu and place anywhere, whenever you want (you plop it somewhere)

Growable: Something that grows on a zone.

Hope this clears things up, any more questions?

Just to clarify a little: what you wrote is the opposite of what a ploppable is.  As bigthing said, a ploppable isa  fully realized building that you "plop" on your terrain and it's already there, it doesn't grow.  That said, a great many buildings in the STEX come with both ploppable and growable versions (i.e., they can also grow from zoned land like a Maxis buildng).  If you don't want the ploppable version cluttering up your Landmarks menu, you'll need to delete it after you unzip the file.  It's usually easy to tell which is which.  To get such buildings to grow, you do need to have a zone shaped the right way to allow it.
