6×10
14×10
14×22

No height reactions.

Headstones must be in your grid (NOT outside as I had them in the render).

Goal is to have fun! Sometimes people have a little story to go along with the build. We just have someone who didn’t participate judge the entries.

If they don’t enable that setting then they end up showing able to ship to US, but not able to ship states where the fee was required.

When asked why he lists the US as a shipping destination but not PA specifically he said:
“I know that.
If I do that, I have to pay the PP fees.
And why should I collect the taxes for the USA?

Flight 93 crashed a few miles from my house on 9/11. Our school was evacuated and you could see the smoke from our farm.
