__________________________________________________________
Still to fix:
- Some buildings are still a little too "glow in the dark" at night.
These are converts from AussiePak1 which were toned down, but could use some better lighting.
- Lost the edge grass facade functionality in the 10.20 betas. Bug report submitted.
