They come in two versions, STANDARD and BROKEN, the standard versions work as conventional lighting while the broken versions, with their smashed bulbs, add atmosphere by flashing and sparking at random intervals. CAGE-LIGHTS are also low-prim [...]

The swing movement is amazingly realistic, with full momentum and a pendulum-like action. Just click the seat to jump onboard and start swinging, it takes a moment for the swings to reach their full speed and arc, [...]
