There probably isn't going to be one, because you need a separate piece of freeware for the rpg maker, the rtp for it. Something mentioned on the first post.

Don't worry bout it fixed it up and should be better but i can't make the girls look bigger you and every one else will have to imagene them 106ft tall.

Well, it's the same with huge actor sprites in RPG Maker, the sprite, even if enlarged, by default, still only takes up one tile this allows for bugs like your character walking over the other character's sprite (as they are on the same level as you by default.)

Actually, I think I can help with that. I've had great success in making sprites bigger so that they can be used in game to look like giantesses. Granted they still won't look 106ft tall, but they are big enough that when one is standing still, the player can start out next to her level at her feet, then the player can take four steps up and the players head will be in a sense level with the giantesses head, though in prospective terms the player just walk up away form the giantess.
I can give you a few giantess spites I made from altering the original sprites from the RMXP resources. I'd been working on how to do it for part 2 of my game that I've been working on slowly for some time, since the characters in my game will be going to a giantess village.
You are welcome to use these sprites I've enlarged if you find them useful. And if you want me to try enlarging any different ones, I'd be glad to help.

Actually making the sprites bigger wasn't that hard. I just loaded the sprite into MS Paint, clicked select all in from one of the menus, then when to the properties of the sprite group selected and changed the size to what I wanted. I did have to clear out some white lines that appeared around the sprites when I put them in game, but they work.
Also, while the giantess made by my sprite enlarging still has the one tile hit box, I don't get the bugs you are talking about. My character can walk right behind the giantess sprite and not be seen until the character gradually shows back up coming out form behind the giantesses head. I don't get bugs where it looks like the player character is walking on the giantesses top half. I think the program automatically compensates for how large the sprite is. Below are the sprites I enlarged.

No problem, glad I could help. I didn't want people thinking that this possibility would be impossible for these types of games. Since shrunken sprites have been used before, I knew there was no reason why giantess ones couldn't be done. If it helps make such games become more awesome, and inspires others to make more of such games, then I'm all for it. I saw no reason why I should hoard all the good ideas and breakthroughs for my game.
If you need anything else, just let me know. I know your new to this, but after playing the game, I would recommend that get some variety in the writing with each different encounter with characters that want to eat you, something more than just, "You look yummy", then the character gulps the player down and burps, it does get a little repetitive when something similar happens each time with different encounters. A little more in depth writing and characterization of both the prey and the devourer would go a long way.
Also, it would be good for you to watch some tutorials, maybe on youtube, on how to do scripting(learning how to use the menu items and abilities of the event menu when creating an event). The reason I say this is that when I reached the places where the town was burning, and you had placed fire on several sections of buildings, the fire was still and didn't move/flicker in place. I'm assuming that each one of those flames is an event of the fire graphic. It's actually very simple to get it to move/change look in place. Just go into each fire graphic event, underneath the fire graphic there are some check boxes. Both "move animation" and "stop animation" need to be checked. With that done, when the player is in those areas, the player will see that the fire looks like it is actually burning. What checking those boxes does is make the event somewhat quickly cycle through all the four different graphics of fire in the graphic line.
