The Sims 4 Promotes Enchanting Expansion With FKA twigs' Perfect Stranger Music Video
The newest expansion pack for The Sims 4, takes players through an enchanted world known as Innisgreen, a setting so enchanting that the expansion pack is called Enchanted by Nature. With it having been weeks since the expansion launched, fans have given the new content a 'Mixed' reception on Steam. Nearly all fan reviewers noted how enchanting the setting is, but some have also noted how flawed the execution was on launch, making the newly introduced traits appear to be a micromanagement nightmare.
To steady the turbulence, EA has launched a new FKA twigs music video, Perfect Strangers, to promote the expansion. The music video can be seen below, and it features well-known artist FKA twigs in full Sim getup from The Sims 4, singing in full Simlish.
On top of the music video, a The Sims 4 creator has also rolled out the FKA twigs Sim for fans to move into their neighbourhoods. In the music video, FKA twigs plays a matchmaker to Perfect Strangers, uniting five couples in the enchanted Innisgreen world, and now fans can live next to her in Innisgreen!
EA has included a link to a prominent The Sims 4 creator's version of FKA twigs as a way to include her in your neighbourhood. Crafted by community member Maxis, fans have commented on the new artist-based Sim, pleased with how close the real thing looks when compared to the artist in the music video.
The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature expansion pack is out now, and fans can check in on all the action by heading to the official site. The latest bug where Sims have been getting noticeably pregnant without warning or intervention has been fixed, along with the latest patch notes can be found here.

Mastercard denies pressuring game platforms, Valve tells a different story
The outcry after a recent marketplace crackdown on games with adult content, seemingly due to pressure from payment processors, prompted Mastercard to release a brief statement Friday pushing back against recent headlines. 'Mastercard has not evaluated any game or required restrictions of any activity on game creator sites and platforms, contrary to media reports and allegations,' the company said, adding, 'At the same time, we require merchants to have appropriate controls to ensure Mastercard cards cannot be used for unlawful purchases, including illegal adult content.' This follows an open letter by the advocacy group Collective Shout addressed to executives at Paypal, Mastercard, Visa, and other companies, criticizing them for allowing the sale of 'No Mercy' and other games that depict rape, incest, and child sexual abuse. In the following weeks, Steam announced that it would ban games that violate the rules of its 'payment processors and related card networks and banks.' Then said it was removing games with adult content from its browse and search pages while conducting a broader audit. While Mastercard's statement seems to undermine the narrative that payment and card companies were the ones pressuring the game marketplaces, Steam owner Valve responded with a statement of its own, provided to PC Gamer and other gaming sites. According to Valve, 'Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so. Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve, and we replied by outlining Steam's policy since 2018 of attempting to distribute games that are legal for distribution.' Valve said its response was 'rejected' by the payment processors, who noted the 'risk to the Mastercard brand' and pointed to a Mastercard rule against 'illegal or brand-damaging transactions.' Meanwhile, said that it's now re-indexing free games with adult content while negotiating with payment processors including Stripe, which for its part said it's 'unable to support sexually explicit content' due to 'banking partners.'

‘Starfinder: Afterlight' Brings Paizo's TTRPG to Video Games
Tabletop RPG developer Paizo is taking is first steps into video games through its sci-fi title, Starfinder. Developer Epictellers Entertainment is adapting the Pathfinder offshoot for mouse and keyboard with the single-player RPG Afterlight. In it, players will assemble of crew with their own personal stories and baggage for you to help deal with while embarking on a quest to save the galaxy. Like the recently announced RPG for The Expanse, players can play as different classes and make choices across a branching narrative. But unlike that game—which, like BioWare's Mass Effect, is a third-person shooter with some tactical elements—Afterlight's turn-based combat takes after Starfinder's just-launched second edition. Starfinder: Afterlight will have a Kickstarter campaign launching in the near future. Epictellers also revealed the game's voice cast will be directed by Neil Newbon, the voice of Astarion in 2023's Baldur's Gate 3. That game went on to be a big revenue driver for Dungeons & Dragons the last few years, and it's easy to imagine Afterlight doing the same for Starfinder when it launches for Steam Early Access in 2026.
