The 'Stardew Valley-like' genre desperately needs a real name and I have the perfect answer

by Lauren Morton

Cozy farm sim games have a problem: We still don't have a good name for them. Sometimes I call them farm sims, but the ones that don't actually have farms are life sims—not to be confused with Sims-like life sims—sometimes I mash them up into farmlife sims, and sometimes they're just games like Stardew Valley when I give up entirely...

Now the BG3 Stardew Valley mod is safe, its creators reveal what's coming next

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's been a turbulent few days for fans of both Baldur's Gate 3 and Stardew Valley. First, the highly anticipated 'Baldur's Village' mod, which brings the cast of BG3 to Pelican Town, was released to widespread acclaim. Then, Dungeons and Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast decided to issue a takedown notice on the project, leaving it in limbo. Everything has worked out since then, thankfully, with WotC saying the DMCA was a mistake and apologizing for the issue altogether. Now, the modding team behind Baldur's Village has outlined what's next for the mod, with multiple updates planned. Read the rest of the story...

Baldur's Village - the Stardew Valley mod with a town full of Baldur's Gate 3 characters - was hit by a DMCA takedown from BG IP owner Wizards of the Coast the other day.

After Swen Vincke wagged his finger at a Wizards of the Coast DMCA, Stardew's Baldur's Gate 3 mod is back online

by Joshua Wolens

Turns out, something gold can stay. In the wake of Wizards of the Coast's "mistaken" DMCA that scoured it from the internet, Baldur's Village is back up on Nexus Mods. It was out of commission for a couple of days after the original takedown took it out on March 29 or, in other words, it was out of commission until people noticed what WotC had done and compelled it to beat a hasty retreat...

Popular BG3 themed Stardew Valley mod will be re-listed after unintentional DMCA

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Despite Baldur's Gate 3 icons like Astarion ascending into the hall of fame for beloved gaming characters, and the RPG being a huge canvas for mods itself, fans were surprised and saddened to see today that Wizards of the Coast (the license holders of Dungeons and Dragons) had DMCA'd a popular Stardew Valley mod. Baldur's Village puts a romanceable Astarion into the game, among other additions, but is currently unavailable following a takedown notice. After some critical remarks from Baldur's Gate 3's game director and the co-founder of Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, WotC has now apologized and admitted the takedown notice was a mistake.

New Stardew Valley mod adds an entire village and is basically a sequel

by editor@pcgamesn.com

While Stardew Valley inspired an entire genre unto itself, nothing beats the original. Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone's farming and life sim has only been getting bigger and better over the years, with tens of thousands of people playing it as I write this sentence. The idyllic loop of tending crops, exploring lands, and wooing villagers is an incredibly popular one, and it just got even better. A dedicated group of modders has added an entirely new village to the game, basically tacking on an entire sequel. Read the rest of the story...

Swen Vincke stamps seal of approval on Stardew Valley mod that yoinks the Baldur's Gate 3 cast out of D&D and into a cosy pastoral life

by Harvey Randall

Typically, in an Isekai anime, the main thrust of the plot involves a poor unsuspecting person dying (usually via unfortunate truck placement) and waking up in a fantasy world of magic and adventure. In the case of Stardew Valley's latest hit mod, it's sort of the inverse—while they don't have trucks in the Forgotten Realms, the entire cast of Baldur's Gate 3 has been transported to Stardew Valley...
