Stardew Valley 1.6 landed nearly a month ago, but the follow-up patches are continuing to deliver piles of new content and upgrades. 1.6.4 is now here, and developer Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone's promise of "some new mining-related stuff" might have undersold what we're getting here.

A new update coming to adds important customization features with new hairstyles and colors for the Sims. With the help of the modding community, players on PC have been able to achieve pretty realistic game play, but players on consoles have not been able to experience this for themselves, which is why base game updates like these are important.
Publisher Electronic Arts has announced their partnership with beauty brand Dark & Lovely and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion advocate Danielle «Ebonix» Udogaranya to bring more diversity to. They are working together to bring 24 new colors and two different hairstyles in-game. These options will be available in a free update scheduled for April 2, so anyone who is interested in using these hairstyles on their own Sims will be able to do so right away.
Ebonix is a custom content creator and has made multiple Black hairstyles for everyone to use and has been making custom content since 2015. She has also partnered with Electronic Arts in the past to bring new nails to the game in game pack. Alongside Dark & Lovely, Ebonix had a larger influence on the hairstyles and colors and worked closely with the team to make sure they looked right. There is also another planned update to be released in July 2024 that will add even more hairstyles to the mix.
is a franchise that has immersive customization and storytelling options, but it has often been lacking in diversity when it comes to the base game Create-A-Sim, or CAS. Because of this, fans often have to create custom content for their Sims that adds different hair textures, colors, and styles and also different facial features and clothing options. Electronic Arts has been working towards making its game more diverse and this partnership is a step in the right direction.
With more free updates, is adding more and more content to the game that keeps players coming back. It has taken the right steps in making more inclusive CAS items and are seemingly listening to the fans and the community when they do so. Like with the addition of scars, vitiligo, and wearable devices, these updates are refreshing and are making it so more and more players can see themselves represented on the screen. Hopefully, Electronic Arts and team will keep these changes when looking towards the future of the franchise and partner with more brands to bring diverse and exciting updates to their games.
