Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
‘The Sims 4’ adds fan-requested customisable pronouns
nme.comThe Sims 4 developer Maxis has added customisable pronouns to the game, and has shared a blog outlining how the feature will work.In an article posted yesterday (May 24), Maxis outlined how it has been working to implement customisable pronouns in The Sims 4, a feature that was requested by 22,857 fans last year (via Eurogamer).“We reached out to the It Gets Better Project and GLAAD and worked with them to learn more about how pronouns are used, particularly by trans and nonbinary people.
Through this research and through doing a deep dive into the game, we’ve learned about all of the different complex areas that binary gender was present in The Sims 4.
From here we then worked with our team to come up with some wireframe designs to help us work on making this feature a reality,” explained Maxis.Since researching the topic, Maxis has now launched customisable pronouns for those playing the game in English.
To use customisable pronouns in The Sims 4, players can open the “Create a Sim” menu and select the option “Hello, my name and pronouns are…”Players will then be given the choice of selecting between they/them, she/her, he/him, or a custom option that allows them to choose which words are used as their pronouns.For now the feature is only available in English language versions only, but Maxis has shared that “our intent is to update and expand this feature over time”.
