Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

To say that the Sims series is no stranger to expansion packs would be an epic understatement. Spin-offs have run the gamut from pets to extreme weather conditions, so it’s no surprise that less than six months after the launch of The Sims 3, the first add-on for it has landed. World Adventures broadens the Sims’ horizons by sending them on family holidays and getting them to tackle local challenges. The better the Sims do, the longer theirVisas last. Some sections (notably the tombexploring excursions) feel slightly out of place, and dragging your Sim family around the world can be more exhausting than it is entertaining.
