Makin' Magic

Makin' Magic is an expansion pack for The Sims. It adds an extra neighbourhood to the game, MagicTown, where several extra residential and community lots can be found. The community lots are places that Sims can visit and include shopping facilities, rides and shows. Sims can earn MagicCoins here, which are required as well as the normal Simoleons in order to purchase a house in MagicTown.

The principal feature that is added with this expansion is the ability for Sims to perform magic charms and spells, which works in a similar way to the way in which they can now also cook meals from a recipe book. Ingredients are added to a Sim's inventory, from where they are used with the correct equipment to produce an item of food or charge the Sim's magic wand with a spell. These ingredients, which are many and varied, can be purchased in MagicTown or made at home with various machines and items that can be purchased.
