The Sims: Makin' Magic

The Sims: Makin' Magic is an expansion pack for The Sims released on October 28, 2003. It was the last expansion pack to be made for The Sims, as The Sims 2 was to be released in the following year. Magic was also incorporated into The Sims 2: Apartment Life, though it works quite differently in that expansion pack to this one.

Features
The main feature of the expansion pack is the ability for Sims to perform magic charms and spells, which work much like cooking 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, or produce a charm. 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. The ability to have a dragon as a pet was also introduced.
