It was the last expansion pack to be made for ''The Sims'', as ''[[The Sims 2]]'' was to be released in the following year. The main theme of the expansion pack - magic - would later be incorporated into ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' and ''[[The Sims 34: ~~Supernatural~~Realm of Magic]].''. ==Game Features== The main feature of the expansion pack is the ability for ~~Sims~~[[Sim]]s to ~~perform~~create [[magic charms]] and cast [[~~spells~~Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)\|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 [[Magic Town]] 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. Upon moving in a new family, the [[Mystery Man]] appears with a box which includes a wand, ~~for~~a ~~each~~spell ~~member~~book, ofthe [[magic ingredients]] needed for the ~~family,~~Toadification a[[Spells ~~spell~~(The ~~book~~Sims: Makin' Magic)#List of spells\|spell]], a wand charger (which also dispenses wands), 35 [[MagiCoins]], and a Hole In The Ground which provides easy access to [[Magic Town]]. ~~Casting~~Being ~~spells~~''caught'' oncasting ~~other~~spells outside ~~Sims~~of inMagic ~~the~~Town ~~main~~by ~~neighbourhood~~non-magical Sims is met with a fine by the Mystery Man. However this is not the case in Magic Town, although the spells may backfire as the vast majority of Magic Town residents are ~~equiped~~equipped with their own wands. ===~~Video~~New NPCs===▼ A variety of spells can be cast including spells to make Sims fall in love or to turn them in to toads for a short period of time. The wand charger is used to charge your sims wand with any spell you desire as long as you have the ingredients to do so. These ingredients can be bought from many merchants around Magic town. * [[Bonehilda]] * [[Vicki Vampiress]] * [[Faerie Queen Mara]] * [[Mystery Man]] * [[Apothecary Todd]] * [[Nagganaste]] * [[FlaminGoGo Dancer]] * [[Gardening Gnome]] ===New ~~Life States~~objects=== * [[Crystal Clear Ability Rocks]] Two new life states were added in Makin' Magic; [[Zombie]] and [[Werewolf]] although these were only for cosmetic purposes and they still function as normal Sims. These life states are only accessible if a certain spell is cast on a sim or if they drink a certain potion. Further, they were only temporary, lasting a few game hours before the spell wore off. * [[Beehive]] * [[Butter churn]] * [[Cauldron]]s * [[A Hole in the Ground]] * [[Spinning wheel]] * [[Craft-A-Gargoyle\|Gargoyle crafting bench]] * [[Spell book]]s ===New ~~NPCs~~neighborhoods=== ==* [[Magic Town==]]▼ A variety on NPCs were added with Makin' Magic including a Skeletal Maid: [[Bonehilda]], a vampire who sells draconic items: [[Vicki Vampiress]], and the [[Mystery Man]] who would leave a box of supplies at a Sims house upon moving in and also sells wands. Other NPCs include, but are not limtied to; [[Apothecary Todd]], [[Nagganaste]], [[FlaminGoGo Dancer]], and [[Gardening Gnome]]. ===New ~~objects~~building themes=== * Magic carnival▼ ~~Magic themed objects are in abundance. Including spellbooks, [[Crystal Clear Ability Rocks]], [[Beehive]], [[Butter churn]], ''[[A Hole in the Ground]], ''[[Spinning Wheel]], [[Gargoyle Bench]].~~ * Tuscany▼ * Spooky shingles and vines▼ ===New ~~building themes~~currency=== * [[MagiCoins]] ▲Magic carnival ▲Tuscany ▲Spooky shingles and vines ~~==Currency==~~ ~~[[MagiCoins]] are the main form of currency in Magic Town and can be used to buy various things ranging from beeswax to your own Magic Town house!~~ ~~MagiCoins can be earned in various ways from performing on one of the stages or at the small tricks table, winning [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Dueling duel], or by selling ingredients to the vendors.~~ ▲==Magic Town== The expansion added Magic Town which is a seperate area from the main game's town which is inhabitd by all maner of magical sims. Included are a variety of lots including a carnival area and even residential areas where Sims can buy houses, which can either be bought with standard Simoleons or MagiCoins. ~~==Pets==~~ Makin' Magic added the ability to have a [[dragon]] as a pet. They can be bought as an egg from Viki Vampiress in Magic Town. Viki Vampiress also sells items like Dragon treats. Unlike ordinary pet (dogs and cats), the dragon is treated more as an object, though animated, and rather than a sim; it does not appear in the list of family member, is not counted as part of the family size, and its attributes cannot be viewed. The dragons personality (one of three types) seems to be determined by how the egg is cared for. Dragons eat flowers, and if not cared for carefully are very likely to leave. ==Features and Allusions to other Expansion Packs== If ''[[The Sims: Unleashed\|Unleashed]]'' is installed, ~~sims~~Sims can ~~craft~~cast the "A Friend Indeed" ~~charm~~spell, which will turn ~~pets~~a [[pet]] into a human ~~sims~~Sim. One of the ingredients, Pet Treats, is exclusive to ''Unleashed''. * If ''[[Superstar]]'' is installed, ~~sims~~Sims can craft the "Price of Fame" charm which will give the user 4.5 [[Fame (career)\|fame]] stars. One of the ingredients, Black Roses, is exclusive to'' Superstar''. ==Cover features== Bella, Mortimer and Cassandra Goth with wands and a pet dragon are shown on the back of the North American box cover. Oddly, Cassandra is shown without glasses in the cover, and Bella's skin tone is lighter as is Cassandra's skin tone. ==Trivia== * This is the last pack in [[The Sims (series)\|''The Sims'' series]] to support Windows 95. * This is the first pack to allow sims to live in a sub-neighbourhood. * A book sold at the [[Consignment store\|consignment store]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' is titled ''Makin' Magic'', which is clearly a reference to this pack. ==Gallery== <tabber> Screenshots= <gallery> File:Thesimsinterface.jpg\|''The Sims: Makin' Magic'' gameplay Sims1makinmagicpic1.jpeg Sims1makinmagicpic2.jpeg Sims1makinmagic3.jpeg Sims1makinmagicpic4.jpeg Sims1makinmagicpic5.jpeg Sims1makinmagicpic6.jpeg </gallery> \|-\| Videos= <gallery> ~~Video~~File:The Sims Makin Magic Official Video Trailer\|''The Sims: Makin' Magic'' ~~Official~~official ~~Video Trailer~~trailer▼ File:Let's Play The Sims Makin Magic -- Producer Gameplay\|''The Sims: Makin' Magic'' producer gameplay </gallery> \|-\| Other= <gallery> File:SimPeople-MagicalDream-BoxArt.jpeg\|Japanese box art, where the expansion is called ''SimPeople: Magical Dream'' </gallery> </tabber> ==Media== Line 58 ⟶ 101: \|''The Sims: Makin' Magic'' Theme\|\|[[File:TS Makin Magic Load Screen Sample.ogg\|noicon]] \|} ▲===Video=== ~~<videogallery>~~ ▲Video:The Sims Makin Magic Official Video Trailer\|The Sims Makin Magic Official Video Trailer ~~</videogallery>~~ {{S-tsmm}} {{The Sims navigation}} {{Magic}} {{Sims\|state1=uncollapsed}} [[es:Los Sims: Magia Potagia]] [[fr:Les Sims: Abracadabra]] [[pl:The Sims: Abrakadabra]] [[ru:The Sims: Makin' Magic]] [[Category:Makin' Magic\| ]] [[Category:Games\|Makin' Magic, The Sims]] [[Category:Expansion packs\|Makin' Magic, The Sims]] [[Category:The Sims\|Makin' Magic]]
