[[File:The Sims Makin' Magic Logo.png|80px|left]]'''''The Sims: Makin' Magic''''' is the seventh and final [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims]]'', and was 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. 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: SupernaturalRealm of Magic]].''.
 
==Game Features==
The main feature of the expansion pack is the ability for Sims[[Sim]]s to create [[magic charms]] and cast [[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, a spell book, the [[magic ingredients]] needed for the Toadification [[Spells (The 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]].
 
CastingBeing spells''caught'' on non-magical Simscasting spells outside of Magic Town by 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 equipped with their own wands.

* If ''[[Superstar]]'' is installed, 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.
*On the 27th of February 2014, ''The Sims Studio'' plans a live broadcast of ''Makin' Magic'', possibly relating to ''[[The Sims 4]]''
* 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.
