The main feature of the expansion pack is the ability for Sims 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.

Casting spells on non-magical Sims outside of Magic Town 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.

The Sims: Makin' Magic is the seventh and final expansion pack for The Sims, and was released on October 28, 2003.

Game Features[edit | edit source]

The main feature of the expansion pack is the ability for Sims to create magic charms and cast 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 spell, a wand charger (which also dispenses wands), 35 MagiCoins, and a Hole In The Ground which provides easy access to Magic Town.
