The Sims: Makin' Magic is the seventh and final expansion pack for The Sims, bringing an assortment of magical powers and abilities to Sims characters - allowing them to take care of household chores with a snap, win the affection of an unrequited love using special charms, or even turn a bothersome neighbor into a frog. This pack also includes many new house objects with which Sims can interact, including beehives, spinning wheels, butter churns, and other equipment that can be used to create spell ingredients.

The addition of spells is just what the franchise ordered. It's a fitting tribute to the simulated reality that The Sims has become famous for -- and a great way for the original game to bow out.

A chore-saving final addition to the original Sims. Its whimsical nature is a nice change of pace from the previous expansions. With the release of The Sims 2 just on the horizon, EA Games and Maxis present us with the last of the whopping seven expansions for their hit people simulator - The Sims: Makin’ Magic. This expansion sees your sims delving into the world of magical arts.

Whether you’re trying to find rare ingredients to try that next spell on your list, testing out new recipes or just making sure your Sims crap when they need to… this game is still very capable of stealing large portions of your life from you.

While some of Makin' Magic's more-colorful additions seem a bit out of place, this final expansion pack adds plenty of new things for you and your sims to do. Maxis' world-renowned PC strategy game The Sims, which lets you create and control the lives of a virtual family of little computer people called "sims," has been extremely popular since its release in 2000.
