The Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack Reviews
This expansion pack was what I needed to get my Sims' on. Thanks again for the awesome price on this game too. Keep up the good work.
As you can guess from the title, this EP gives your Sims the ability to practice magic. If you still have the original Sims game, I highly recommend this EP. No devil worship or the occult here.
If you don't, a far better choice is the Sims Complete Collection which is compatible with Windows XP (not sure about Vista) and comes with every Sims expansion pack. I play the Sims 2 on my desktop which has a much larger hard drive and faster processor. It's pretty harmless stuff like turning a Sim temporarily into a frog or making a mood enhancing charm or an invisible friend for a Sim chid.
It is rated Teen, after all. It's not anything too scary. I play the Sims Complete Collection on my laptop and it works really well for me.
Dell rules). Well, I moved on to other games, uninstalling this one an put it on the shelf, promptly forgetting about it. As I said in the title, I'm a bit reserved about buying The Sims 2 because I like this so much. It gives you things you can do that serve a greater purpose than just to increase your motives. Then my computer died and I got a refurbished eMachines which was superior to my Dell. 9 bucks. Dang. I bought several games that required more Umpf than my Dell could give, but I grew weary of them quickly.
I bought my replacement copy from NothingButSoftware for a song. (NOT in quality, but in simple system specs. Anyway, aside from the original game that introduced the whole concept, Makin' Magic is THE most important expansion of all. What happened was that there is apparently a non visible defect on the play disk for Makin' Magic that would cause it to destroy the installation of the entire game, causing me to have to start all over from scratch. Well, I went back the next day and bought all the expansions including Makin' Magic. You create new items and have a whole new world of ways to interact with other characters. Eventually, I stopped with Superstar and played for awhile, but I really REALLY wanted Makin' Magic back, so off to Amazon I went.
I bought the Sims Double Deluxe a few years back as it was on sale at CompUSA and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Then I remembered my Sims collection.
I ordered it before bedtime on Thursday and it was waiting for me at the post office Saturday morning. It took three days to install them to the point that I could play.
It changes the whole dynamic of the game. or is it more style than substance.
like. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love creating and furnishing new homes, but I just think it's going to be tough to top Makin' Magic.
I wonder if it would be superior.
I loved this idea but found one drawback to it. Some of the spells backfire when used on other wizards. Not to worry they'll get a nasty little shock warning them to be gone. I know I grew up dreaming I could do magic, I'm sure I'm not along in that - and viola. Anyone who enjoys the sims series, houdini, the potter books and/or movies should not miss out on this expansion pack. It seems like everyone within Sim Town is a witch or wizard. if you get a mean one he'll burn the place down. Turn people into toads, cheat in front of your wife and black roses begin to grow.
So it kind of defuncts a few spells. Otherwise they'll just eat all your flowers so be prepared to give just enough attention to your egg replant you rosebed quickly), if you live in Magictown you just might get lucky enough to have a magic beanstalk grow. With the popularity of the Harry Potter series, this addition to the Sims lets Simfanatics join right in brewing potions and making charms. Two words - it's Magic.
The Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack allow us to play around in the wizarding world. You can own a dragon (watch out. After all this is magic. Once you get your logic skills up, you can perform on stage and make quite a bit of magicoins.
The magical world can be quite odd and strange at times. And should a wary muggle try and look at your recipe's. Even your children can get in on the action. Now we can.well.sort of -sheepish grin- our sims do our bidding and we command them to do magic - yes.that's it.
I couldn't be happier with this addition to the Sims series, there's so many little easter eggs within this expansion pack that finding them is half the fun. Other than that, I found myself having all kinds of fun.
There are 10 locations in MagicTown, where you can buy ingredients, play minigames to earn magicoins to buy them, and there are 3 carnival locations where there are rollercoaster rides and putt-putt golf to play. If you groom your dragon enough, you will get some dragon scales to use in spells when you need them. I might also mention that in the Sims Unleashed expansion pack, you can grow your own vegetables and eat them. Now available as a floor tile, the dirt plot, you can buy seeds at your local MagicTown, plant them and care for them. Some heads with hats, with peasant outfits to match.
A butter churn is available too. Now you can buy Bonechilda, a skeleton maid that lives in a coffin. =]. There are new head skins that match the new MagicTown clothes.
Red dragons frequently set things on fire. Mainly because that was my first expanison pack and before I had just been playing normal Sims. -Magic Spells-. I'd say ages for Makin' Magic should be 8+.
There is:. -New Items and Furnish-. Nothing bad about it at all. Some spells you can do are: turn someone into a frog, bring gnomes -that you carved- to life to care for your garden, love spell, friendship spell, and many others that I can't say because it would spoil it for you. Shopkeepers include Vicki Vampiress, a fairy, and others.
If you also have Makin Magic, you can make carrot cakes. In MagicTown there are some NPC shop keepers. Just knock and she'll come out to clean up. There are tons of new wallpapers and floor tiles, plus a couple new starcases.
Now available from Vicki Vampiress in MagicTown, you can buy dragons nests. Get a magic wand, put the ingredients in the wand charger, and fire it up. I think so. -New Locations-. Good expanision pack, I really enjoyed it the first few weeks I had it. You have to buy baking mix and sugar at MagicTown, but you can make your own elderberry pies.
New couches and and chairs also. No blood, sexuality, or anything else you'd watch out for. Dragon eggs are just like babies, only if you neglect it it turns into a red dragon. You can grow elderberries and grapes. -Dragon Pets-. You can barter with them or ask for a quest to do to earn special ingredients. They only eat the small piles of trash, also.
DRAGONS EAT TRASH. -Appropriate for kids.-. But still, it was a fun game. There are three different colors that your dragon can turn out, but watch out for the red one.
There is also a beehive where you can make your own beeswax and honey to use in spells and food recipes. You can also just make bread, or a homemade cake. Gnome builder tables also. Take them home and take care of the dragon egg. You can make most ingredients needed for spells, but some you need to buy in MagicTown. Make sure to leave trash out for them to eat. A magician table where you can practice your logic skills. Now available is a cooking oven, that acts just like a charm maker, only you're making food.
When I first got Makin' Magic expansion pack, I was ecstatic. Now your Sim can be a wizard. -Gardening and Cooking-. You can also use the winepress to make nectar.
-New Clothes, Head Skins and NPCs-. Now you can grow your own food and cook it. I've had it for so long, like 3 years, that its just lost its magic for me.
Same for tickling dragons; do it enough and you get some dragon tears for use in spells. MagicTown is unlocked and ready to roll. If you don't they will get angry and leave. You can also make charms that look like little crystals to cast spells.
