When I first got Makin' Magic expansion pack, I was ecstatic. Mainly because that was my first expanison pack and before I had just been playing normal Sims. I've had it for so long, like 3 years, that its just lost its magic for me. But still, it was a fun game. There is:
-New Locations-
MagicTown is unlocked and ready to roll! 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.
-Magic Spells-
Now your Sim can be a wizard! You can make most ingredients needed for spells, but some you need to buy in MagicTown. Get a magic wand, put the ingredients in the wand charger, and fire it up! You can also make charms that look like little crystals to cast spells. 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!
-New Clothes, Head Skins and NPCs-
In MagicTown there are some NPC shop keepers. You can barter with them or ask for a quest to do to earn special ingredients. Shopkeepers include Vicki Vampiress, a fairy, and others.
There are new head skins that match the new MagicTown clothes! Some heads with hats, with peasant outfits to match.
-Gardening and Cooking-
Now you can grow your own food and cook it! Now available as a floor tile, the dirt plot, you can buy seeds at your local MagicTown, plant them and care for them! Now available is a cooking oven, that acts just like a charm maker, only you're making food. You can also use the winepress to make nectar. You can grow elderberries and grapes. You have to buy baking mix and sugar at MagicTown, but you can make your own elderberry pies. You can also just make bread, or a homemade cake.
I might also mention that in the Sims Unleashed expansion pack, you can grow your own vegetables and eat them. If you also have Makin Magic, you can make carrot cakes.
-New Items and Furnish-
There are tons of new wallpapers and floor tiles, plus a couple new starcases. Now you can buy Bonechilda, a skeleton maid that lives in a coffin. Just knock and she'll come out to clean up! There is also a beehive where you can make your own beeswax and honey to use in spells and food recipes. Gnome builder tables also. A magician table where you can practice your logic skills. New couches and and chairs also! A butter churn is available too.
-Dragon Pets-
Now available from Vicki Vampiress in MagicTown, you can buy dragons nests! Take them home and take care of the dragon egg. There are three different colors that your dragon can turn out, but watch out for the red one! Red dragons frequently set things on fire. Dragon eggs are just like babies, only if you neglect it it turns into a red dragon. DRAGONS EAT TRASH! Make sure to leave trash out for them to eat! If you don't they will get angry and leave. They only eat the small piles of trash, also. If you groom your dragon enough, you will get some dragon scales to use in spells when you need them. Same for tickling dragons; do it enough and you get some dragon tears for use in spells.
-Appropriate for kids?-
I think so. Nothing bad about it at all. No blood, sexuality, or anything else you'd watch out for. I'd say ages for Makin' Magic should be 8+.
Good expanision pack, I really enjoyed it the first few weeks I had it. =]
