The Sims Makin' Magic is the the last of the expansions in The Sims and it looks like they wanted to go out with a bang. The graphics situation is pretty much the same as for any Sims expansion. Your Sims themselves aren't fantastic although they are satisfactory but you will find nicely done objects and some other small things in the game. I'd say the real down side to the graphics are the effects (e.g dueling spells) but overall you should recognise this as a Sim game. When you go back to your old Sim characters the Mystery Man will turn up at the door with a starter magic set, you can choose to open the box and release the world of magic within or you can get rid of it or you can brick it up in the bathroom wall to be opened at a later date. Of course with your new expansion comes a new town, magic town which is divided up into a spooky haunted forest and a weird carnival, here you can complete quests for items, stage magic shows, compete in duels and buy items using either Simoleons or Magicoins. The new expansion also offers a wide range of spells and charms which may go your way or under certain conditions backfire and of course this expansion also introduces a fun +175 new objects. The Sims Makin' Magic brings with it a number of "whooshes" and "dings" as sound effects and the soundtrack can only be described as strange and sometimes haunting but very suiting to the unpredictable world of magic. If you've picked up all the other expansions pick this one up and make your collection complete but if you are scared of your Sims never being the same again, don't worry just leave that box bricked up behind the wall to rot forever and stay well away from Magic Town.
