The Sims Get Occult With Makin' Magic

Posted by simoniker on from the ouija-board-ouija-board dept.

Thanks to GamersHell for posting a new press release and screenshots revealing The Sims: Makin' Magic, the 'expansion pack finale' for The Sims. In this 7th and final add-on expansion to the all-time top selling game, "..your Sims can cast magic spells to improve their love life, wreak havoc on visiting neighbors, or put an end to their tedious chores." Oh, and in case you thought all this expansion-pack wizardry was side-effect free, "..every spell has a unique Backfire, including toad plagues, donkey heads, and lightning strikes."

    Maxis can cast a spell of their own and make the expansion less than $50

    Spell-casting in the Sims, huh?

    Personally, I'm holding out for the Sims Online expansion pack that will allow me to spend all day roaming around the local countryside killing rats with my +2 Decorative Lamp of Smiting in an ongoing quest to level-up my mage/accountant.

    "... wreak havoc on visiting neighbors, or put an end to their tedious chores."

    why do I get the mental image of a Sim looking at a neighbor and a sink full of dishes and then yelling, "VAS POR FLAM!"?
