The Sims Get Occult With Makin' Magic

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."

Why does this sound like...

the Sims meets Harry Potter?

IANAP (I am not a player) but I thought the whole point and appeal of the Sims was to be semi-realistic (which basically means that people can be who they really want to be with no tangible consequences). But really. Magic spells? Next we'll be seeing Age of Sims: Post-Industrial War Expansion pack.

Even at $30 a pop, that's 7 expansions, and the original game, plus The Sims Online, which carries a $10 monthly fee. If you buy the game, all the addons, and The Sims Online, you're up to $380, plus another $10 per month. That's a bit much. $400 for ANY game is too much. For that kind of money, I think they should give you a certificate for The Sims 2 for FREE, provided that you bought The Sims, and at least 5 of the addons.
