The Sims: Makin’ Magic
Getting Magic
Create a Sim or a Sim family and have them move into a lot (or just use an existing family). After you have moved them in a lot, make or have a door to the outside to have the “Mystery Man” (an NPC) come to your house. He will drop off a box. Have one of your Sims open the MagiCo’s Magical Starter Kit. A message will appear, describing what it is. Then, three objects will appear (A Hole In the Ground, The Start Here Spell Book, and a Truly Charming End Table with a Spellbound Wand Charger). Also, there will be objects in the box that you will have to add to your inventory (a Magic Wand, Butter, Toadstools, Toad Sweat, and 35 MagiCoins). These objects will help you start on you mission to become the greatest Wizard, or Witch in the Sim world.

Using your Magic wisely
Do not get caught using your Magic at home around more than one other Sim visitor or the Mystery Man will appear and fine you for exposing your magic. However, in Magic Town you do not have to worry about this, because almost everyone uses it.
Have the best Magic
To get the best Magic and impress the entire Magic Town, have your Sim get full Logic. Logic is the key to having the best Magic.
Winning Magic duels
After your Sim is worthy enough to face other Sim opponents to test their magic, have them go to Magic Town. Show off their skills by challenging another Sim to a Magic duel. To do this (if you have not edited the original Magic Town) is to go to Clowntastic Land or A Spooktacular Spot, where there is a Diametric Dueling Device. Have the Sim you want to battle, and click on it. The word “Duel” will appear. Click on it and it will show all the names of people on the lot for you to challenge. Note: You can face the vendors. When you choose the Sim that you want to battle, the dueling begins when they arrive at their post. You get MagiCoins for defeating any Sim. You get more coins the better you defeat them. The following is a list of weaknesses and strengths of the magical elements (White Lightning, Red Wave, Blue Tornado, Black Blizzard, Yellow Brimstone):
- The same element against itself is a tie. Do not do this if you want to get MagiCoins from your opponent.
- White defeats Blue and Red
- Red defeats Blue and Black
- Blue defeats Yellow and Black
- Black defeats White and Yellow
- Yellow defeats White and Red
Note: Facing some of the vendors will give you more MagiCoins than the normal Sims. The maximum number of MagiCoins you can get from dueling is 40 per duel, with a Sim opponent with full logic.

Go to Magic Town and perform on stage all Sim day until your Sim decides by himself or herself to stop. The maximum number of MagiCoins possible in one Sim day is 675, with full logic. Then go home immediately, go green up, and then you can do the whole thing over again to make a lot of MagiCoins.
Easy Toad Swear, Toadstools, Butter, MagiCoins
When you evict someone from a house then buy a new one, you get a parcel from the Mystery Man. He will give you some Toad Swear, Toadstools, Butter and 35 MagiCoins Save the game and evict the Sim/family from that house, Move in to get those items again. Keep doing this to move into Magic Town or to get unlimited Toad Swear, Toadstools, Butter, MagiCoins.
Charm Of House And Home
If you make the Charm Of House And Home, do not use it. It will make a maid that destroys your house. It will break, clog, and flood things in your home. Sell it instead of using it.
Get magic ingredients for children
Children cannot get MagiCoins. To use their Magic Charger, you have to get the ingredients using items. Note: You can also use these things to get items for adults. Except for Pixie Dust, Adults can make them and then have kids pick it up.
Toadstool: Sit on them a lot and mushrooms will grow. Harvest them to get Toadstools.
Dragon: Brush him a lot to get Dragon Scales and tickle him a lot to get Dragon Tears.
