The Sims: Makin' Magic Announced

Calling all would-be Harry Potters: The Sims Makin’ Magic Announced (thanks Gamer's Hell) is the press release announcing plans for Makin' Magic, the seventh (!), and final add-on for The Sims (which is required to play, either the original or the deluxe edition). The announcement is accompanied by a pair of new screenshots, and here's a bit that admits that the game's chores are tedious, and that your neighbors might just be annoying:

In this expansion pack finale for The Sims original series, your Sims can cast magic spells to improve their love life, wreak havoc on visiting neighbors, or put an end to their tedious chores. An all-new magical carnival-themed destination, exciting new gameplay, and a whole new cast of quirky characters await you in this powerful pack of magical high jinx. Send your Sims to Magic Town to perform mind-boggling tricks and discover secret recipes for spells and charms. Back home, transform everyday objects into helpful minions, hypnotize your so-called friends, or turn that annoying neighbor into a frog.

I've always been a bit of a defender when it comes to the Sims, since I played it a lot when it was still new and fresh, but even I have to say that this expansion pack sounds totally lame. Then again, I think they've pretty much exhausted every possible expansion anyways, so they must be scraping the bottom of some barrel somewhere.

What surprises me is that this is the last expansion pack. When they were talking about the Sims 2, they said that they would keep adding and expanding to the original Sims even while Sims 2 would be in the stores (seeing as how Sims 2 will require some pretty hefty hardware to run properly).

Then again, EA killed UO2 because they didn't want it to compete with the original, so in a way this does make sense. I just don't see all those people who've bought the original Sims and the six seven expansions rushing out to start all over again.

Still, Sims 2 looks pretty sweet.
