The Sims franchise has been around since 2000, and since its beginnings the occult and supernatural have been a part of The Sims, whether it be Bonehilda, the grim reaper, genies, or magic. It wasn't until the very last expansion pack of The Sims 1 in 2004, however, until the developers decided to focus on the supernatural part of the series with The Sims: Makin' Magic. While subsequent games in series like The Sims 4 have tapped into the supernatural theme, they haven't quite captured the same theme of otherworldly wonder that featured in The Sims: Makin' Magic.
