I can't believe my eyes are wet because of a game i used to play when i was a little girl! Sooo much memories... How i loved The Sims 1 and it's simplicity, although in that time it looked to me like something magical, a unique game where i could enter a beautiful, new world and play for hours and hours. After The Sims 1 i've played the rest of the series, but that feeling of pure happiness only the first one had given to me. Thank you for bringing me back so great memories of my childhood! :)
I have been clinically depressed for months and right now I am on Prozac. Sadly it wasn't enough. I listen to LGR's videos over and over for therapeutic purposes. I have no idea how it helps me. All I know he can make a fortune just out of his voice. He is my savior. God bless you, Sir.
I have been binge watching your videos for the past 2 days, my boyfriend thinks it's weird, but oh my gosh, so much nostalgia! THANK YOU FOR THIS CHANNEL. :)
I know a lot of people make Sims videos, but LGR are the only ones that are consistently entertaining. That and he's a sadist, that's the one thing that makes a Sims game hilarious.
Omg. I never jumped through the hole. I never knew there was another town😂😭 wasted this whole expansion, like I didn't know about any of this. Shows how young I was!
Am I the only that used to turn other sims into toads and then have my baby dragons eat them? XD When I relized you could do that I decided to have .... a little party... and invited all of my friendly neighboors. My dragon went to bed with a full belly that night XD
One of my favorite additions to The Sims 3 is the ability to -sleep with- interact with pretty much ANYBODY, Townie and NPC alike, as apposed to the Sims1 where you couldn't even interact with half the NPCs and the ones you could only had one or two options depending on their function in the game.
My idea of a good Sims 5 recipe is -Sims 1 design philosophy and passion -Sims 2 detailed functionality -Sims 3 open world & world activities -Sims 4 multitasking & routing mechanics -Brand new 64-bit game engine
out of all my Sims 1 game (and I had them all), the making magic disc is the only one I every lost. I'd set up my old 98' in a heartbeat if I could find it. This game MADE my childhood.

This was by far my favorite expansion pack. I remember using paper to note which spells worked against which. I got coins so easily from magic duels. Than I would buy a dragon egg asap, so adorable.
I remember the box for this expansion had a trailer for The Sims 2 and the most exciting thing in the world to me was the fact Sims could now sit on the floor. I was so happy about that. Also, the last few videos got oddly depressing as Duke's adventures failed more and more.
oh nostalgia, we meet again... I really wish we'd get dragons back though - I really loved them when I was kid, didn't care about anything but having a pet dragon... I haven't changed much in all honesty.
I found that out after I made the comment keke. But I'm actually not allowed to buy stuff online unless it's from Amazon :/ which sucks... so the dragons are still out of my reach for now...
For the record: If you have Superstar and Makin' Magic installed, *Superstar Doors do NOT stop Angry Pet Dragons from setting things on fire.* Also, Angry Fiery Dragons take crisp interest in stairs.
this is the expansion pack that introduced me to the sims, my mom and I didn't read properly and see that we needed a base game. Thank you so much for allowing me this nostalgia!!
This is the only Sims 1 expansion pack I had and I bloody loved it! I was OBSESSED with haunted houses and such as this had loads of awesome stuff in it! (I don't care too much for current Halloween/spooky stuff eps in Sims 3/4) but this is fondly reminiscent for me.
I loved Sims Making Magic. There was something so fun about it. Gathering all the ingrediants, being able to hatch and then own a baby dragon, the nostalgia... -siiigh- I miss the good ol' days
I can't believe it's been 10 years since this video was uploaded and thus the LGR Plays series on The Sims 1 came to an end. I vividly remember discovering LGR in Summer 2012 and then watching this video moments after it was uploaded on October 31, 2012. Man, where's the time gone... I rewatched this entire series for the first time in a while this Summer, and had the idea of making a compilation of the funniest moments in the series and uploading it today to mark the occasion, but life's been busy so I haven't had the chance. Maybe I'll do it in the future though.
I was pleased with supernaturals it has a lot of stuff to play with but The Makin Magic expansion has such a strong atmosphere and taste that they really haven't brought to the table since. It just had such a strong personality, when I load up this old game magic town is still as amazing as it ever was.
one thing i love about the sims 1 is the worlds are diverse. Like on the vacation island they have part of it beach, part normal grass, and part snow. Here in the magic town we have the pretty autumn light side, the kinda normal side, and the creepy/eerie side
I remember playing this when I was really young and since I was born a couple of days before Halloween I loved this expansion. This was a nice rehash of my favorite game expansion ever. 😊
Pet dragons were my favorite thing about the Makin' Magic expansion pack, I was pretty dissappointed that they never brought those back in later sims games.
i randomly got the urge to pick up sims 1 complete collection, and while im waiting for it to install i was like "LGR probably has a series on sims 1" And i wasnt disappointed lol
Dear LGR: I love coming home from a long day of school and seeing you uploaded another video. Especially one that's related to Sims. Can't wait for Sims 3 Seasons to come out, because I know you'll make a rockin' review! :)
aww I still have this game :) It was the only expansion I had from the Sims 1, they were so expensive here :( .. but my PC was soooo slow, I never got to really play with it... or do most of the things you did here XD thx for doing this, it really takes me back :P
Have you taken even a quick glance at the *entire* rest of my channel? Or even the opening shots of most of my videos? Because you'd see the copious amounts of older and vintage computer games all over the place. My logo is a retro font and a vintage PC for a reason. Knowing this, why's it weird for me to look at a slightly older Sims game when I review old games every weekend? And refusing to play a game due to graphics is pitiful. Might try gaming for the gameplay sometime, it's awesome.
One day, I plan to make a Sims-esque type of game, taking heavy inspiration from the best features of each sims game and the involved mods, while being a more all-in-one style of game rather than selling 20 expansions. Though it wouldnt be as serious as the Sims 1 Vanilla, but not as crazy as a fully DLC-ed later sims game.
KyubeetheEspurr I hope you will some day! Like I never understood why EA never hired someone who for example played the sims when he/she was younger, someone who really grew up with the sims and knows which aspects of the game should be upgraded because they are so enjoyable insted of removing them! For example the fact that every household in the sims had a photo book, so you could maken pictures of funny situations and give them an even funnier caption and you could look at them again an again, I missed that so much in the sims 2, because it really made me make connections with my families (I do like that you can make pictures in the sims 2 and hang them om the wall but still). Also I miss the whole 'making magic' world with their spells, ingredients and cool characters, also the world where you could become a celebrity and also the city where you could go out with your sim and buy chocolat and teddybears which was so cool! Sight I wish the sims 4 would have been an open world with upgraded version of all the stuff the sims and the sims 2 have. Wow hahaha my comment is pretty long and you probably are never gonna read i but if you do, have a nice day!
This was my favorite expansion pack. I hope they will update it and combine it with the undead creatures like the vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc. it would be fun. Maybe I missed the Super Natural one. Was it TS3? I never really got into TS3. Never got past the original game in TS3.
Can I just say your video made me smile. I miss the old sims, and while the sims2 is my opinion does have a bit better game play only because you can do more, I still miss the sims. The music, the worlds, the original. So thank you for making this video.
The only bad thing about this expansion is how hard it is to afford a house in Magic Town. The duels are easy to win, once you know which spells wins over which, however, you get almost no magic coins per battle. :PP The logic skill does help, though
That's one of those games that loses its effect entirely if you're not the one playing it. It's a narrative that's very much driven by your own actions, and it's effective because YOU are the one changing (or are unable to change) the outcome on-the-fly. It's not a game so much as it is a piece of interactive fiction, so no, I won't be doing an LGR Plays video on it. There is a short write-up of my thoughts on it posted on my blog though.
My mother would give me all her old sims games for me to play on when she got the expansion packs, cause I used to watch her when she played and it bugged her. So I started playing Sims in second grade, and by the time MM came out I was in fourth grade, and so addicted. I remember recreating the whole cast of Halloweentown in one house.
The problem is that a lot of these expansions require some effort and grinding to get anywhere. Creativity to be a superstar, logic, and pets are a responsibility all on their own. These vids were great for a laugh, but only because I knew full well the way you'd be playing them disaster was inevitable :P Great memories though. The Sims 1 had a lot of charm.
On the subject of the demographics you mentioned in your October wrap-up video, I can say that while I haven't cured any diseases, I've certainly penned quite a few comic pages while listening to your antics here. It's like listening to the ocean, a sarcastic, Duke-impersonating ocean. I'm looking forward to further LGR Plays, especially if they include the nearly unmanageable chaos that is Sims 2 Open For Business.
