Makin' Magic

I tried to install the new Sims expansion pack last night, and it wouldn't work. It kept freezing during the installation process. I was worried that it wasn't compatible with my operating system, but, fortunately, I was able to install it today, so it must have just been a temporary problem with my computer. Windows Me seems to crash a lot, though, so I should probably upgrade once I have enough money (yeah, that THAT will ever happen). I've heard XP doesn't freeze up as much.

Anyway, the game itself seems pretty cool. I tried bringing one of my families to Magic Town, and mixing ingredients for a few spells, but I didn't really feel like playing all that much today, so I didn't actually try casting any of the spells. There are apparently also magic duels, which might be fun. According to the instruction book, Sims who practice magic in front of non-magical Sims will be fined. Sounds kind of like a Harry Potter rip-off idea to me, but maybe not.

I should probably practice my guitar a little later this evening.
