Magicoins

The currency of Magic Town. The original game was designed to be a game-within-a-game - to gather Magicoins enough to do what you wanted to do ie buy a house in Magic Town, by "earning" the Magicoins.

Earning It

The single best payout for magicoins is duelling, though the payout depends on your opponent's logic score (vendors always have 10). This is nice, because it doesn't require any skills for your playable Sim.

If you have a high logic score, however, the best payout is the stage performer option. It doesn't give as much per shot, but by clicking on the stage right as you begin a trick (leave your mouse over the stage so you don't miss it) you can queue tricks up indefinitely - or at least until your Sim gets too grumpy to perform. (Although it's not as good an earner at lower logic levels, I'd recommend using it then anyway, just because the failed tricks are funny.)

• Duelling Vicki Vampiress and winning awards you Magicoins. The maximum output is 40 coins per duel.
  • If she casts Blue Tornado, cast Red Wave or White Lightning
  • If she casts Yellow Brimstone, cast Black Blizzard or Blue Tornado
  • If she casts Red Wave, cast Yellow Brimstone or White Lightning
  • If she casts Black Blizzard, cast Red Wave or Blue Tornado
  • If she casts While Lightening, cast Yellow Blizzard or Black Blizzard
• A Sim can go to Magic Town and perform on stage all day long. With full Logic, the maximum output from this method for a day appears to be 675 Magicoins.

Evict a family from their home and move them back in. When you do so, the Mystery Man will come to your house and drop a Magico starter kit which contains 35 Magicoins. You can save the coins and do this as often as you like.

Limits

A Sim can only carry 32,767 Magicoins at once, and MagiCo's Bookshelf of Dimensional Storage will only hold 30,000.

• I'm told there is a cheat for magicoins, but it will only work with the simscheats patch installed, so you also need no-CD for it.
• ATMs giving you magicoins for simoleons
  • Making Magic Coin Machine by Wyaneking
  • KillerSims' ATM here
• A vase that gives lots of Magicoins by Cravze
• Biedersims have a couple of items that include Magic goodies
  • A spinning wheel that makes Magicoins instead of thread.
  • Knockturn's Banking Centre exchanges Muggle money for Magicoins.

Simslice has Slater's Starter Kit - a "hot" version of the original MM box but with far more coins, Toad Skins, etc in it. Archived here.


If your Sim has too MANY Magicoins, you can use Simslice's Magicoin Flusher to get rid of the excess...
