Hint: Magicoin Trick
To get a lot of Magicoins, you can evict a family and then move that family back in again. The Mystery Man (the guy in the pink jacket) will come to the house and drop off the Magico starter kit, which includes 35 Magicoins, every time you do this. You can save and repeat this trick as many times as you want to get more Magicoins.

Hint: Secret Ingredients
Sims are allowed to make spells but you have to mix in Special Ingredients to make the right charm. To find the special ingredients, go to Magic Town and talk to the vendors that sell charm ingredients: pixie dust, dragon tears, toadstools. There are three vendors throughout town, and if you talk to them they ask you to do special tasks. If you complete the tasks they will reward you with the secret ingredients.

Hint: Nude Sims
First, type and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift + C. Then type "move_objects on" into the console box that appears. Now you can pick up your Sims. Tell your Sim to take a bath and once the Sim is in the bathtub without a blur over them pause the game, take the Sim out and put them on a chair. Then unpause it quickly and repause it to take the chair and put it over a table. Look at the Sim--it should disappear. Put the chair back and leave it there. Once that is done click the bathtub and delete it. Hit play and your Sim should appear naked just standing there.

Hint: Special Ingredient
If you are trying to get the black roses as an ingredient to use, you will need the Sims Superstar for it. When you have at least 2 and a half stars you will see an obsessed fan come and drop flowers off at your house, you can add these to your magic inventory.
