GENIES The genie is the new life state introduced in Showtime which comes in two states that parades abilities unique to other life states: Lamp Genie These genies are contained within magic lamps which can be obtained by redeeming as lifetime happiness reward(30,000 Lifetime Happiness points as Dusty Old Lamp), exploring catacombs at the graveyard's mausoleum, or by the Plasma Punch Gyroscopic Conductor. Once obtained, your sim can be granted three wishes(limited to 1 wish per day): love resurrect sim world peace(or world misery for evil sims) long life large family fortune beauty more wishes happiness free genie Free Genie A sim that already established a high relationship with a lamp genie can wish for his/her freedom. When the process succeeds, the freed genie would be part of your household(so if you have already the maximum number of allowed members for a household, you can't wish to free your bff lamp genie). Upon freedom, the freed genie will lose its lamp genie abilites(resurrect the dead, fortune, etc.) and in turn will gain new abilities: magically clean sim: maximizes hygiene motive of selected sim and also adds a positive moodlet ensorcel sim: lets you control a sim for 4 hours(has no effect on other genies and NPCs) banish sim: transports selected sim to a random location in the neighborhood(has no effect on other genies and NPCs) summon food(except Ambrosia) make house spotless and sparkly

AUTHOR'S VERDICT I'll give it a 2.5 out of five rating. For me, the acrobat and magician professions are flops. Actually, I just tried those two professions just so I can write something on their descriptions on this rundown. The expansion pack primarily lack features. They should've added more for the acrobat and magician profession like adding more circus feel so it would be more enticing for the players. Or, I think they should've eliminated those two professions and elaborated the singer profession by like having the players pick on which genre would they like their singers to be in(pop, rock, country, r&b, etc) and perhaps having their own fan's club as well. On the bright side, I love having genies;they're so handy! No need for a maid or butler to clean or cook and the ensorceling and banishing powers are just so reliable. The singer profession is good, but it's just too limited. As for the CreateASim Additions, it's a two thumbs up for me. I super love the new accesories(especially the plumbob earrings!) and the hairs. But people, WAKE UP! Though the CAS Additions are great, still, this is NOT A DAMN STUFF PACK! This is an expansion pack that should have more (and better) features. Got your mind changed, or got the guts to make my mind change? Comment down! I'd love to hear from you.
