I personally turn the Store world Midnight Hollow into my Magic Town, with the help of some mods that make it less monochrome (Shimrod's Midnight Hollow Terrain, Aminovas' MH Plant Overrides, any lighting mod) and I used the
Broadcaster tool to make a station of Makin Magic music to play on the lots.
I've only got the base game TS1 installed right now, but I can see that the file formats for the sound fx are quite peculiar! I'd recommend asking in the TS1 discussion forum here if they're familiar with how to access and convert those files, as there are a few long time TS1 modders around who are very passionate about all such things

If one was really desperate, there are probably YouTube videos the sfx could be ripped from. I'm not sure if TS3 has ambient sounds in the same way that could be replaced, but the first step should be getting your hands on those files.
There are a number of TS1 item recreations for TS4 that you could learn to convert. I converted a Hole in the Ground for personal use, but I can't seem to find the original TS4 set it was from at all otherwise I would link it

The main difficulty is that TS1 items aren't true 3D and can't be converted, so it's down to talented 3D artists to make them from scratch. There's a fair bit from TS1 I'd like to make eventually, but I'm still working on the talented part
Some things that aren't conversions but fit the theme very well include Cyclonesue's Caravan set and the Store set 'Drifter's Desire'. Actually, there is a lot of Store content that goes a long way. 'World of Wonder' and related Roaring Heights content is also very useful for the fairground parts, Le Cirque Espirit and More Magic! too.
I digress, because this is a lot more than you asked for, but Makin Magic has an iron grip on me.
Even my Animal Crossing island is Magic Town.....
