Discover the Secrets: Unveiling All Essences in MySims

This MySims retro remake guide helps players locate essential crafting ingredients: Essences. Whether you're a newcomer or a returning fan from the Wii or DS versions, this refresher covers Essence acquisition.

What are Essences in MySims?

Essences are collectible items crucial for crafting in MySims. Found through various activities, they serve as building blocks and paint components. Some are readily gathered (apples, flowers), while others require specific interactions.

Three main Essence categories exist: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Each has a thematic connection, influencing Sim happiness when used in construction. Most function as physical objects or custom paint ingredients in Build Mode.

Complete MySims Essence Guide

Your MySims Nintendo Switch journey unveils diverse Essences. Sims often request items needing specific Essences, so knowing their locations is vital. Unlocking new areas and leveling up your town expands Essence availability.

Town Essences

Early-game exploration focuses on your town. The Forest and Desert are initially inaccessible, requiring tool unlocks. Many early-game Sim requests are fulfilled with these town Essences. The Crowbar, obtained by leveling up your town, opens prospecting caves.
