MySims: Master the Many Essences' Secrets

This MySims retro remake guide helps players locate essential crafting ingredients: Essences. These collectibles are crucial for fulfilling Sim orders.

What are Essences in MySims?

Essences are MySims crafting components found through various activities. They're used in building and creating custom paints. Many are in-game items (apples, flowers), while others require specific interactions.

Three Essence categories exist: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Each has a theme influencing Sim happiness when used in building. Most Essences serve as physical objects or custom paint ingredients.

Complete MySims Essence Guide

This guide details all MySims Essences and their acquisition methods for Nintendo Switch. Sims often request builds containing specific Essences.

Note: Some Essences unlock with area access or town level progression.

Town Essences

Early game Essence acquisition focuses on your town, with areas like the Forest and Desert locked until specific tools are acquired. The Crowbar, needed for prospecting caves, unlocks with town level-ups.
