Unlock the Secrets: Master All Essences in MySims

This guide helps you master the essence-gathering in the MySims Nintendo Switch remake. Essences are crucial for crafting and fulfilling Sim requests, so knowing their locations is key.

What are Essences in MySims?

Essences are collectible items used in crafting and painting. They're found through various activities and are essential for creating items that resonate with your Sims' personalities. Three main categories exist: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Matching essences to Sim preferences ensures happy customers.

All MySims Essences and How to Obtain Them

Your MySims journey will uncover numerous essences, many tied to specific Sim requests. Access to certain essences is gated behind area unlocks and town level progression.
