What are Essences in MySims?

Essences are collectible items used as building blocks and paint ingredients in crafting. Many are gathered in-game (apples, flowers), while others are acquired through interactions. They fall into three categories: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Matching essences to Sims' preferences ensures happy customers. Most serve as physical objects or custom paint components in Build Mode.

Finding All MySims Essences

Your MySims Nintendo Switch journey unveils various essences. Sims often request items needing specific essences, highlighting the need for strategic gathering. Unlocking new areas and leveling up your town expands your essence collection.

Town Essences

Early game essence hunting is confined to your town, with areas like the Forest and Desert initially inaccessible. The Crowbar tool (obtained via town level-ups) unlocks prospecting caves, revealing more essences.
