In MySims, Essences are collectible resources. Acquired through various activities, they're building blocks for crafting and paint creation. Many are found in the environment (apples, flowers), while others require specific interactions.

Three main Essence categories exist: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Each has a thematic link, ensuring you create items that please your Sims based on their personalities. Most Essences serve as physical objects or custom paint ingredients in Build Mode.

Exploring the Nintendo Switch version of MySims unveils diverse Essences. Sims often request items containing specific Essences, highlighting the need for location knowledge.

Some Essences unlock with new areas or town level progression; collecting them all takes time.

Early game exploration is limited to your town; the Forest and Desert require tool unlocks. Plenty of Essences are available to meet initial Sim requests. The Crowbar (obtained through town level-ups) unlocks prospecting caves containing certain Essences.
