This retro MySims remake might require a refresher, whether you're a newcomer or a returning player from the Wii or DS versions. Essences are crucial for crafting items to fulfill requests from your Sims, so knowing their locations is key.
Three main essence categories exist: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Each has a thematic element, ensuring you create items aligning with your Sims' preferences to keep them happy. Most essences serve as physical objects or custom paint ingredients in Build Mode.
Your MySims Nintendo Switch adventure introduces numerous essences. Sims often request items needing specific essences, highlighting the need for this guide.
Note: Some essences unlock upon reaching new areas or town levels, so collecting them all takes time.
