Essence Guide for MySims Revealed
This guide helps you master essence collection in the MySims Nintendo Switch remake. Essences are crucial for crafting and fulfilling Sim requests, impacting their happiness and your town's progress. They're categorized into Emotions, Living Things, and Objects, each with a thematic link to Sim interests. Essences function as both crafting materials and decorative elements.
What are Essences?
Essences are collectible items found throughout MySims. They're essential building blocks for crafting items and creating custom paints. Many are gathered directly (apples, flowers), while others require specific interactions.
Locating Essences:
Your journey to collect every essence begins in your town, expanding to the Forest and Desert as you progress and unlock tools. Sim requests often specify required essences, guiding your exploration.
Town Essences:
Early-game essence gathering focuses on your town. The Crowbar, acquired through town level-ups, unlocks prospecting caves.
