This guide helps you master essence collection in the MySims Nintendo Switch remake. Essences are crucial for crafting and fulfilling Sim requests, impacting your town's happiness. They're categorized into Emotions, Living Things, and Objects, each with a thematic link to Sim personalities. Many are gathered directly, while others require specific interactions.

Essences are collectible items used as building blocks and paint components in crafting. Matching essences to Sim preferences ensures their happiness.

Finding Essences:

Initially, your town is the only explorable area. Unlocking tools expands access to the Forest and Desert, revealing more essences. Some essences are only available after town level-ups or area unlocks.
