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.
