All Essences and How To Get Them in MySims

This MySims retro remake guide helps you locate essential crafting ingredients: Essences. Whether you're a returning player or new to the series, understanding Essences is crucial for fulfilling Sim orders.

What are Essences in MySims?

Essences are collectible items used in crafting. Found through various activities, they serve as building blocks and paint components. Some are readily gathered (apples, flowers), while others require specific interactions. They fall into three categories: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects. Matching Essences to Sim preferences ensures happy customers. Most Essences have dual uses: as physical objects and custom paint ingredients.
