This MySims retro remake guide helps you find all the essences needed for crafting. Essences are key crafting ingredients used to fulfill Sim requests and create paints. They fall into three categories: Emotions, Living Things, and Objects, each with a thematic link to Sim personalities.

Essences are collectible items found throughout gameplay, used in building and paint creation. Some are readily gathered (apples, flowers), while others require specific interactions. Matching essences to Sim preferences ensures happy customers! Most function as physical items or custom paint ingredients.
