Essences are collectible items in MySims, used in crafting and paint creation. Sources range from environmental gathering (apples, flowers) to character interactions. They are categorized into Emotions, Living Things, and Objects, each with a thematic association influencing Sim satisfaction. Most function as physical objects or custom paint ingredients.
