In MySims there are numerous unused essences referenced in the game’s files. Most of them hadn’t had any work put in beyond just being implemented and being given placeholder textures, however two essences have models, paints, and other textures left in the game. The one I will be talking about today is the Hedgehog essence.

Much like how there are other essences based off of animals in MySims, there was also planned to be an essence based off the hedgehog, however it remains unused in the game’s data. However by doing some digging and restoration it is possible to load the remains of the hedgehog essence into the game. 

Above is the model that would have been used for the essence. The essence also has paints that are able to be used.

The plain colored paints do not appear to work, instead being pure white. The essence also has a palette icon (shows you what the paints for an essence are)

It shows that the plain colors would have been a brown and a green.

In a developer chat held on October 10th, 2007 (readable here)

When asked about essences that were cut from the game, developer Melanie Lam responded with them wanting to have a hedgehog essence.
