How to Make a Tomodachi Life Island Based on a TV Show

Creating a Tomodachi Life island based on a TV show is a fun way to bring your favorite characters to life in a virtual world. This guide will help you design an island inspired by your chosen TV show, from selecting characters to customizing apartments and personalities.

1. Choose the TV Show

Select a TV show with a strong cast of characters and a recognizable setting. Animated shows, sitcoms, and fantasy series work particularly well. Examples include:

• The Simpsons

• Friends

• Stranger Things

• The Office

• Game of Thrones

Once you’ve picked a show, consider the number of characters you want to include. Tomodachi Life supports up to 100 Miis, but starting with 10-20 main characters is a good balance.

2. Create Miis Based on the Characters

Design Miis that resemble the characters in appearance and personality. Use the Mii Maker to:

• Adjust facial features, hairstyles, and colors to match the character.

• Select clothing styles that fit their signature look.

• Name them accurately and give them appropriate birthdays.

For example, if making The Office island, Michael Scott’s Mii should have a suit, brown hair, and an enthusiastic personality.

3. Assign Personalities and Voices

Each Mii in Tomodachi Life has six personality traits, divided into four main types. Adjust these to reflect their TV show counterparts:

• Easygoing: Friendly, relaxed (e.g., Joey from Friends)

• Outgoing: Social, energetic (e.g., Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation)

• Independent: Thoughtful, quiet (e.g., Eleven from Stranger Things)

• Confident: Bold, direct (e.g., Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones)

You can also tweak the voice settings to match their tones in the show.

4. Name Your Island

Give your island a name inspired by the TV show. Some ideas:

• Springfield (for The Simpsons)

• Hawkins Island (for Stranger Things)

• Scranton Isles (for The Office)

• Central Perk (for Friends)

• Westeros Bay (for Game of Thrones)

5. Decorate Apartments and Set the Theme

While Tomodachi Life doesn’t allow for full island customization, you can decorate Miis’ apartments to reflect the show:

• Use themed interiors that match their personalities or locations in the show.

• Gift clothing items that represent their iconic outfits.

• Arrange characters in apartments near each other based on relationships in the show.

For example, in a Friends island, Monica and Rachel could live near each other with cozy, homely interiors.

6. Encourage Relationships and Interactions

Let Miis develop friendships and rivalries similar to the show’s plot:

• Set compatible characters as friends (e.g., Sherlock and Watson in Sherlock).

• Foster in-game romances if they match the show’s relationships (e.g., Jim and Pam from The Office).

• Introduce funny conflicts between rivals (e.g., Dwight and Jim).

7. Host Special Events Inspired by the Show

Use in-game activities to mimic famous scenes or traditions from the series:

• Have a karaoke night if the show features music.

• Celebrate in-game birthdays for special character moments.

• Use the food shop to serve meals inspired by the show (e.g., waffles for Parks and Recreation fans).

8. Capture Moments and Share

Take in-game screenshots and share them to showcase your island. You can create a social media series documenting your Miis’ daily lives, funny interactions, and unexpected friendships.

Final Thoughts

A Tomodachi Life island based on a TV show adds a personalized touch to the game and keeps gameplay fresh. With the right characters, settings, and interactions, your island can feel like a hilarious alternate reality where your favorite show continues in a new way.
