It’s no secret that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream allows for a frankly mindblowing amount of player freedom when it comes to customization options, from custom facepaint, clothing, and food for Miis, to custom building exteriors and decorative objects for the island they live on. Player-made artistic aides like Living the Grid allow for even more precision, providing the tools to create picture-perfect in-game recreations of everyday objects (even if you’re not a pro at pixel art).
As a result, players have spent the month-and-a-half since the game’s launch creating anything and everything, from familiar characters from popular game, film, and television franchises, to unique creations, like this wheelchair dress.
Keep reading for a look at some of the funniest, wildest, and most well-made player creations we’ve stumbled across so far.
Green M&M and Green Eminem
It’s a very simple concept, but it’s still hilarious. Reddit user /u/slinkwoman recently shared a pair of Mii creations featuring the iconic Green M&M and a green-skinned version of rapper Eminem. I’m dying to know if these two hit it off, or if one of them is currently green with envy, watching the other soak up all the limelight on their island. – C.L.
Lae’zel, Shadowheart, and Us (Baldur’s Gate 3)
A YouTuber who goes by Whisky uploaded a nearly six-minute-long video showing off their Baldur’s Gate 3 creations, which include an incredibly well-made Lae’zel Mii, along with a custom pet designed to resemble everyone’s favorite Intellect Devourer (and occasional party member), Us. Despite being presented with a very well-designed pet, Shadowheart looks less than thrilled with Us.
Other incredibly detailed Mii-versions of Baldur’s Gate 3 characters–including Astarion, Gale, and Karlach–can also be spotted in the video. – C.L.
Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen (Adventure Time)
While not nearly as impressive as many of the intricately designed creations in this list, I can’t resist tooting my own horn here a little bit. Creating Princess Bubblegum and Marceline took a lot longer than I expected. Marceline was fairly easy–I decided to go for a twist on the red-eyed, monstrous form she sometimes takes on in moments of anger.
Bubblegum was another story. Her face stays pretty consistent throughout the series, so there was no real way to get around the “two black dots for eyes and a tiny mouth” look. I did end up giving her a nose (though she doesn’t have a visible one in the cartoon), because she looked far too odd without it. I even managed to find a hairstyle similar to one she wears in a flashback episode. She looks pretty good at first glance, but because I had to warp and enlarge her eyes so much to make them the right shape, she looks absolutely terrifying when she blinks or closes her eyes. – C.L.
Feldspar (The Outer Wilds)
I’ve stumbled across quite a few Mii-versions of Hearthians from The Outer Wilds, but by far, my favorite is Reddit user /u/DatCurlyPal’s truly out-of-this-world take on Feldspar. His upper eyes are real, while the lower set–along with all of his freckles, facial scarring, and skin texture–was handpainted on by DatCurlyPal.
One feature that’s especially worthy of note here is the shape of Feldspar’s ears. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream does feature a pointed “elf” ear option, but it only gives Miis ears with pointed tips. Just like his lower set of eyes, the frayed texture seen on the bottom of his ears was, again, handcrafted by DatCurlyPal. – C.L.
Hinako (Silent Hill f) and Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil)
As someone obsessed with the latest entries in both the Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises, I simply had to create both Hinako and Leon. Despite their franchise’s light rivalry, the Mii versions of these two have quickly become best friends–perhaps due to, you know, all the trauma. – J.C.
Mr. Puppy & friends
Reddit user /u/Shrubland has been showing off a collection of creations in which animals are shown to pilot robotic bodies. It all started with Mr. Puppy, a small dog of indeterminate breed who has somehow managed to commandeer a robot Mii. Shrubland followed up their initial post with a video showing exactly how they built Mr. Puppy, and later revealed that Mr. Puppy has since been joined by two new brain-jacking associates: Ms. Kitty and Dr. Turtle. – C.L.
