Players will start off their Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream experience with only one Mii, but as they level up, the borders of their land will expand, allowing them to extend the area of the island and invite more Miis. It can be exciting to make a customize a new Mii and see how they will get along with the others, but it can also be frustrating if players don't have any ideas on who they should add.

How to Change What Miis Call You in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream

Changing a Mii's name in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream is easy but changing the player name so they call you something else is hidden in settings.

This article gives players plenty of suggestions and ideas so that they can get inspired and make tons of Miis that will be happy to inhabit their island in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Family & Friends

Many players will probably already have made Miis of their family members and friends, as they can be used for other games, such as Nintendo Switch Sports. If not, this is the perfect occasion, as they can make just about everyone they know into a Mii and add them to their island.

With family, it's even more fun, as gamers can add information about which Miis are related, and once they become close enough, it will be unveiled, and Mii News will even air a report on this exciting news. Players can also select which Miis are partners in the real world, and if they get married in-game, it will be revealed in a news cast as well.

Movie Stars

Turning players' favorite actors into the Miis is a great idea, as they can put together celebrities from every movie genre, which will certainly diversify the personalities available on their island.

I made Jason Statham and gave him a Karate DVD, so he's always practicing his moves outside dressed like a master of this martial art. It's hilarious and makes it seem like he's getting in character and practicing for his next action-packed movie.

Heroes and Villains

Players can bring their favorite fictional characters to Tomodachi Life, and the result will surely be amazing - especially if they bring a hero and antagonist from the same universe.

I created Batman and The Joker, and oddly enough, they quickly became friends. Batman asked me how he should get closer to The Joker, and I told him to engage in conversation about Gotham. They are now friends and have nicknames for one another.

Co-Workers

Mixing co-workers with the chaos of Tomodachi Life can only lead to a hilarious outcome. Players can consider making their boss, workplace bestie, or nemesis, and see how they get on with the rest of the folks on the island.

It is all in good fun, so who knows what could happen. They might even have something new to tell their co-workers the next time they see them at work.

TV Show Cast Members

There are all sorts of TV shows, so the possibilities are endless. On top of that, the characters all interact with each other in a certain manner based on the plot and storyline, so it's always interesting to see how they get along when players attempt to recreate them and their personalities in Tomodachi Life. Gamers might even see enemies become unexpected lovers.

YouTubers and Streamers

Content creators, influencers, YouTubers, and streamers are all online personas that can easily make a living on Tomodachi Life island.

Music Artists

Looking for eccentric Miis or someone that'll fit right into the quirkiest clothes available in the shop? Making a music artist will solve this problem.

There are so many types of musicians that players will easily find someone fitting for the coolest-looking outfits in the shop. I made Lady Gaga and made her face paint look like her makeup in the Poker Face music video. She loved the ballet outfit and the samurai boots that I got for her.

Cartoon Characters

Even if some cartoon characters have peculiar features or are shaped differently, it is possible to replicate a lot of this using the face paint tool when creating a Mii. As long as players can get creative with the tools they're given, they will be able to make just about anyone in Tomodachi Life.

Pets

While it might sound strange to turn animals into Miis at first, it's actually pretty cute seeing your pets walking around your island and how they interact with the other inhabitants.

For example, I made my cat, Chili, and he chose to become friends with Jason Statham, and they began talking about how much they enjoyed playing Fortnite. It was hilarious.
