Although Tomodachi Life is a rather simple game, I feel it could enhance a lot more. Here are some features I'd like to see for a 3rd version of Tomodachi Life.
- A bridge that connects Leisure Island to the Main Island.
- Miis can be seen going to their place of destination. A Mii can also bring up to 5 friends with them.
- You can interact with Miis no matter where they are. Outside, Apartment, House, etc.
- All the Mii interiors have a bed where the Mii sleeps for the night.
- You can change a Mii's Hat, Shirt, Pants, Socks, and Shoes. Outfits like the Pop-star outfit automatically have all 5 mentioned above and choosing a Mii to change to that will have all 5 clothing options selected. Shirts and Pants cannot be removed.
- A Mii can bring their Best Friend or Sweetheart/Spouse for a sleepover for 1 day. Raises relationship by 1 (possible 2.)
- If the Mii can change their hair color, they should be able to change their lip color as seen in the Miitopia and Nintendo Switch Mii editors.
- No limits or make the limit 999 if necessary.
- If the 3DS date is set to a holiday, the island will celebrate depending on what the event is. Each holiday listed below also has an exclusive Mii News report & comments.
- Super Bowl (2/03) - An exclusive evening news report will talk about the football game the day of the Super Bowl.
- Valentines Day (2/14) - A Mii of a relationship will give a letter to their partner or to the player. Both Miis can do this. The Mii will show the letter to the player and ask if he/she should give it. If yes is selected, the other Mii will read out the letter. The player can keep the letter or throw it if the Mii writes to the player.
- April Fools (4/01) - A Mii may go play a prank on a friend of his/hers. This can bring the relationship or cause a fight.
- 4th of July* (7/04) - The whole island population will gather at the park at 8:00 pm to watch the fireworks. Lasts for an hour long.
- Thanksgiving (11/24) - Married Couples will gather at their house (if they have children on the island, they'll gather at the house too) between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM for Thanksgiving dinner. On this day, a Mii could talk about something they're thankful for as Misc. Dialog.
- Christmas (12/25) - A Mii can buy a present for their sweetheart/spouse. The player can also write a holiday card to their Miis.
- New Year's Eve/Day* (12/31 & 1/01) - The entire population will gather at the Observation Tower at 11:59 pm to watch the countdown.
*These are denoted with a blue speech bubble saying "HOLIDAY" at the given location.
- In addition to more holidays, I’d like to see certain holidays designed like Christmas, where decorations are up for the holiday and it has unique map and shop music.
- Buildings:
- New Building: Restaurant - The player can bring up to 12 friends to this place to chat for an hour long. A Mii can also bring 12 random friends (they can also bring their Best Friend and Sweetheart/Spouse) to this place.
- A Mii can get more types of sicknesses. A Pharmacy has been added for this case. A sick Mii will denote a red person thinking of a health sign on the window. Also, if a Mii is sick, their sweetheart/spouse, best friend, or good friends with the sick Mii can check up on the Mii (kind of like who attends the birthday party during a Mii News birthday report.) Up to 4 members can check up on the sick Mii.
- I'd like to see the Mii apartments designed like apartments in real life. They have a bed, a bathroom, a shower, etc. The Mii Homes are a 2 story house that starts off empty. A Furniture Shop is for furniture in the Mii home(s). A Mii that has a house (married) can have a problem that they'd like some new furniture or a specific kind of furniture. (It's quite insane how a Mii will be able to afford a $100,000+ home though.) Up to 10 people can be visiting a Mii home if its family. Family members who grew up in the home can spend a night at their family house. Up to 6 family members can do this.
- A School. Kid Miis will occasionally go to school between 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Between that time, there will be an event where the player will take a 5 question quiz about general information on the island. The prizes the player can win are dependent on how many they get right.
- 0: Nothing
- 1 or 2: A treasure under $20, a food item under $3, clothing/hat under $25, or $1-20.
- 3: A treasure between $20-59, a food item between $4-10, clothing/hat between $25-55, or $21-60.
- 4: A treasure between $60-99, a food item between $11-19, clothing/hat between $56-99, or $61-99.
- 5: A treasure over $99, a food item over $19, clothing/hat over $99, or $100+.
- Gifts can have certain events. For example:
- The Mobile can breakdown, causing the Mii to be disappointed. The player can fix it (similar to the Music Box when winding) or leave.
- The Swing can hit the player, causing the Mii using the swing to freak out and help the player out.
- More genres of Music have been added. The player can also choose 5 different beats for the genre selected.
- The player can use the gifts the player gave to the Mii.
- Weather can imply the game, 2 modes available:
- Local Weather: Based off their location they were from (Internet required)
- Game Weather: Random, can range from Sunny - Thunderstorms (Blizzards if winter.)
- Chat sessions are now more factor based (sweetheart, spouse, etc.)
- A married couple can have twins.
- Some 2v2 games could be interesting.
- The Nintendo 3DS Image Share plane can be used for a Mii to see the real world using the 3DS camera. Up to 4 Miis can be on it. 24/7 event.
- The player can give spending cash for the Miis. The Miis can use it on clothing, interiors, food, etc. They can also share it with their best friend or sweetheart/spouse.
- Mii birthdays should be a lot more celebrative than just a Mii News report. When it's the player's look-alike's birthday, the person who is on the top of the "Pampered Ranking" chart will throw a party. You are then awarded an annually birthday cake. Also, I don't even think you get a birthday cake annually.
- I would like to see the hallways in the Mii apartments and watch as Miis enter and leave.
- An alarm has been added to wake up any Mii in the island. The drawback is that you can only use it once on a Mii and is only available between 6:00 to 9:00 am. If they go to sleep after you've used the alarm, you will not be able to use it again on the same Mii.
- The option to be able to choose friendship or romance rating in the compatibility tester if the pair is opposite genders.
- You can choose what type of island you want. Examples are:
- A City - Mii Apartments -> Mii Hotel.
- An Island - The island in the game.
- A calendar, this is for you to add events that aren't in the game. For example, if you put on August 2nd that School Starts, the Mii's dialogue could be about school related stuff.
- Hair Color Spray (whatever they call it) should have an option if the Mii should do their hair only, their hair and eyebrows, or their eyebrows only.
- There is now 12 types of colors for each Clothing and Hat item. Overall, there are 12 choices to set a Mii's favorite color to. In Go Vacation, there are 16 colors for each of the clothes, hats, vehicles, etc. and there are the same throughout each option.
- This is also a Mii Maker thing but more face features for the Mii. Also move the freckles to the face mark section as Miis with freckles can also have makeup.
- Although I doubt this will happen, the islander population can be more than 100.
- If it's for the 3DS: You can use Miis from Tomodachi Life and Miitopia if you have save data on your SD card from TL/Miitopia.
- Some sort of “bonus” if you give a Mii some new clothes or a new hat that is their favorite color.
- If the player chooses "Move into an apartment." on a grown up Mii, the clothes color can be any color or whatever the player sets the favorite color as, or the clothes color will be not just 1 color (Ex: Purple or Green for an independent girl.)
- A Mii child will spend 18 days at their parents' house. I feel like the child Miis grow up too fast and to make it realistic, it should take 18 days. Also more than 1 child can stay at the house.
- Parameters such as “<first name>”, “<last name>”, “<nickname>”, etc. should be used for phrases and custom confession lines. This is useful for when Miis pronounce their name a different way like my name. Also it’s near impossible to make good phrases/confession lines with the phrase limit only being 15 and the confession limit being 64.
- I understand why this isn't a mechanic but adding the "Family/Siblings" relationship to a certain Mii as it is difficult to get an exact one as a baby. Note that if you give the same last name to 2 Miis, they are still treated like friends. If a male and a female have the same last name, they still can date each other. This doubles as a "Things that don't make sense" point but I'm not gonna put it there, but I will say that the best solution for this is to have 2 "sibling" Miis become best friends.
- You can sell clothing and/or hats if a Mii doesn’t like a particular clothing and/or hats, or if they would look better in a different color. You can also sell for money especially when I have a lot of curly-locks wigs.
- A way to view your friends' islands. Also a way to interact with their island from your game. There will be an option if you want people to interact with it or to view.
- Chat sessions can feature Both genders and Kid Miis.
- New statuses: Acquaintance and Friend (Fight) [Technically already there but a little more detail and if rejected.]:
- Acquaintance:
- Wanna become friends
- Would get along
- Totally interested
- Interested
- Kind of interested
- Not really interested
- Disinterested
- Friend (Fight):
- Ready to forgive
- Relaxed
- Calmed down
- Mad
- So mad
- Just can't forgive
- Doesn't care
- Acquaintance:
- An add buildings/expand island feature.
- You can have more than 1 island. Examples are one with just yourself and one with a friend.
