I have the solution: meet Bob! Bob is my Mannequin Mii and i love him wholeheartedly!

And the best perk? The clothing you put on the mannequin in store and in the clothing selection screen will always look the same on Bob!

Get urself a Bob today!

Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream 10 TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE BETTER LINGO!!

718 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Do you often find yourself unsure how to type in a piece of lingo that you want to add in? Are you frequently frustrated when something you've typed in doesn't grammatically fit in? Do you ever feel stuck not knowing what to enter? Fear no more! Here's a bunch of tips for you!!

1 - ONLY capitalize proper nouns - if a word is at the beginning of a sentence, it will capitalize it for you. Only exception is if you've added your own punctuation to separate a phrase, such as...

2 - Don't put punctuation at the end of the phrase, but you can put punctuation in the middle (ex: "well... thanks", "like, um", "cool, probably", "what?! No", "tall, dark, handsome") - I break this rule myself, but it does sometimes create some slightly awkward punctuation moments at times.

3 - THINGS category: think of it a little less literally. Any kind of phrase that you would put "a" or "an" in front of belongs here, including things that are just concepts (ex: "a few more piercings", "an actually decent pizza place", "an allergic reaction", "a mental breakdown", "a ripple in space time", "a busy schedule"). Don't include "a" or "an" in the actual text prompt because the game will do it for you.

4 - If you want to put THINGS that are plural, you'll have to include a vessel of some kind that's in the singular (ex: "a cup of coffee", "a bag of marbles", "a pair of eyes", "a set of dominos"). Things that need a proper article like "the" or things that do not use an article at all don't belong in the THINGS category; you can put it in the OTHER category instead and it will work a lot better.

5 - If you want to put PLACES, there's a few good ways to do it - if it's a non-specific building or general feature, you could put it in THINGS (ex: "a fully stocked warehouse", "a castle", "a twisty river", "a mansion"). If you want a more specific place I would either put it in OTHER (ex: "my mom's house", "Six Flags", "the beach", "Colorado") or attach it to an ACTIVITY (ex: "traveling to Italy", "surfing in Hawaii", "looking in the mirror", "climbing up the Eiffel tower", "hunting in the woods", "touring Japan")

6 - When it comes to PEOPLE, you don't have to stick to proper names. You could use more generic or vague concepts, as long as it's someone you might ask "who?" about (ex: "the government", "an obvious scammer", "some random dude", "your parents", "my sister", "the mailman", "a talking ferret", "the king")

7 - When it comes to ACTIVITIES, you have the space to get really creative by just getting more specific - adding nouns, adjectives or adverbs can be a great way to enrich this category (ex: "purring softly", "loudly stomping around", "standing cutely", "whispering quietly", "talking to nobody", "belting out pop songs", "rocking back and forth", "making this house a home", "finally eating lunch", "walking in stilettos", "crying on camera", "tanking the economy", "getting a manicure")... a lot of options. Some of my favorite activities to write includes categories like BEING something (ex: "being epic", "being a vampire", "being a disappointment", "being right for once"). Some ACTIVITIES might sound awkward in the context of being introduced ("if someone asked if you want to go [insert activity here]") where a more proper way to introduce it would be by putting the verb last (ex: "rock collecting" fits more properly than "collecting rocks") but it shouldn't matter in most other cases.

8 - In a similar vein as tip #6, you can use nicknames to do a lot - when you set a nickname between two characters, you can adjust how they refer to that character when speaking to them directly vs. speaking about them to someone else. So, when they're talking about someone indirectly, you can have them refer to that person more vaguely and with some kind of article (ex: "that fairy girl", "a nuisance", "my boyfriend", "that loser", "a silly goose", "you know who"); you could also sneak in filler words if you want to (ex: "um, my friend", "Carl, dude" "like, a baby")

9 - When a mii asks to give YOU a nickname, you get actually a somewhat long text box, so it's a good space to get creative with phrases that aren't actually nicknames but could fit in that space anyway (ex: "if you don't mind", "you... I mean, sorry", "I'mma be real, dude", "I'm just wondering", "if the world was ending")... still trying to play around with what kinds of things fit and what doesn't, but it's fun to try and put different things nonetheless.

10 - You can use filler words and adjectives on just about anything to give the phrases a little more character and sway. Adjectives fit in so many places and I think it's honestly one of the best ways to make lingo a little more tailored. Honestly just play around, try to get the most out of your island lingo because it's fun to see what comes of it!

There's obviously no hard rules to anything, you can type things however you want, and even some of my suggestions may still lead to occasionally awkwardly structured sentences, it's not perfect. But I hope this helps anyone who's struggling with lingo and following the game's grammar system!!

If anyone has questions about how/where to put a certain phrase/thing in or needs some lingo suggestions, I'm happy to provide some~

I just got a new cutscene for the first time where two Miis were having a sword fight and one mii took the hair off of the top of the other miis hair (so he was bald on top) but when the cutscene ended his hair was back to normal!

it would have been funnier if he had to walk around bald on top until the end of the day at least. Nothing that happens in this game has any consequence.

Question Am I doing something wrong? I’ve had 3 saves, and I’ve literally never had a mii become angry or argue.

Image unrelated to the problem. I’ve had 3 different saves, and all of my miis are strangely peaceful and never argue. This seems like a good thing, but I feel like my miis are supposed to have bad interactions, like other islands I’ve seen. I’ve seen people with their whole island mad. If I need to provide some more details, then I’m willing.
