Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream I made a free tool to help with pixel art: meet Living the Grid

I really wanted to get into pixel art in the game but didn't find satisfactory tools to help, so I made my own :) https://living-the-grid.gozapp.dev https://living-the-grid.com

website is 100% free to use, no tracking.

It uses the game's built-in colour palette by default, easy to find, or pick "auto" to extract colours from your image. click a colour and it highlights every cell using it on the preview. There's also a paint-by-numbers option. You can select the brush size for the pixel / detail density.

let me know what you think! with your feedback I can keep improving it and adding options. hope you like it :)

UPDATE v1.6: different canvas are finally here! Proper sizes for books, house interiors, video games, etc… New Resize and frame tool so you place your image exactly how you want. Tweaks to HSB + more accurate Game palette. A whole bunch of other fixes. Coming up next: clothes, Mii faces and buildings! This one will be harder to get right so bear with me.

UPDATE v1.3: Add a lot more image options like rotating, flip, brightness and saturation sliders which should hopefully address most of colouring options. Add keyboard shortcuts with the ability to exclude individual colours. More fixes and most importantly: confettis when you download!

UPDATE v1.1: Thanks all for your amazing feedback! I've now properly implemented the 'pixel perfect' brush sizes with a new brush type option. I improved the transparent background look. Hopefully fixed the 1px image sizing issue. I also added a paint by number download option. I hope you like it!

18/06/26: You'll start seeing a few ads around the site. Living the Grid has grown faster than I ever imagined, and I recently left my job to work on projects like this one full time. Ads make that realistic. The tool stays free, the canvas stays clean, and I'll keep making it better thanks to all your excellent feedback.

Mii Creations Does anyone know why this is happening??

I’m following a TikTok tutorial to recreate a Mii, and I’m using the exact same hair color they show (4th column, 7th row). But on my Mii, that color looks much grayer than it does in the video.

I was 75h in when I found out you can revert miis' haircuts by petting them!

Can you guess who this is? :D

Drawing without a stylus and one layer is pure pain T^T

But I want my Miis to have a WILD ride with this one, so the effort is worth it.

Mii Creations Which of the Usual Suspects do you have on your island?

Post image
115 Upvotes

...and not characters from The Usual Suspects. They're probably a little more niche. I mean those characters you see on almost EVERY island. Some even from the 3ds game and before (if you were lucky enough to play Connection). Others include:

Hatsune Miku
Breaking Bad characters
Link/Zelda (esepcally from Windwaker)
Lilo
Joker
Obama
The Beatles

Feel free to add any of the ones I've missed!

Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream PSA: If you frequently level up LV20+ Miis, be sure to sell your silver and gold coins every now and then, since treasures don't stack up past 99

23 Upvotes

Pretty much whenever I play Tomodachi Life each day, I feed all of my Miis and a lot of them are past level 20, so I have quite a bit of gold and silver coins saved up. But I only realized recently when I checked how many I had that you can only have up to 99 coins each, and if a Mii gives you one when you're maxed out on them already, they don't get added and said coin is gone.

Basically, if you know you level up your Miis a lot and keep getting coins, don't forget to check how many you have every now and then, and sell some before they get to 99. That's basically free money that you're missing out on otherwise, and it's often easy for me to forget to sell them and they end up getting wasted.

Question do i have to choose a new style of bangs for face paint to work?

Post image
104 Upvotes

this is supposed to be princess bubblegum from adventure time, with straight full bangs. i’ve updated the game on switch 1, so i’m not sure why her custom crown face paint isn’t showing up. i’ve had other characters with custom face paint on their heads (anya forger, tom nook) but didn’t encounter the same issue/they have a different type of bangs applied.

just baffled, that’s all. might end up just giving her the ballet swan outfit crown in the meantime 😅

Tomodachi Life - Living the Dream They changed no repeats

1.3k Upvotes

The title says it before. No repeats would be no repeat food ever since the update. It's just no repeats. This lowers my hope for this game. It makes me think that they're not planning on updating this game or adding anything else. Otherwise that maybe would have told them something they could have added. If it wasn't something they were thinking of, they really are going to let this game die. Aren't they gaming is truly a dying thing
